Meditation & Creative Visualisations
Mindfulness: Mindfulness involves being fully present and aware in the moment, without judgment. It's a practice of paying deliberate attention to your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the environment. Mindfulness can be incorporated into daily activities like walking, eating, or even just breathing. Its primary focus is on maintaining awareness and acceptance of the present moment.
Meditation: Meditation is a broader term that encompasses various techniques aimed at achieving a state of mental clarity, relaxation, and heightened awareness. While mindfulness can be considered a type of meditation, meditation often involves setting aside dedicated time to cultivate specific qualities or states of mind. This can include focusing on the breath, practicing loving-kindness, or engaging in guided visualizations.
Zen Meditation: Often involves focusing on the breath or a koan (a paradoxical statement or question) to achieve a sense of "oneness" and presence.
Vedic Meditation: Rooted in the Vedic traditions, this form of meditation seeks to raise spiritual energy and connect with a higher consciousness or Divine source.
Guided Visualizations: These involve following a mental narrative or imagery provided by a guide or instructor, with the intention of promoting healing, self-discovery, and positive emotions.
