I like Shikantaza.

We basically have 2 meditation techniques.

  1. Hold your attention upon a thing as perfectly as you can for a while

  2. Watch the flow of experience-stuff (sights, sounds, thoughts, emotions, etc) while refraining from moving your attention in reaction to that.

Shikantaza is of the second variety.

    Does guided meditation count? If so, I am a big fan of those.

        I find it very soothing, especially when it’s a deep male voice. I’ve practiced yoga for many years and have no problem with Savasana but adhd, cptsd and anxiety make it really hard for me to focus, so having an external voice guiding me on breathing has helped me a lot when I struggle with stillness.
