Yes, we've all heard that there are many approaches to the practice of meditation, but in the final analysis, when it's all said and done,

What's the

BEST MEDITATION ?

Students of Eastern thought are continuously about the business of exploring the available meditative techniques, hoping to answer the question "Which meditation is the best for me?"  It soon becomes obvious that the question "Which is the overall best meditation" is overly broad, to the extent that it has become unanswerable or meaningless, in the same way that the question "Which is the best medicine for me?" would also be too broad, as different medicines would obviously be best for different circumstances, illnesses, and conditions.

Meditation is similar, in that different meditation approaches may be best for a person at different life stages, or for achieving different goals. Just like physical exercises (i.e. calisthenics), any of the available meditative practices may help the person to strengthen some aspect of mind, and so it might be that all meditations tend to be at least somewhat helpful, under most normal circumstances of life.

For this reason, the potential adherent to a meditative approach need not fear too strongly of "making a mistake" in "picking the wrong type" of meditation, in that successful application of any meditative discipline is likely to be rewarding, even if the meditator later encounters another form of meditative practice that seems more personally suitable.

Knowing therefore that it is nearly impossible to make a "wrong" choice in meditation approach, one may casually peruse the available options to identify a likely place to "dive in" and get one's feet wet - meaning, to select a meditative practice, and to begin to follow some identified set of instructions or procedures for achieving a meditative state.
