Jhana Practice

Read 'Right Concentration' by Leigh Brasington, then attend a jhana retreat with a qualified teacher.

Shikantaza (Just Sitting)

Soto Zen practice of sitting without technique, object, or goal. Not concentrating on anything; not trying to achieve anything. Requires significant foundation or guidance. Find a Soto Zen teacher or sangha. Read 'Opening the Hand of Thought' by Kosho Uchiyama. This practice is best learned in person.

Dzogchen (Great Perfection)

Tibetan Buddhist practice of recognizing and resting in the natural state of awareness. Requires transmission from a qualified teacher; without pointing-out instruction, the words remain conceptual. Seek teaching from qualified masters like Mingyur Rinpoche or Tsoknyi Rinpoche. Their online programs offer authentic introduction.

Mahamudra (Great Seal)

Tibetan Buddhist practice pointing to the nature of mind, with somewhat more structured approach than dzogchen. Also requires transmission. Look for teachings from the Kagyu lineage. Tergar (Mingyur Rinpoche) offers accessible online mahamudra training.

Zen Koan Practice

Paradoxical phrases or questions used to exhaust conceptual mind and precipitate insight. Examples: 'What is your original face?' Requires work with a qualified teacher. Find a Rinzai Zen teacher who works with koans. This cannot be effectively self-taught—the teacher-student relationship is essential.

Kundalini Yoga

Practice aimed at awakening kundalini energy at the base of the spine. Combines postures, breath, mantra, and meditation. Produces powerful experiences; carries more risk. Find an experienced teacher. Start gently—this practice can be destabilizing if approached without guidance.

Classical Tantra

Esoteric traditions using ritual, visualization, mantra, and subtle body practices. Not primarily about sexuality. Complex systems requiring initiation and guidance. This requires finding an authentic lineage teacher. Research carefully—much of what's marketed as 'tantra' is not traditional practice.

Sufi Zikr (Remembrance)

Islamic mystical practice of repeating divine names or phrases, often rhythmically, sometimes with movement. Aims to move from remembrance to presence to union. Find a Sufi order (tariqa) in your area. Zikr is traditionally practiced in community under guidance of a sheikh.

Holotropic Breathwork

Find a certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator for a workshop. This should not be done alone—you need a trained sitter.

Guru Yoga

Tibetan Buddhist practice of devotion to one's teacher, visualized as embodiment of enlightened mind. Potent when the relationship is healthy; dangerous when it isn't. This practice requires an established, healthy relationship with a qualified teacher. Not recommended without that foundation.
