![10 different types of meditation-and which one is right for you Self-care can be a key strategy for getting through tough times, such as a global pandemic. Meditation is one practice that has been relied upon by people for centuries and across various cultures. Sunday Citizen compiled a list of 10 different types of meditation, using information from health and wellness sites, research studies, and more. One thing to remember when beginning to practice meditation is that mastery is not necessary right away. If you don't meditate, or only do so sporadically, any increase in frequency or duration could have a positive impact. Keep in mind, there is no one way to meditate. Those who are a bit type A may have trouble slowing down-for them, a meditation practice like kundalini or tai chi that integrates movement may be the ticket. Other types demand quiet and sitting still. All forms of meditation have benefits for mental and physical health. For those who need guidance, there's likely an app for that. Some are 100% free, while others may be subscription-based. Some apps don't stop at meditation, but also offer tips and tools for other ways of self-care. You can even connect with a Japanese monk via Zoom for a meditation session. Meditation may have started as early as 5000 B.C., but no matter how long, the practice has become more popular as people look for non-pharmaceutical ways to boost their mental health. Different variations on the practice have been developed throughout the world, including India, China, and Japan. Some are associated with spiritual practices including Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism, while others are secular. Over time, more people were exposed to the practice via the publishing of books including "Siddhartha," "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," and "The Dharma Bums." Researchers started exploring the impact of meditation on the brain in the '50s. Beginning in the late '70s, researchers noted that mindfulness meditation was an effective practice to help manage chronic disease. By the time Deepak Chopra opened his Center for Wellbeing in 1996, meditation was becoming mainstream.
