I usually do two forms of quiet meditation, and one form of active meditation.
For my quiet meditations I am ALWAYS sitting - otherwise I fall asleep, it also assists with the energy flow between earth, you, and the cosmos.
1. First quiet meditation is a visualization technique, for creating imaginary worlds/places/people/events/experiences. I come from the school of thought that if you imagine it enough, it is made real; plus alot of psychic work is actually 'Active Imagination'.
2. Second quiet meditation is solely for quieting the mind - no visualizations, no thinking, just quiet - these meditations are generally helped along by something repetitive to focus on, something soothing that will assist quieting all the internal chatter.
3. Active meditation, is something I do often in the Martial Arts; 'Kata' or 'forms' are used (because they are strictly NON combative and more like a dance) to induce a specialized focal point within the mind. These are generally done very fast, very hard, and repetitively. Once you actually begin to get into that focal point, the Kata will flow smoothly and your timing will usually be 'just right' whilst doing it at speed.
Generally RIGHT after the visualization meditation I go lay down and nap - this imprints the things I have imagined upon my consciousness far more effectively than not. Sort of like planting a seed in the ground and those imaginations are those seeds.
1. Helps you mold your life.
2. Helps you get in alignment, so that 'mold' can manifest.
3. Helps you actively experience that mold.
