That depends on your purpose. For relaxation
you can use meditative music and staring in the flame of a candle.
For self-development, finding your hidden potential and
your inner self, for discovering a new meaning in your life - these
things ask for a type of meditation in which you concentrate on
a very high idea.
On infinity, love, inner peace, the cosmic
consciousness, or, if that feels good for you: on God (who has these
qualities).
If a great spiritual person gives you a mantra,
(a spiritual sound that you repeat during meditation), and that
mantra has the mind-expanding meaning mentioned before, then you
have a very powerful tool for self-development.
Unfortunately
there aren't many really great spiritual people that can give you
a mantra. But if you find an advanced student of such a 'master',
he can serve as a channel and relay the spiritual energy that this
master put into the mantra, to you.
NB. Be very careful
before you accept someone as your teacher. Unqualified teachers
(often with good intentions!) are easy to find, good teachers are
scarce.
A book that teaches you a mantra is not very effective;
books are not living channels and most of the original spiritual
energy of the mantra doesn't reach you.
Apart from that,
the book can't see what you need on your individual spiritual journey,
like a good teacher can. For more information on good teachers,
