A practical discussion about meditation––there are so many approaches. Do they all lead to the same place, generate the same affect? The answer is: no. Different practices and approaches can lead to very different results. In this podcast I introduce some key ideas to better understand meditation’s larger terrain and its many approaches.
There are essentially four categories of meditation. Practices that: 1. calm the mind 2. develop greater insight and awareness 3. accelerate growth, increase power, and capacity 4. awaken spiritual experience, devotion, love and connection to Source.
While there are common threads in all meditation practices, knowing the particular outcome of a specific practice can help you choose the best one for you at any given time. It's tempting to judge the value of a particular approach based on how you feel when you're doing it. A more meaningful way to determine the value of a particular practice is: How does it affect you. How does a particular practice help you show up most fully in the world?
