Search  for the word "nimitta". It is the "signs of concentration". A number
of  meditators I know, instead of using the breathe etc. would go for  
nimitta
itself.

I wouldn't read Ajahn Bram's view on nimitta as the final word.  Other 
teachers might have very different views. The meditators I know  (including 
myself) pretty much ignore nimittas. If they arise, we go back to  the object of 
meditation. This goes to show that there are many techniques out  that 
probably have equal claim to validity.
