Types of meditation:From the use of meditation U can employ the connection between the mind & the body to achieve specific developmental goals, meditation teachers classify meditation as focusing on four different ways:

Focused on Concentration- this means basically focusing Ur complete attention on one object only. For example, concentrating on the flame of a candle, or simply focusing on Ur breath.

Focused on Generation or Generative Meditation- This type of meditation helps U meditate to achieve a state of loving kindness by using Ur memory, Ur imagination & the sensations of Ur body.

Focused on Receptivity or Receptive Meditation- This means basically becoming receptive to any experience arising. An example of this is the zen meditation, zazen.

Focused on Reflection or Reflective Meditation- This meditation type involves constantly focusing on an object, but also being aware to whatever emotions, feelings & sensations come forth from the experience. Meditation on the qualities of the Buddha is a good example of this.
