1st stage) perform specific exercise a or b or c (depending on which one you like better or is more focusing) until you feel like x or y or z (which would be a somewhat clear indicator you are ready to progress to more advanced areas.
2nd through nth stages) repeat the formula above, substituting the variables appropriate for that stage

it sounds like you're looking at meditation as a way of getting from point a to point b. not that there's anything wrong with that, in fact many of the meditation courses teach that. of course when you get to point b, they want to sell you the process to get to point c.

consider that if you're at point a, maybe that's where you need to be, perhaps you just need to be more aware of the world you are in right now. i promise you that when you have fully integrated point a, then point b will naturally gravitate towards you without as much struggle or effort on your part.

anyhow, just experiment with different styles and types and see what works best for you. whatever you choose, you'll likely find that the more awareness/consciousness you put into it, the more you will get out of it.
