Exactly!  We loose ourselves in the unfolding.  The "I" becomes less fixated on the body and mind frequencies of manifestation, less locked into a finite fulcrum of relative ego-self.  Such peace, such serenely poised, sheer ecstasy awaits in silent rapture!  :thumb_up:

And to be fair to the OP, Nathanial.Dread, this is a thread about particular practices, techniques and methods. I'd have to say that what meditative technique I use is wholly dependent on the specific day and to what degree I already feel spiritually attuned.  I sometimes begin with some loosening up movements like Hatha Yoga or Tai Chi Chuan.  Often times this is completely unnecessary.  Like jamie says, a walk in the woods or by the seashore can do wonders for a soul, meditatively so.  If the mind seems particularly restless, I do a variety of pranayamas, mudras and chakra energizing/activating routines. 

I am fond of Inner Light and Inner Sound meditations.  And like embracethevoid wisely emphasizes, one can focus on the Carrier Wave as a mantra or central point of focused attention.  This is mirrored by traditional Yogic, Tantric & Buddhist practices, through absorption upon the all-pervasive sound of OM/AUM or HU.  I myself, utilize some Kriya Yoga techniques, some Surat Shabd Yoga methods and some Sufi practices...   but usually I end up doing Zazen meditation, allowing the breath to flow and simply become still.  This pause in cognitive thinking yields a tremendous emptiness, a quietude inside of the whirling buzz of the roaring silence. 

Easily as much undoing as doing.
