Finding Inner Calm: My Personal Meditation Journey"(Loh #213)

Mindfulness and meditation are great practices that many people find beneficial. Personally I prefer meditation.

One method I use frequently is focused attention meditation, where I concentrate on a single point of focus, such as breath, a mantra, or an object. This technique helps to train the mind to stay present and reduces distractions. When thoughts wander, which is natural, practitioners gently bring their attention back to their point of focus. This practice can enhance concentration and promote a sense of calm.

Another method I use is body scan meditation, which involves paying attention to different parts of the body, often starting from the toes and moving up to the head. This method encourages relaxation and helps me more aware of physical sensations, which can be particularly useful for stress relief.

Guided meditation is also one method I use, where I listen to a recorded guide or attend a class led by an instructor. This method is helpful for me as it provides direction and structure, making it easier to stay engaged in the practice.

Ultimately, the best technique can vary from person to person. Some times I prefer the simplicity of breath-focused meditation, while at times I also enjoy the immersive experience of guided practices. It can be helpful to experiment with different methods to find what resonates most with me.The key is consistency and finding a practice that fits into my lifestyle.
