Even today, to sit and to be still is all we need for meditation. Elaborate means have been developed, but that is because the psychology of "civilized" people has become complex. The ancients knew that meditation did not need to be complicated. That is why they didn't even bother to give it a special name. It was only sitting, as anyone does after a long day. In the end, we don't need anything more than that to engage in the profundity of meditation.
