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.
