Developing samathi by focusing on the incoming and outgoing breath as it gently touches the small area below the nostrils... during many hour-long sits. As simple as that.

I think it is better not to talk about the experiences though, because people tend to compare, conceptualise, imagine, expect... All I can say is that at some point there was a very intense, ground-shaking experience.

Self Inquiry because it has gotten me some enlightenment experiences. But I really like Shikantaza/do nothing because it's so effortless and yet so effective. Reccently I have began doing walking meditation and I really fucking like it aswell. When I walk time my right steps with my breath and I also count my out breath from 1-10. I don't know if anyone is using this technique or if I just invented one because in Zen they use a technique called Kinhin which is a little different. Walking meditation in nature is a completly different thing from walking around mindlessly. Walking slowly helps...
