Read on to learn about the different types of meditation and which one might fit you best…
Meditation is a practice that involves focusing attention inwards. The focus of inward attention could be on a mantra, the breathing process (inhalation and exhalation), a vision, an emotion, an area of the body, or even someone else. Some people use meditation to relax and help with anxiety, others use it to build concentration, and yet others pursue the practice as a means of following a particular religion.
There is no right or wrong way to use meditation, but in order to get any benefit, you’ll need to know both proper technique as well as the type of meditation you wish to pursue. It should be mentioned that different types of meditation affect the brain in unique ways. While researchers are only in the early stages of determining the neural correlates of specific meditative practices, the subtype of meditation that you chose will have different effects on the brain.
