There are many types of meditations that can be performed. Different cultures and religious traditions engage in literally hundreds of types of various meditative practices. Different authorities on meditation have their own classification of the core types of meditations.

In our frantic modern world we often find ourselves having to deal with an overload of stress which can cause us to experience headaches, migraines, irritability, hyper-tension and sleepless nights. Some may even experience panic attacks, mood disorders, constantly feeling tired or run down, leaving one depressed and overwhelmed. If you have a tendency to constantly worry, this exhausting experience is further magnified.

In today’s goal-oriented society, excessive tension has become a “normal” state of being. Even as success gurus advocate ever higher performance standards, medical doctors and spiritual leaders warn us of the health damage from stress, and the loss of quality of life when we find ourselves sliding down a slippery slope to an increasingly stressful lifestyle. Our minds are constantly active, offering incessant commentary due to over stimulation from media, high levels of noise pollution in urban environments, and the constant activity of busy schedules. Light pollution from electric lighting and electronic media interfere with sleep, causes stress through chronic sleep deprivation. For so many of us living a modern stressful lifestyle -with our rational mind in overdrive – relaxing into a meditation can all too easily become yet another struggle, a difficult endeavor that seems all too easily to lead to just more frustration and stress. So just what is this state of meditation, which is so highly touted as being good for body, mind and spirit? And even more, how do we get there?

The clue to The Buddha’s blissful meditative state? The science provides the possible explanation as to why we feel the meditative bliss and the art, in the form of Buddha’s depiction, re-inforces the sense that the source of the bliss is the thousand-petalled lotus at the crown of the head.

Why should you meditate? Well, there are innumerable benefits of meditation. It may be hard for you to believe in the beginning, but mediation really has so many benefits.
