• Open Meditation

The idea of this meditation is keeping the mind open, instead of focusing on one object, allowing our consciousness to be aware of all the things that are occurring without making passing judgments. Think of the number of items that can float across a river. Or, if you were an observer, how many thinks could fly across the sky. Actually, you can actually what you observe, feel, hear or sense otherwise, and let everything register, but the intention is to allow every object, feeling or memory to continue on its direction, so that you do not actually become fixated upon it or attached to it. As you get better performing this practice, you will develop the capability to let it go and NOT react, and be at peace with everything arising both inside the meditation session, and more importantly, outside the practice, in your daily life. Examples of Open Meditation include the Zen sitting practice of Zazen, and various styles of Taoist Meditation.

• A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That

Other meditation types commonly combine both focused and open meditation in various ways, and with dissimilar techniques based on the participant’s tradition, and on the wished aim or result of the session. Mindfulness is a perfect example whereby a person focuses on a single target, but is fully aware of his or her surroundings at the same time. What is so wonderful here is that the consciousness and mind are both active but their state is calm, and the practitioner is not by definition limited to a certain physical spot such as a meditation space, or restricted being alone. After a while you’ll get to the point when can practice it at your job, in your vehicle, while in the company of others, or while enjoying life outdoors. There are many successful and famous people, at the top of their respective fields, who practice different kinds of meditation. It’s just a matter of time playing around and testing things out based on your specific needs, prior finding a routine that you stick to. In addition, many persons prefer burning high-quality incense during their meditation session as it helps them to improve their session(s).

• Focused Meditation

This meditation involves focusing your attention on a sole object, which is usually our breathing, but it could be other things as well, like a sound, an image, a phrase or mantra, a bodily part, etc. Most persons will start out commencing focusing on their breath, due to it’s something we all naturally do and once we’ve settled down, it’s not that hard to tune into it. Developing the capability to remain concentrated on that object consistently is the idea, and it should be for extended periods of time, regardless of what is happening on the “outside” when undergoing the session. Naturally, less and less you become distracted by external stimuli and the better you can do it, the more will be translated to other sections of your being, outside of your meditation session. A guided (teacher or tape recording) meditation session belongs to this category.
