There is another type of meditation that should be mentioned because of its many benefits on your lifestyle as well as just how unique it is.

In the other meditations that we’ve selected to tell you about, your goal will be to use a mantra or a breathing focus to help you enter into a state of meditation.  But, that’s not necessarily the only method to do so.  In Mindfulness Meditation, which is also known as Vipassana, you don’t focus on something around you but rather on inside meditation.

In Mindfulness Meditation, you are not paying attention to the physical aspects of what is happening around you.  Instead, you are focusing on what is happening in the present moment, not the future or the past.  You will learn how to focus on what is happening right now, at this very second.

You’ll find that the Mindfulness Meditation is one that can help to turn the brain down to low.  If you are one that has constant thoughts racing through your head and often finds that there’s just too much noise happening in your brain at any time, then this type of meditation may be one of the best types for you.

In Mindfulness Meditation, you will not focus on any one thing.  You are not even going to look at this factor yet.  Instead, you are going to concentrate on the quality of your awareness. 

You will be what is called a “silent witness” which simply means that you need to be aware of what is happening around you at that very moment silently.  You are witnessing what’s happening around you. 

Don’t mistake this type of meditation for a mediation that allows you to be passive in what happens in your daily life.  Rather, Mindfulness Meditation helps you to stop and make decisions based on reality rather than making impulse decisions.

So, how do you do Mindfulness Meditation?  You may have heard of it before, actually.  There are two ways to do it.  One is informal.  The other is formal and a good example of this is through Yoga.
