Om Swami
What are the ways to meditate, and is looking at an image enough?
Ways to meditate
You can meditate on the breath, a sound, a mantra, a form, or the formless. Merely gazing at a form while thoughts flow behind is not meditation.
There are four kinds of meditation. You can listen to the breath, listen to a sound, focus on a mantra, focus on a form, or focus on the formless.
