Stillness
When sitting to meditate, it is important to remember the main point of meditation. The techniques, whether they are mantras, breathing exercises, etc., are just a technique to still the mind and emotions. The most beneficial effects occur after the techniques have stilled or at least quieted your awareness and you are resting alert and watchful within the stillness. Sitting in the stillness, and merging with the stillness is what it is all about. Everything else is secondary.
