Right Or Wrong Way To Meditate

Is there a right or wrong way to meditate.

Right now I close my eyes and breathe, sitting on chair.

But Vipassana says to do body scan, Silence and Spiders at a 10-Day Vipassana Meditation Course

Is this necessary to force this

What if person just sits down closes their eyes and breathe? Won't their mind eventually focus and clear.

I was starting to read a book year ago, Science of Religion, https://www.amazon.com/Science-Religion-Framework-Peace/dp/0978726413

First chapter or so says
1. There was nuclear ice age 100s of thousands of years ago
2. People hid in caves to protect from cold
3. To keep comfortable from the cold and be aware of animals and other predators, they sat in semi-conscius state, near the fire.
4. 100s of thousands of years later this is known as meditation

The people who came out of these caves were tall and powerful.

Think of Lord Shiva (see, we call him Lord). He is depicted as meditating in a cave. Look at how grand and tall he is depicted.

Can you give your comments. What do you think of meditation.

For me, I am using meditation as a process to make peace with all that has been going on with health.

 

My meditation gets broken now and again. Especially when I am worried I did not set timer (happened once or twice).

And if I really have to use the bathroom, and stop, get up, return and resume meditation.

 

There is so much noise where I used to meditate (before lockdown).

Now I chant "om" while meditating, to keep awake at least.

 

I like the idea of insense. Honestly I fall asleep even when chanting om. When I realize I feel asleep, or then I start chanting om again...

 

I see the promise in meditation. The promise to make one a better person.
