My meditation technique is purely focus-based. I pay attention to my breath, and tether my awareness to it. I fully believe in the power of meditation, which means it can go wrong if used incorrectly, just like any other powerful mind-altering technique. What I'm afraid of is that in my pursuance of it from such a simple angle (literally just breath focus) and without guidance, I may have pushed my mind into lower working states than are conducive to my goals. I hope that makes sense! I basically did not intend to be a meditative hermit, but maybe my technique and frequency of practice pushed me in that direction.
