We have summed up the best Meditation Techniques for beginners. When you first start Meditating, it is important to choose a simple technique in which the chance of external diversion is minimized. In the simplest techniques, we limit our focus to an object. This focus may be our breathing, a word that we repeat, our body, or an object that we look at. If you are in doubt, start with the Breathing Meditation. This Meditation is very suitable to be used later on as a basis for more advanced Meditations.
Concentration Meditation Techniques
 | Count your Breaths Meditation
We count our every breathing in and breathing out as another form of Meditation. We can do this exercise even when we are just walking. This exercise also helps us reduce stress from work or other forms of pressure and likewise, can give you a clear and peaceful mind.
|  | Mantra Meditation
In this kind of meditation, you can use any kind of mantra. Even those that you have read or one that you originally made can be used. A very positive mantra can be a really effective form of Meditation. A positive energy can give you a positive outlook in life.
|  | Flame Meditation
A kind of Meditation that uses any object to help one concentrate better by focusing only on that object. By doing so, you are more focused on that particular object, keeping you far away from any negative vibes as you dwell deeper and deeper.
|  | Bodyscan Meditation
Not only do we meditate using our mind but we also meditate to help our body relax. It can be done after different forms of relaxation exercises including yoga and stress management. We are able to be fully aware of our bodies needs thus helping us reduce any physical pain we experience.
| Insight Meditation
 | Follow your Breath Meditation
Another meditation wherein we try to focus with our breathing by following it. This exercise is a follow up to the Count Your Breathing Meditation. Here, we engage in a breathing exercise and a relaxation exercise as well. This exercise can help improve your breathing.
| Goal - directed Meditation Techniques
 | Relaxation through Visualization
Visualization can be one way of relaxing. Think about the cool breeze of the beach, the sunset, a very delicious mango shake or whatever you feel like thinking as long as it is positive. Not only will you feel relaxed but you will also be able to reduce tension and stress.
|  | Improve your Performances through Visualization
Visualization always has a positive effect especially when you add affirmative or encouraging words with it. A positive thinking will always lead to better performances. This section will be of great help to improve one's performances.
