Advanced Eastern meditators are often brought up in a culture where the practice of meditation is a normal part of everyday life, and where it is practiced from a very early age.

More often than not, what is significant about their meditation is not the technique they use, but the time and dedication they have applied to mastering their art. They live in a culture in which spiritual practices such as meditation hold a more elevated societal status than they do in the west. It’s how they live their lives, not how they meditate that we need to acknowledge.

With that in mind, I encourage you to take a look at this article on deep meditation. in which I discuss why technique is less important than many other factors when it come to meditation.
