I think there are infinite ways to "meditate". Even coding "in the zone" could qualify as a form of meditation helping you to reach what they call enlightenment. Focusing on something (chants, breath, nostrils, etc) seems to be a proven way for them to help you into reaching a meditative state of mind. You can either master these techniques or figure out others that work better for you. I'm not an expert or anything so I could be totally wrong here. I'm just a dude who took the Silva Method courses about 10 years ago.
