Meditation Teacher Training - Types of Meditation For Different Purposes Part 1

Lots of people did the meditation, but unfortunately they have not reached their goal purposes. If they want to reach their calming purpose, they have to do the calming meditation. If they want to reach their love purpose, they have to do the love meditation.

There are 7 (seven) types meditation for different purposes. In this first part, I will tell you three of them. Here they are:

1. Zen or Zazen (For Detachment, Peace and Awareness)
It is the easiest & the most widely practiced meditation type. All you have to do in Zazen are sitting crossed leg with eyes slightly open. If you do not know which one to try or best suit you, Zazen must be your perfect choice. Zazen will help you develop calm and give you strength for your stressful events. This will make you wise, spontaneous joy and compassionate of human being.

2. So Hum Mantra (For Compassion, Love & Forgiveness)
So Hum Mantra is a brilliant option to heal the heart including anger, suffer, hate, depression, bitterness, loneliness, and other negative feeling. All you have to do in this meditation is simply say the So Hum Mantra silently and it will help you to help the negative feeling flow out.

3. Trataka or Candle Flame Gazing (For Mental Focus & Concentration)
All you have to do in Trataka is just simply focus your concentration for a candle flame in the darkened room and then, concentrate on the after image that leaves behind when you closed your eyes.

Trataka is very effective to developing your concentration and it also helps you to give inner peace and calm your mind down.
