Wow,I donīt even know those techniques,Iīm no meditation expert though,qi-gong comes more clearer to me.
I recommend trying simple breath control at first,
abdominal,reverse abdominal or just simple chest breathing practice.
This is how I have practiced (pure meditation,not chi-kung type)
apply half-lotus posture (this is zazen,so itīs sitting meditation)
put your hands on your lap.
Straighten your torso,close your eyes,breathe naturally and comfortably,DONīT think,empty mind is necessary.
I was/am into it for health benefits,does help your training too.
Search the net and youīll probably catch something.
