My meditation style is called meditating in the wings. We flap several times and then relax letting out a couple of hoots. It is a late hour meditation and involves looking into the darkness for critters.  ??? Don't be alarmed if you awaken at a most ungodly hour to the sound of us chanting to the great hoot of the eastern horizon.

My meditation style involves concentrating upon the pure aspect of Brahman Saguna, God manifested in the creation and immanent in the FOOD. The immanence of God in food  uplifts and energizes the chakras by the most exquisite tastes and aromas.
As soon as healthy food hits my mouth the bud cells send celestial  stimuli to the brain, I become one with God immanent in the food, spoons and forks are but spiritual conveyors of the loftiest vibrations and knives are contrivances to split and multiply the single morsels into infinite slivers of bliss.

When I read your post i at first laughed but then read this description on the internet in 'The Divine Life'.

In Saguna meditation, the devotee considers himself as entirely different from the object of worship. The worshipper makes a total, unreserved, ungrudging, self-surrender to the Lord. He respects, honours, adores the Lord and depends on Him for everything, for food, protection and his very existence. He looks always for help of any sort from the Ishta Devata. There is nothing independent for him. He is an instrument in the hands of the Lord. His hands, legs, senses, mind, Buddhi, physical body belong to the Lord. A devotee does not at all like the idea of Jnana or merging. He likes to have his separate entity as a servant and to serve, worship and love the Lord always. He does not like to become sugar as a Jnani, but like to taste sugar and eat sugar. This method of worship is one of contraction. Suppose there is a circle. You have a position in the centre. You contract yourself to a point and merge in the circumference. This is Saguna meditation. This is suitable for people of emotional temperament. Vast majority of persons are fit for this line of worship only.

In Nirguna meditation, the aspirant takes himself as Brahman. He denies and sublates the false adjuncts or fictitious environments as egoism, mind and body. He depends upon himself and upon himself alone. The aspirant asserts boldly. He reflects, reasons out, investigates, discriminates and meditates on the Self. He does not want to taste sugar but wants to become a solid mass of sugar itself. He wants merging. He likes to be identical with Brahman. This method is one of expansion of lower self. Suppose there is a circle. You have a position in the centre. You so expand by Sadhana to a very great extent that you occupy the whole circle, and envelop the circumference. This method of meditation is suitable for persons of fine intellect, bold understanding, strong and accurate reasoning and powerful will. Only a microscopic minority of persons is fit for this line of meditation.

Probably practicing the two is best, since we usually have to eat and work, we may worship Brahman saguna in these and other activities, switching to Brahman nirguna when meditating properly

My approach is mostly to sit around and wait. The breath is always slow and the gaze calm, except for those occasional glitches the passions are subdued. I have many long hours to meditate and my position has always been quite  stationary with an excellent posture!

The best meditations I have had yet were on our neighbors  beach front property  in the nude. I gained some instant converts. The neighbors were on vacation.
