One of the Biggest Breakthroughs in the Human Mind
Post contributed by Mindvalley
Did you know not all meditations are created equal, although all provide some benefit to your mental state and life. If you are not already meditating and learning to control your random often negative thought patterns, living in the past and feeling overwhelm you are slowing slipping. Everyone from global CEO’s, to world-class athletes, musicians and business professionals, as well as, parents, schools and kids are leveraging meditation in their lives.
Below is an overview of the seven types of meditation and a video on the power of intuition from Mindvalley, the originator of this post. So take some time today and meditate… your mind and future self will thank you. Enjoy.
The 7 TYPES OF MEDITATION
1. Creative Visualization
Commonly used to visualize goals and scientifically validated for performance improvements in sports.
2. Directed Healing
Can be used for energy work. Doctors sometimes call this ‘imagery therapy’.
3. Intuitive Meditation
For tapping into intuition/inspiration. This is often about entering theta levels of mind and drifting off into semi-sleep to access intuitive thoughts.
4. Shadow Work
For healing past issues, forgiveness and inner-conflicts.
5. Connection Meditation
For connection between two or more people, in compassion or for connection to higher power (unification).
6. Re-Programming
Used for programming past beliefs or breaking undated behaviors. Many personal growth meditations fall here.
7. Passive Meditation
Breathwork or focused breathing. Clearing the mind. More hermetic and eastern practices.
Bonus: Delta Level Access
This is a more controversial meditation technique designed to tap into specific states of mind accessible only during sleep. Unlike the 7 other techniques above - this has not yet been validated by any science and thus we are asking participants to have an open mind when approaching this.
