i understand where you are coming from.
as i have also pondered the many ways of meditation with the aim of practicing the one that would grant me access to the greatest power(whatever that is to you).
i believe one of the underlying principles is simply to become congruent.
to become focused on one particular thing.

now my question would come to, what is the best thing to focus on?

for myself i am meditating on "feeling".
to feel what i feel and so on infinitely within my meditation.
feel feel feel feel feel until i reach that beautiful centered awareness of being/feeling.

i believe there are many benefits to learning to consciously feel.
once you learn to truly feel what you are truly feeling in the moment, only then should you begin to bring in particular states of emotion such as love, gratefulness, etc.
to become centered first through your own path of what you are and then to explore these other states.

best of luck on your quest.
