I am currently doing the satisfaction meditation as explained by Leo in this video:

Really struggling with loneliness so I thought I might as well give it a try. I haven't consistently meditated in months and thus am building up again starting with 20 mins everyday for a week. My goal is definitely 1 hour and from time to time multiple hours on a day.

Im doing 25 minutes of first focussing on breath to stabilize and then trying to take in fully and notice all sensations as they areise. In the last months my body awareness increased a lot and it feels very good to just meditate + sometimes I do a guided meditation from adyashanti which helped me a lot with really relaxing into the meditation, decreasing resistance and just enjoying it. This one is one of my favorites, but he has a lot of great meditation from the 15-30 min range.

Do nothing is the hardest one, it's imposible.

I voted other and over 60 mins, but that's my old routine. I've recently been slacking off and skipping a lot and doing shorter sessions. Usually I would go outside and walk, and I would meditate whilst walking by simply watching my thoughts as they arise. I would sometimes enter a no-mind space after a while, or later after the session ends. Sometimes I would arrive at the central park of the city and sit on my favorite bench and continue with more focus on the breath and sensations. But like I said, I've not been meditating regularly lately, just to be completely truthful and transparent.

By the way, if anyone's interested, the Wim Hoff method is incredible for healing and for accessing altered states very quickly.

I do mostly:
A mixture of these in daily settings

Noting or mindfulness with labeling

Do nothing

Visualization

& Expansion & Contraction in my daily mediations which has rinzai-zen influence.

If you haven't tried going 1 hour straight before, try it

Do you focus on breathing? 

[Yimpa]

I meditate whenever I feel compelled to. No strict regimen about it.

I did as I was starting out. Body scanning from toes to head, then following the breath. Then I tried the do nothing for a while, then third eye meditation, and later ended up with a mixed technique.

Visualizations are powerful.

I meditate, mainly, by walking. 2 - 3 hour walk everyday, since 2011.
