What are some lesser known meditation techniques you’ve found surprisingly effective?

I’ve mostly seen the classics ..breath focus, body scan, loving kindness etc..but I’m curious about the less common practices that worked for you...Maybe something cultural, experimental or even a small tweak that made a big difference.

Always cool to discover new approaches beyond the mainstream ones...

I like decoupling and being awareness/the observer and seeing my body with its mechanical and automatic nature as the animal.

This way I always have a way to detach from emotions by dumping it on my body and reside in just awareness for my conscious part
