Eman Eam: I have one of Mahanidhi Swamis books of meditation techniques to do when chanting, goes through all the symbols on Krishnas and Radhas feet, I haven't gotten round to doing that but I meditate on Krishnas feet while chanting often. Very hard to control the mind sometimes
Meena devi dasi: Just got a flash, reading your comment... There are two different centers. One is the mind and one is the heart. Maybe chakra stuff. The heart is where the chanting comes from. Chanting from the mind is useless. Even trying to control the mind is simply to give it more energy. Like arguing with someone. Avoid the argument altogether. The mind is like the other senses, tongue, nose, ears, etc. It is sometimes referred to as the 6th sense.
The heart is different. It is not a sense organ. That is where the chanting comes from. If trying to visualize Krishna it would be successful to visualize Him within the heart, not the mind. Mind will automatically recede into the background just like the other senses. Thanks for commenting, got me to thinking more deeply..
