Do is your favorite meditation technique? Or techniques?

It can be kind of hard for me to sit still for a long time so I enjoy doing hatha yoga, usually in the morning. But I also like to try different techniques, so this week I've been doing some mindfulness meditation where I'll just sit quietly and observe either my breathing or something outside in nature. To me it's a good way to clear the "mind clutter" and feel more grounded. So what are some or your favorites?

Breathing and relaxing meditation

I meditate also. For me, it's a way of clearing my mind so I can relax and sleep. I suffer from insomnia due to stress sometimes. What I do is relax, and remind myself that I am taking this time for me, that it is OKAY to do this for me, that the world can turn without me for a while and to simply "let go". I also concentrate on my breathing, breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth, visiting each part of my body, each organ and breathing stillness into each part fo my body. It's really quite powerful and it works.

my favorite

I love to do Tonglen meditation and got interested in it when I bought a CD that came with the Compassion Box by Pema Chodron. I noticed that you wrote an article about her...nice!
