Meditation Teacher Training – Types of Meditation For Different Purposes Part 1
Sep 30th
Lots of people did the meditation, but unfortunately they have not reached their goal purposes. If they want to reach their calming purpose, they have to do the calming meditation. If they want to reach their love purpose, they have to do the love meditation.
There are 7 (seven) types meditation for different purposes. In this first part, I will tell you three of them. Here they are:
1. Zen or Zazen (For Detachment, Peace and Awareness)
It is the easiest & the most widely practiced meditation type. All you have to do in Zazen are sitting crossed leg with eyes slightly open. If you do not know which one to try or best suit you, Zazen must be your perfect choice. Zazen will help you develop calm and give you strength for your stressful events. This will make you wise, spontaneous joy and compassionate of human being.
2. So Hum Mantra (For Compassion, Love & Forgiveness)
So Hum Mantra is a brilliant option to heal the heart including anger, suffer, hate, depression, bitterness, loneliness, and other negative feeling. All you have to do in this meditation is simply say the So Hum Mantra silently and it will help you to help the negative feeling flow out.
3. Trataka or Candle Flame Gazing (For Mental Focus & Concentration)
All you have to do in Trataka is just simply focus your concentration for a candle flame in the darkened room and then, concentrate on the after image that leaves behind when you closed your eyes.
Trataka is very effective to developing your concentration and it also helps you to give inner peace and calm your mind down.

1. Knowing well what you are you seeking with the meditation.
Is it about to get enlightenment? Is it about to improve your health? It is about to find peace and love? Or is it just for relaxation? You have to decide what your purposes are.
2. Pick the types meditation that best suit you and help you to reach your purposes.
For example, if you only need some relaxation, Zen is the best choice. If you want to reach your love and compassion goals, Sa Ta Na Ma mantra will do you well. You have to choose the specific types for your specific goals. The more specific you choose, the faster you reach your objectives. You can take a look at my other articles that discuss about 7 types meditation for different purposes.
3. Choose which level types meditation that you need to reach your goals.
If you have a simple problem with health such as influenza, you have to do the basic level type of Pranayama. If you have a bigger problem with health such as weeks of fewer, the intermediate level type of Pranayama, and the other hands, if you want to heal your cancer or huge health problem, you do the advance level of Pranayama.
4. Know how long the meditation time required.
For example, if you do the Trataka, the minimum time is for 5 minutes and the maximum time is for 1 hour. You have to keep this rule, because there will be no effect if you it under or over the time required.
5. Find a good meditation teacher.
Not to mention because nowadays when yoga and meditation is in high demand, people starting claim to be a yoga or meditation teacher. A good meditation teacher have to know the basic step, know the types, know completely the whole level of (basic, intermediate, and advance) including the time required in meditation, and for the complete prove, they must have a meditation certification.
Thank you for reading, hope this article will help you to guide you to find peace, enlightenment, and love.
