Meditation Methods

Common Meditation Types:

Concentration Meditation:

Being one of the simpler meditation types, this practice focuses on breathing, visualization, praying, chanting, which occupies the mind thus reducing random thoughts. The benefits begin with relaxation, increased focus and creativity on to some of the more advanced meditation types.

Mindfulness Meditation:

This practice is one of the preferred meditation types being an awareness of the environmental surroundings including the sensations, sights, sounds, scents, feelings, without involvement, reaction or attachment within the present. This conditions one to live in the moment as opposed to attention to busy, scattering thoughts. A walking meditation would be perfect.

Zen Meditation:

Zen meditation is a 2,500 year old practice which has spread to many parts of the world. Reaching enlightenment through the process of deep meditation is experiential. The Zen monks of the past had spent up to 7 years in a cave to reach this ultimate spiritual state of consciousness. Within the Zen sitting position, with a distinct focus on the breathing, breath,  body and mind unite as one. After much practice, experience and live as who you really are.

Vipassana Meditation:

This mindfulness meditation is an art form which began over 2,500 years ago in ancient India. The teachings focus on life as it really is, meaning the true nature of reality, knowing the self. Life transformation through observation and contemplation, which entail desires, feelings, thoughts, and perhaps the soul. This technique is taught in various places beginning with a 10 day course, typically covering the fundamentals. Donations fund the centers by graduates so others may benefit from the teachings.
