7 types of meditation

There are various ways to meditate, but which ones are best for you? This post will teach you the 7 different types to meditating. 

Mindful meditation: Meditating is when you bring yourself back to the present state of mind, releasing all the past so you can go on with your daily life. Meditating helps you not judge yourself for things or words that was said, it let's you refocus on the present. 

Transcendant meditation (TM): This meditation uses a certain word, sound or mantra to relax the body and mind. You simply sit down in a relaxed position and chant a sound or word for 20 minutes.

Guided meditation: This is sometimes known as a guided image or visualization when meditating. The guided meditation can be sounds, sights, and textures.

Vipassana meditation: This type of meditation dates back to 2,500 year old Indian tradition. This is where you see things as they really are. This is done by deep self observant  and mind body connection.

Loving-kindness or Metta meditation.: This meditation is unconditional love toward yourself, well-wishes towards you and others. 

Mantra meditation: the technique that uses words or sound like "om" when meditating. You relax in a comfortable position and chat a word you want or "om" and you relax.

Movement meditation: using an active form of mindfulness challenging awareness into a physical motion. This meditation can be walking in a park, beach, and around the block of where you live. You can use a slow moving meditation like tai chi and yoga. This keeps you focused and balanced when meditating.
