This course contains 5  'introductions' to 5 different styles of meditation: 
 
1. Mindfullness Meditation

In Mindfullness Meditation we learn how to pay attention to breath and the body and simply notice when the mind wanders from this task. When we pay attention to our breath, we are learning how to return to, and remain in, the present moment—to anchor ourselves in the here and now on purpose, without judgement. I find this the simplest and a very tangible way to help settle and calm the mind.

2. Mantra Meditation

Think of a Mantra as a word or a phrase you repeat during meditation as a tool to help release the mind. I have found over the years that some of my students find it easiest to concentrate when they work on affirming the same word or a simple sentence mentally or aloud again and again.

3. Elevated Emotion Meditation

Although this is technically not a type of meditation, I love using this technique to change my state. The concept of 'Elevated Emotions' (such as Joy, Awe, Love etc.) has been covered (and possibly even coined) by Joe Dispenza.

4. Yoga Nidra

Full disclosure - Yoga Nidra is technically not considered a meditation - it is a totally different yogic discipline.  With Yoga Nidra, you are lying down and the goal is to move into a deep state of conscious awareness sleep, which is a deeper state of relaxation than a meditative state

5. Loving Kindness Meditation

This is another popular meditation technique that can help reduce stress and help build strength from within through self-care, compassion and love. During loving kindness meditation, you focus benevolent and loving energy toward yourself and others.
