I’ve been exploring different types of meditation. Zen (zazen) was something I started with and do daily. It's the simplest way to let thoughts pass in acceptance and find a point of focus like breathing. Another one I love are daily walks - a diff kind of mental switch off and clarity.
I grew up with spiritual meditation on bible verses, something I did during my teenage years. The one I could not do was object-focused meditation. I attended a retreat in India once, to an ashram in a French colonial place. It was beautiful, in a high spot with a perfect setting of sunlight striking in the middle but I could not find my center.
I am currently appreciating metta (loving - kindness) as it's likely where i am in my journey and current headspace of peace, self growth and love. It sets a foundation of compassion that overcomes inner conflict, which is crucial before extending that warmth and kindness to the world.
The meditation journey it interesting - for me what I love is emptying my brain and finding a deep sense of calmness and clarity, but I am still a beginner in this. I think different people have different ways of benefiting from it.
dtonon (nprofile…9wcq) has shared a complex book on it and always reminds me of different meditation practices at different points of my life this past year which I deeply appreciate although I am not at that level yet :)
Metta meditation
May I be filled with loving kindness
May I be well
May I be peaceful and at ease
May I be happy
