Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation originates from Buddhist teachings and is the most popular meditation technique in the West.

In mindfulness meditation, you pay attention to your thoughts as they pass through your mind. You don’t judge the thoughts or become involved with them. You simply observe and take note of any patterns. This practice combines concentration with awareness. You may find it helpful to focus on an object or your breath while you observe any bodily sensations, thoughts, or feelings.

This type of meditation is good for people who don’t have a teacher to guide them, as it can be easily practised alone.

In this form of meditation, you have to become a peaceful spectator of your thoughts to let them evolve, diving deeper into your thoughts, conversations or incidents with other people. The advantages are generally reaped later, after practising it a few times. It helps people to get rid of eating and sleeping disorders and head towards a healthier lifestyle.
