Meditation is one of the best instruments we need to adjust our feelings, in order to create a relaxed space and manage physical and mental trouble, and experience the peace of the present moment.
Here are four types of modern meditation, used worldwide today.
Guided Meditation
This type of meditation is, mostly, a modern phenomenon.
Meditation is a modern way to grow better well-being, improve your performance and enhance yourself. It is often the option that newbies choose as it is an easy way to get introduced to meditation. Digital technology and internet make this method very popular as you can find all types of guided meditations online. You just make yourself comfortable, by relaxing and hearing the audio. A voice is guiding you one step at a time and there is some relaxed background music to help you also. There are many customized themes of Guided Meditation that have different purposes. For example, improving someones relationships and cultivating forgiveness as a healing process.
A Guided Meditation actually walks you through the different phases of meditation and help you reach a quiet and relaxed state.
Mindfulness
Being mindful means that you bring yourself in a position where you can observe your inner world from a “distance”. Rather than letting your life cruise you by, you get connected to the moment and you try to analyze your feelings, correlate them with your thoughts and enjoy the present as much as possible. What is most important is that you make your mind clear and keep away any distractions, by keeping attention to what is crucial. Your personal thoughts are not important just because they are yours, you must be in control of them without criticising them. Mindfulness is able to help patients cope with serious illnesses. Some practitioners use Cannabis products because they can be hyper aware of their thoughts and feelings and find it a good way to experiment with meditation. They often prefer vaporizers, the healthy way to smoke marijuana.
Reflective meditation
This type of modern meditation is a methodical examination of some thought or an idea. The practitioner tries to focus to this thought and analyzes extensively the many parameters of the thought. For example if one chooses to concentrate and stay focused to the idea of LOVE then he will start correlate this thought with the people that symbolize love for him or her, and make a meaningful connection. Then the practitioner can recall times of the past in his life that love was present to his life. He can connect this state of love with other thoughts or ideas like openness. By exercising reflective meditation you learn to get focused and relaxed at the same time, and in the long term the quality of your analytical thought gets more and more clear and meaningful. It is very important not to give up and be persistent in practicing and keeping your mind focused on the idea you chose.
Heart Chakra meditation
This modern meditation type focuses on the chakras of the human body. Chakras are energy vortexes and the fourth chakra is the one of the heart, related obviously with love. The Heart Chakra is the center of human consciousness. Moreover, the fourth chakra which is described with green color, symbolizes the relation between the physical and spiritual selves. Practitioners try by activating their heart chakra to create a mental bridge between these two different dimensions. By using visualization techniques they imagine the green energy starting from their chest and expanding. This technique of heart expansion is believed to release the practitioner’s sadness and fear and bring sympathy and affection into ones life.
