I like Shikantaza.

We basically have 2 meditation techniques.

  1. Hold your attention upon a thing as perfectly as you can for a while

  2. Watch the flow of experience-stuff (sights, sounds, thoughts, emotions, etc) while refraining from moving your attention in reaction to that.

Shikantaza is of the second variety.

    Hmmm, eventually my attention drifts around my body. Like, I don’t choose what to focus on but am just along for the ride.
    I’m not very well read with regards to meditation, though the Shikantaza sounds interesting. I might give it a try some time.
