Which One is Best Meditation for You?
Is it possible to choose the
best meditation type at all? Of course, the answer is NO. What is best for you
can be worst for me, so it is not recommended to try to proclaim what is best
meditation generally. We post this topic here only in order to stress the
importance of recognizing what could be best meditation FOR YOU.
One can heavily choose among
all different types of meditation; it is, of course, not recommended to try
them all. However, you might try few of them and see what works best for you.
Actually, it is highly recommended to experiment with many different meditation
techniques in the beginning of your spiritual adventure.
Different Meditations for Different Needs
The best approach is when you
know how different types of meditation work for different situations, needs or
problems you have in your life. We everyday meet situations that are stressful
for our minds and bodies, so it is highly practical to analyze your momentary
situation and apply the best meditation method to affect this situation positively.
This is why being informed about different types of meditation, their effects and benefits can be
crucial to give yourself what you really need. However, the personal experience
with different techniques is your best teacher in choosing your best
meditation. Know yourself and know what you really need.
Best Meditation Teacher
If you are not able to
recognize your priorities, or you don’t have enough knowledge and practical
experience, it is good to ask for help from highly experienced meditator or
some expert who leads some group, teaching them to meditate. There are plenty
of such groups everywhere; becoming a member of one will also strengthen your
motivation to meditate regularly as you will meet people with similar interests
like yours.
Don’t be afraid to ask many
questions, your teacher (or guru) is there for you and he/her will give you the
best possible advice. However, be aware that there are plenty of false gurus,
who manipulate people for money. Before becoming a member of a group, try to
collect as much information about it as possible, including the methods of
work.
So, What Is the Best Meditation for you?
Think like this:
• If you need deeper answers
on your existence and life purpose, you should try some of the methods of
Reflective meditation.
• If you need to grow
spiritually, try some Chakra meditation, Zen or Transcendental ones.
• If you lack concentration
about your priorities, try some Concentration meditation model with purpose.
• If you are experiencing some
health problems, get informed on which chakra should be stimulated in order to
heal yourself.
• If you need stress relief and control over your thoughts, you should
practice Mindful meditation.
• If you need something
specific, try to manifest it in your life by Visualization meditation.
Etc.
Conclusion
We want to stress again: Know
yourself, know your needs and know what meditation is. This way you will know
your best meditation and there is no other way.
Best meditation occurs when
you achieve the goal (or goals) of meditation. Being it some enlighten feeling
of divine, deeper love emotions, improvement of your health status, or
something else, you will know was it best for you when you open your eyes after
the meditation.
As for us, we have no dilemma
– every meditation is best meditation. Even if it is some simple meditation
exercise, it is upon our will, belief, and discipline to make it best for us.
