Methods of Meditation by Trevor

There are many different meditation methods available. So which is
the best meditation method for you?

In the same way that not everyone wants the same thing from their
car, not everyone wants the same thing from their chosen meditation
method. Personally, I'll choose a different method according to the
results I'm looking for at that particular time.

This means that there isn't a meditation method that is definitely
right for everyone. Some or all of the reason could be down to
personal choice. If you've not meditated before, try a few of these
popular meditation methods to discover which one is best for you.

1: Breathing meditation. At its simplest, this just involves
focusing on your breathing. It's an easy technique to learn and
because it's perfectly natural for you to breathe, you can perform
this meditation at any time, with no preparation and no special
equipment.

2: Walking meditation. Again, this is easy and requires no more
than a few spare minutes and somewhere to walk. Simply pay
attention to your surroundings as you walk - you'll be surprised
just how much you notice that you've "never seen before", even
(maybe especially) if the walk is one you regularly take.

3: Binaural Beats meditation. Probably the simplest way to drop
into a super-deep meditative state with near enough no effort on
your part beyond setting aside some time and pressing "play" on
your iPod or CD player. I've personally been using this method for
a number of years and have had very positive results.

4: Guided meditation. This can be done either live with someone
guiding you through the process or by listening to a pre-recorded
guided meditation. You can choose the type of meditation you want
for this. It can help you to heal your body, take you into a state
of deep relaxation, help you connect with your higher
consciousness, or whatever else you choose.

Whichever meditation method you choose, do your best to make it a
regular habit. You'll notice a positive change for the better
regardless of which meditation method you ultimately choose.
