Focused Meditation

Focused meditation involves concentration using any of the five senses. For example, you can focus on something internal, like your breath, or you can bring in external influences to help focus your attention. Try counting mala beads, listening to a gong, or staring at a candle flame.

This practice may be simple in theory, but it can be difficult for beginners to hold their focus for longer than a few minutes at first. If your mind does wander, it’s important to come back to the practice and refocus.

As the name suggests, this practice is ideal for anyone who requires additional focus in their life.

In this sort of meditation, the person has to focus on a particular object in order to refrain from getting carried away with past thoughts or incidents and experience everything else. It doesn’t allow to think but to experience. This type of meditation leads to reduced stress, improved memory, etc.
