What is Meditation?

Here are some ways you could define meditation:

• Focusing the mind on a single thought, object, or mantra.
• Invoking a higher power, similar to praying in western religions.
• Analyzing your purpose in life or religious teachings.

Types of Relaxation Meditation Techniques

Your meditation focus will determine the type of meditation you should practice. Here are some examples:

• Mindfulness Meditation: Focusing your mind on you, your experience, your perception.
• Concentration: Focusing on a specific object or mantra.
• Mixed: Alternating focus between mindfulness and concentration.
