(Sorry to hear that!) Are there names for the different kinds of meditation which separate out this dissociated kind? Or is it more about how a teacher leads it? Any recommendations for better/worse kinds of meditation?

What would happen if you just meditated on the idea of making love to someone, or gazing into someone's eyes? Are there meditations like this?
