Various Types of Meditation

Simple close your eyes and relax your muscles breathing slowly and naturally and allow the music to wash through you.

Silent meditation: repeat the word or phrase you have chosen silently and continue for 10 – 20 mins.

Walking Meditation:  this involves intentionally attending to the experience of walking – physical  sensations, feelings, mental and emotional state and objects of consciousness.

Transcendental:  using a mantra to take you to a deep state of meditation.

Mindfulness:  fully experiencing what happens in the here and now.  It helps you to eliminate the thoughts in your head and to focus our minds in the moment.

Journey or Guided:  when the meditation takes or guides you on a journey to a tranquil place where you feel safe and calm.

Vibrational pick a word that feels good when you say it and chant the word, focusing on nothing but the word.  Feel it resonating through you and it is important to roll the sound through your body as it promotes a meditative state of relaxation.

Movement focus your attention on the movement and on the vibration.  Allow yourself to get lost in the sense of movement and the beauty of your body as it moves (dance).

Body Scan:  a form of mindfulness but bringing your attention to the body.

Taoist:  works on all three levels – body, breathe and mind (The Three Treasures).

Breathe and Naval:  this is the oldest meditation method on record.  It works with the natural flow of the breath and expansion and contraction of the abdomen.
