hello rafflesia!
i am a regular meditator and i've studied a number of forms.
the form of meditation that i am most familliar with is called "vipassana."
vipassana means "seeing things as they really are."
the most amazing thing about vipassana is that there are international centers which provide free ten-day meditation courses. these centers operate upon a donation base only. you can learn more at:
dhamma.org
in addition to vipassana, i've studied zazen (zen meditation) and done a lot of my own experimentation.
i say, experiment! keep discovering!
