What comes from your mind during meditation?

[ComradeMeow]

When I meditate, I concentrate on the breath. It's easier to attend to my focus with this simple meditation. I used to try other kinds of meditation but I found that "exploring" other forms of meditation became a distraction in itself. I would try one technique, then switch mid-course to another - it just wasn't productive. I don't know how you differentiate meditating, thinking deeply about things, from non-meditative thinking, but if it works for you, great. I could never do it.

This did become an issue for me since I am by default explorative. I just had to stop looking around for what else to do in meditation. When I looked at it I just realized that a lot of it was woo. Falun Gong, Daoism or even Buddhism all became distractions because I wanted to somehow improve upon something that was in reality extremely simplistic.
There is no need for ritualism and wasted actions.
