Introduction: Many Ways to Meditate: Find a Practice that is Just Right for You.
Meditation by definition, is mental training. Training your mind to focus and probe into the nature of a chosen object in order to enhance what you choose to cultivate in yourself.
Having a regular meditation practice allows you to build your ability to sustain your focus on whatever you choose to focus on in order to achieve a desired result.
For example, you may choose to focus on one of the following:
*a single object to build focus and sustained concentration;
*deep breathing or progressive muscle awareness to evoke the relaxation response or
*particular qualities you wish to cultivate in yourself such as, loving kindness, forgiveness, gratitude, sympathetic joy, peace, etc.
