Breakdown of different meditation exercises

If I further compress your summary of the exercises to train

  • Compassion to your body and objective evaluation of your constituion.
  • Ability to consciously relax with a focus on breath.
  • Ability to feel kindness toward everyone.
  • Ability to stay calm and conscious at all times.

Would you agree with this summary? Would you say that it was successful to achieve this? Could you imagine that there are different approaches to achieve these?

Excellent summary. Of course there are other approaches to achieve these goals...however, I can't name three.
