meditation technique

[OmniYoga]

is more about it going within or outside
1) become the breath itself - like merge within - into oneness - fully engaged - is this meditation?

or rather 
2) more like just observe - withdraw yourself - kind of like at looking at yourself from outside of as a 3th person perspective, disengaged - I guess I did more of this for past few years until today

Either way is meditation. When I first started meditating, I focused on an object, such as the breath. When I saw Leo's other techniques on meditation, I started doing those since I found them more enjoyable (like Do Nothing). 

There are many meditation techniques. Do the one(s) that you enjoy so you're able to maintain a habit.
