Many people enter the world of meditation having no
idea where to start. Television shows us a very general form of meditation, but
what many don’t realize is that there are many ways to meditate. It’s all about
trial and error and finding the style that best suits you. Below are a few
meditation styles for you to consider.
Transcendental Meditation – Transcendental
Meditation is a technique that allows your mind to settle inward and reach pure
awareness. Some call this the most silent and peaceful level of consciousness.
This style of meditation is practiced twice daily.
Mindfulness – Mindfulness is a form of
meditation that helps us become more aware. It teaches us to be present in the
moment. Its purpose isn’t to help us become more spiritually evolved, but to
stay within’ each moment unconditionally.
Guided Imagery – Guided Imagery is based off the
idea that your body and mind are connected. In this type of meditation, you use
directed thoughts and/or suggestions to guide your mind and body towards a
focused and relaxed state. Practicing guided imagery can reduce blood pressure and
stress.
Spiritual Meditation – This form of meditation is often
used when you are dealing with a specific problem or issue in your life and
would like guidance on how to maneuver through your issues.
