Well, usually I do many kinds of meditation suggested by my teachers, students... but actually they didn't tell the name of a particular meditation, knwin it to be beneficial, I have been doing so many kinds of medidation but in vain, didn't really got a geniune result...
So, can you suggest a medidation that really helps in mental concentration and to eridicate myrids of thoughts and stuffs going on in ones mind?

Here's a simple mediation you might like to try. You don't need to empty your mind, just allow the thoughts to come and go.
Meta Meditation
Use this simple meditation often to create and nurture compassion in your life. This can be practiced in just a few minutes, so try to incorporate it as a part of your daily life. Come into a comfortable seated position on the floor or in a chair. Sit with the back flat, crown of the head lifted, shoulders relaxed and chest open. Rest the hands in the lap or on the knees. Close the eyes, deepen the breath and release any thoughts from the mind. Gently repeat the following softly out loud or in your mind.
May my life be filled with ease.
May my body be healthy and strong.
May I be happy and peaceful of heart.
May I be safe from inner and outer harm.
Then you may replace the “I”s with “you”s, thinking of a specific person, a group of people or the whole planet. Finish with a few slow, deep breaths, feeling compassion, love and kindness flowing through your body. Take a moment or two before moving on with the rest of your day.
