How to choose a meditation technique

[Magnanimous]

Simple question

[r0ckyreed]

There is no technique per se. Meditation isn’t a technique, it is a lifestyle like contemplation. 

Just sit down, be present, do nothing, watch, and be satisfied with just this right now. Very simple. Or is it?

Another thing you can do is sit down, observe direct experience, and realize that I am the only mind that exists.  Repeat the mantra "I am the only mind that exists."  Sit in that solipsism and bask in it until you awaken.

Try out many techniques seriously and with diligence. At some point you recognize the underlying structure beneath any technique. Then you'll create completely new methods for yourself.

Try out many techniques and stick with the ones you enjoy most and that are giving you results. The most important thing is the consistency of practice. The amount of hours put into meditation determine most of how the results will go regardless of which technique is used. This is why picking an enjoyable technique is so important — you’ll be more willing to put tons of hours into something enjoyable.
