What are the techniques of meditation? 

I received a question on email from Rupa in DC who asked "What are the techniques of meditation?"

There are many meditation techniques around. You should pick one that you resonate and feel comfortable with. Different techniques work for different people. Stick to it once you've decided on the technique and practice it consistently. Don't continue to shop around and practice other techniques. In order to be good at something you need to remain focused on it.

Pick a technique that is also systematic, clear and practical. Meditation needs to be approached in a systematic way if you want to make progress in it.

Tune back for more questions and answers on meditation.
