2 Main Components of a Meditation Technique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, let me tell you something. In reality, there\u2019s really one type of meditation technique. In its basic bare bones form, a meditation technique is composed of two parts: Mindfulness and\/or concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">CONCENTRATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Concentration is the art of focusing on one thing and becoming deeply more intimate with it. As the meditation progresses, you become more relaxed and \u201cpresent\u201d with this one thing on deeper and deeper levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I liken this to falling in love. When you\u2019re with your lover and you are in a good mood at least, it\u2019s easy to concentrate. Your pupils may dilate as a sign that you\u2019re totally digging the experience. When you\u2019re making love, it\u2019s pretty hard to think of anything else, or let\u2019s hope so. There\u2019s a merging process taking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In meditation, this same process is happening with your meditation focus. When the mind wanders away, you fix your attention on this object of focus yet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">MINDFULNESS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mindfulness is the art of being present with experience that is happening in each NOW. What often happens when you try to concentrate? You\u2019re thinking of the next Undertaker wrestling match against The Boogeyman. You\u2019re feeling stuff the ego doesn\u2019t want to feel as you begin relaxing. The mind just keeps chattering. The ego keeps pushing away discomfort and chasing after comfortable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With mindfulness, you are noting thoughts as they happen in the moment. You are paying attention to experiences as they happen in the moment. This includes thoughts, emotions, antsy feelings and distractions of all different kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a meditation practice, when thoughts distract you from your object of focus, you let them be. Take notice of them and know that you are the sky and they are the clouds. They are just processes happening in the present moment. Then, go right back to your meditation object.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share uagb-social-share__outer-wrap uagb-social-share__layout-horizontal uagb-block-8f0b12bf\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-9b3dd5e6\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-facebook_media_network_social_icon.png\" alt=\"Facebook Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-24b52303\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-social_twitter_icon.png\" alt=\"Twitter Share Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-7ac66753\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-better-pinterest_icon.png\" alt=\"Pinterest Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-4966d231\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/widgets\/share\/tool?canonicalUrl=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/better-tumblr_icon.svg\" alt=\"Sharing Button Tumblr\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-c6238842\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-social_whatsapp_icon.png\" alt=\"WhatsApp Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-4e5143e9\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-better-reddit_social_icon.png\" alt=\"Reddit Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-8625c646\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"mailto:?body=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-email_hexagon_media_networking_social_icon.png\" alt=\"Email Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-dec3e423 default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">The Different Types of Meditation Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-a5624a5e wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tai-chi-meditation-practice-takes-on-different-forms.jpg 1024w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tai-chi-meditation-practice-takes-on-different-forms.jpg\" alt=\"Meditation techniques manifest in many forms\" class=\"uag-image-3339\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Meditation techniques vary the most according to the object you are focusing on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s go through a few of the types of objects.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f3daaf9d default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Verbal Object Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These include mantra meditations. Mantra meditations have a word or a phrase repeated silently or aloud over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other verbal object meditations include a line of a song or a prayer. You can sing this phrase or speak it silently or aloud. \u201cLord, make me an instrument of thy peace\u201d is a good one for devotional meditators. Otherwise, \u201cI am peaceful and happy\u201d works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some lovingkindness meditations follow a verbal pattern. In many cases, it\u2019s a verbal prayer wishing the highest form of happiness for all sentient beings. In these cases, it may be a whole paragraph full of words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the mind wanders from your object, take note and honor the distraction. You are an impartial observer taking note of what\u2019s happening now. Then bring the mind back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual Object Meditation<br>The object in visual meditation techniques is an image happening in your mind. It can be a nature scene from childhood. It can be Meditation on a flower or a beloved deity. The same principles of concentration and mindfulness apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kinesthetic or Feeling Meditation<br>In kinesthetic meditation techniques, you focus on something you can feel. This is a sensation in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body scan meditations belong in this category. They have a roving object of focus. You start with the bottoms of your feet and become more intimately aware of the sensations. Every couple minutes you work your way up to the calves, knees, thighs, genitals and all the way up, relaxing into the experience along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breathing meditations are often in this category because you are paying attention to the feeling of your breath.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-faccf6ab default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Sensory Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Senses are the objects of sensory meditation techniques. Candle gazing, moon gazing, campfire gazing, the kinesthetic techniques mentioned earlier, listening to your indoor fountain or a beautiful song are all sensory techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to the sense itself and don\u2019t focus so much on the object of the sense. E.g. the experience of hearing the crickets on your patio.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share uagb-social-share__outer-wrap uagb-social-share__layout-horizontal uagb-block-55094507\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-64708c4a\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-facebook_media_network_social_icon.png\" alt=\"Facebook Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-d624d2ce\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-social_twitter_icon.png\" alt=\"Twitter Share Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-911e3aae\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-better-pinterest_icon.png\" alt=\"Pinterest Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-d22921dd\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/widgets\/share\/tool?canonicalUrl=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/better-tumblr_icon.svg\" alt=\"Sharing Button Tumblr\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-79f60d2b\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-social_whatsapp_icon.png\" alt=\"WhatsApp Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-9ac03561\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"https:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-better-reddit_social_icon.png\" alt=\"Reddit Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-social-share-child uagb-ss-repeater uagb-ss__wrapper uagb-block-3aa48409\"><a class=\"uagb-ss__link\" data-href=\"mailto:?body=\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"uagb-ss__source-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uagb-ss__source-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deepermeditation.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/png-email_hexagon_media_networking_social_icon.png\" alt=\"Email Sharing Button\"\/><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-51d70deb default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Breath Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this type of meditation technique, you focus on the breath. You may just watch your breath without controlling it, or you can breathe deeply through the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different yoga pranayama techniques that can each become meditations. Some are complex and some are simple. Alternate nostril breathing and Ujjayi are some of the more popular ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one type of breath meditation, you just focus on the breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils without judging how deeply you are breathing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-997ec773 default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Concept Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus here is on concepts.

You\u2019re concentrating on the fluid movements in these disciplines. They are kinesthetic and often have a goal of eventually feeling the more subtle experience that many refer to as \u201cenergy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned one movement meditation in a Mahayana Buddhist monastery that utilized organized hand movements. The more you practice the more awakened you become to what\u2019s happening within you. You take in a lot more of that experience as you increase your capacity for experience.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-d85cafd8 default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Energy Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This class of techniques usually ends up in other categories mentioned earlier.

You\u2019re working with very subtle processes that we tend to experience as \u201cenergy\u201d, at least after some training and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people practice movement and kinesthetic styles of energy meditation. Others do visualizations, using their minds as radio dials to \u201cdial into\u201d very subtle systems in the bodymind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the major types of meditation techniques that you will come across. Other ways in which they vary, other than the meditation object, include how people warm up for meditation and how they integrate meditation into daily life.
