Hi Rake,
Everyone has his or her own technique. I suggest you try as many as you can and find out which one will work for you.
It took me more than 10 years trying different techniques before I am able to meditate. I have tried Buddhist meditation techniques, Vispassana, watching the breadth, and Raja Yoga method (focusing on a dot of light). None of these worked for me.
What finally worked was a technique that I learned from an Indian swami. This technique uses mantras and is passed down from gurus to practitioners through word of mouth.
