Just like exercise is an approach to training the body, meditation is an approach to training the mind. It is becoming more commonly practiced now due to its numerous known benefits. Some of which are drastically reduced stress levels, increased creativity, improved emotional stability and quality of sleep, developed intuition etc. these mental and emotional benefits lead to various physical benefits like lowered high blood pressure, improved immune system, decreased tension-related pains such as tension headaches, insomnia, joint pain etc and promotes serotinin production which improves mood and behavior. Getting all these benefits, however, depend, to a large extent on your meditation technique and how well you practice it. Here are the top 5 most effective meditation techniques guaranteed to nourish you from within and give you all the afore mentioned benefits and more (if done correctly).
1. Effortless Presence
This is also known as ‘choice-less Awareness’ or ‘Pure Being’ . In this type of meditation, the mind is free, empty and quiet because attention is not focused on anything in particular. This is actually the basis of all the other types of meditation as it discovers the inner silence and deeper states of consciousness.
2. Focused Meditation Technique
this technique involves focusing intently on something but not engaging your thoughts about it. Your focus can be on a concept like ‘life after death’ or something visual like a statute. This technique keeps you in the moment and allows you to slip into an altered state of consciousness.
3. Activity-Oriented Meditation Technique
With this type of meditation, you engage in a repetitive activity in which you can mentally immerse yourself and ‘zone out’. This relaxes the mind and concentrates on the activity. Activities like practicing yoga, creating artwork, walking are examples of activity-oriented meditation.
4. Basic Meditation Technique.
With this Meditation Technique, you try to quiet your mind by sitting in a comfortable position and thinking of nothing. It might not seem like it but this is actually pretty hard to accomplish. An easy way to start is practice it gradually till you get acquainted with the technique with time.
5. Mindfulness Techniques Meditation
This is pretty similar to activity-oriented meditation as it does not really seem like meditation. With this technique, you stay in the present moment mentally instead of thinking of the past or future. You focus on your emotions, sensation and experience them rather than analyze or examine them.
Whichever technique you choose, the benefits are obvious and excessive. For this reason, meditation is largely recommended for stress management.
