5 Meditation Practices For Beginners 🧘🏾‍♂️

Nov 19, 2022

Nine years ago, after reading a few personal development books, I was sold on the benefits of meditation on our mind, body, and overall success.

But when I started meditation, it was not as easy as you would think it looked.

So after a few failed attempts, I gave up on my meditation practice, concluding it was not for me!

Then something changed two years ago!

I was going through some stress and anxiety and could not sleep or concentrate.

I turned to meditation as medication for this problem.

I experimented with several different meditation styles and methods. Some worked well, and a lot didn't.

Here is the list of mediation that I still practice and that works for me:

6 Phase Meditation ⏱️ ~16 to 20 mins
1. In this meditation, you welcome your thought and feelings instead of struggling to avoid them.
2. For: Positivity, Happiness, Motivation.
3. Suggested Time: Morning or Evening.
Daily Calm Meditation ⏱️ 10 mins
1. Daily guided meditation with a reflection on a positive mindset and message.
2. For: Relaxation, Positivity, Spiritual Learning.
3. Suggested Time: Morning.
Come to Your Senses Meditation ⏱️ ~7 mins
1. It focuses on activating all senses: smell, taste, sight, touch, sound, and intuitions.
2. For: Relaxation, Focus.
3. Suggested Time: Anytime.
4-7-8 Breath Meditation ⏱️ ~2 to 10 mins
1. Simple breath meditation with timed inhaling, exhaling, and holding.
2. For: Stability, Concentration, Relaxation.
3. Suggested Time: Anytime.
Isha Kriya Meditation ⏱️ ~12 to 20 mins
1. It's a free guided meditation focusing on spiritual learning by Sadhguru. I also practice Shabhavi Mahamudra Kriya, which is Yoga+Meditation ~60 mins but to practice this meditation, you need training.
2. For: Spiritual, Health, Emotional Stability.
3. Suggested Time: Anytime.
