Have you ever had experience with any kind of "Kasina"/ sign (I use that term very loosely)? I have found that the actual things themselves can induce release; a body of water, flames of a fire, bare soil and spacious skies. I have an unfounded pet theory that this is what Buddha meant, rather than a manufactured disk of some kind.

No I have never used them or experienced them in the way you describe. Generally I stick to the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. I used to practice the four sublime states but have not done this for some time
