What is meditation? Meditation simply means attention training. There are different types of meditation, and mindfulness is one type. It is a way of training the mind to be more aware of our own thoughts, emotions, and surroundings. Through regular practice people learn to observe fluctuations of their own thoughts and emotions, and how much these can impact on their behaviour. |
During the course of this program experiment with different types of meditations and think of what would help you create a regular meditation practice and what gets in the way.
