The Ways of Meditation 9 types of meditation theory and practice

Should we observe our thoughts or is thoughtlessness the goal?

The key is to recognize what we need when we need it.

Meditation can be used for a variety of purposes: relaxation, awareness, balance, performance enhancement, anxiety relief, healing, inner peace, new insights, transcending our self-identity (ego) and experiencing oneness with the universe, enlightenment, spiritual development or experiencing altered states of consciousness. One of the aims of the course is to give you an understanding of the differences between meditation types. You will be introduced to the main methods, you will be able to try them all and then decide which one to choose according to your current state of mind or life situation.

Why do we often hear “it’s difficult to meditate” or “I have no motivation”?
I’ll help you not to feel that way.

Meditation is based on self-observation at the physical, emotioanl and mental levels, leading to self transformation through self-regulation. We move from problem-solving mode to being mode – which I explain in the tutorial video (Doing mode vs. Being mode). It is an evolutionary result to exist in problem-solving mode to deal with life’s challenges, but when we get overwhelmed, it creates unnecessary tension and drains our energy.

Mindfulness helps you step out of problem-solving mode and allows you to accept yourself as you are in the here and now. Moving into being mode expands our consciousness: our thoughts become more positive and new constructive solutions come to mind. We become more balanced, which increases our sense of security and control over our emotional state. Rumination and anxiety cease. Through meditation we open ourselves to possibility to change and see our lives from a higher perspective.
