There are so many different types of meditation. How many? Who knows, but enough is enough that you may find the one that's right for you. To start your search, here are six types of meditation you can try.
1. Watching the breath. Can meditation be as simple as paying attention to your breath for a few minutes? Absolutely. Relax in whatever position works best for you, close your eyes and begin to focus on your breathing. Breathing through your nose engages your diaphragm and carries oxygen to the bottom of your lungs. As you change your mind, focus on the air in and out of your nose. Just do this for several minutes or more as you get used to it.
2. A blank mind meditation. Meditating can create a kind of "objectless awareness," which clears all thoughts from your mind. Techniques for doing this often include sitting in a "full lotus" or cross-legged position and letting the mind be silent on its own. It can also be difficult, especially since any effort will lead to more trading in the mind.
3. Walking Meditation. It involves the body. This can be in the form of pacing back and forth outside or simply in a room. Pay attention to the movement of your feet and your breathing and body as you walk, and pay attention to the feeling of your feet touching the ground. When your mind wanders, just keep bringing it back in the process of walking and breathing. Meditating outside like this can be difficult because of the distractions. If you do it in the park or outside, find a peaceful place, and find flat ground!
4. Mindfulness Meditation. A practice that Buddhists call Vipassana or insight meditation, mindfulness is the art of becoming deeply aware of whatever is in the moment. You focus on what is going on in yourself and around you at the moment, and are aware of all the thoughts and feelings that are taking up your energy moment by moment. You can start by observing your breath, and then turn your attention to the thoughts running through your mind, the feelings in your body, and even the sounds and scenes around you. The key is to see without judgment or analysis.
5. Simple Mantra Meditation. Many people find it easier to keep their mind from wandering if they focus on something specific. A mantra can help. It is a word or phrase that you repeat while sitting in meditation, and in some traditions is chosen for you by an experienced master. If you're working on this alone, you can use any word or phrase that works for you, and choose to either repeat it out loud or in your mind while you meditate.
6. To meditate on a concept. Some meditation practices involve the contemplation of an idea or scenario. One example is "temporary meditation," in which you focus on the temporary nature of all things, starting with your thoughts and feelings as they come and go. In Buddhist "meditation on the corpse," you think of a body in the ground, as it slowly decomposes and is fed by insects. Techniques are used to guide you to understand what your rational mind cannot bring you.
There are many different types of meditation you can try, such as "loving-kindness meditation" or "object" meditation, and even meditating using brain wave penetration products. Each type has its own advantages and effects. For this reason, you may find that you want to use different types of meditation at different times and for different purposes.
