I have been meditating for a year and a half consistently. I agree with what someone else said along the lines of how meditation is more subjective and you'll find your own practice tendency. I'll go back and forth between quieting the mind and embracing the absence, and focusing on a candle and zoning out. What I find extremely beneficial is how the things that creep into mind, that interfere with the depth of my meditation, are typically the things that I need to take action on and resolve somehow. When my life is well balanced and my needs are being met, my meditations are deep, and I lose self. When I'm stress about the past or future, I find it difficult to settle in. My practice allows me to separate, recenter, and redirect my actions.
