- First of all, we talk about the popular method used everywhere. For this technique, you will need a space to sit. Try to sit on the floor with a mattress. Then calmly close your eyes and breathe normally. Just relax and focus on your breathing. When you inhale or exhale air, then count it. Hence all your body and mind got focused and your thoughts will get diminished.
- Vipshyana : Vipshayana is the oldest and simplest meditation technique discovered by Gautama Buddha himself. Sometimes it is considered as a medicine for the mind which is too wild in its manner. For vipshayana, you don’t need to sit down or attain a particular posture or have to close your eyes. Wherever or whenever you want to practise vipshayana, just focus on the breath. Count your exhaling or inhaling, and watch calmly everything which is happening outside. If your mind takes interest in these sights, then let him be but you let yourself aside of what your mind does.
- Mantra Meditation : Mantra meditation or Chanting meditation is the oldest prayer meditation technique which you can use if your mind is too undisciplined. In this meditation, practitioner chant a word( often a holy word like Om), with the exhaling or inhaling. This can also perform with any time prayer chant you can. Just you have to focus on the mantra and just exhale and inhale air in the meantime.
- You can also practise movement meditation in which you have to move or practise postures with your body while having a steady and calm breath. This type of meditation is practised in the tradition of Yoga and Taichi.
