Popular Classes And Websites On Meditation

By Imelda Reid


When feeling on edge or stressed, one of the best things an individual can do to calm down is to meditate and reflect on life. Menopausal symptoms can also be eased through a regular regimen of meditation. Combining regular practice with breath work like that found in Kundalini Yoga can also provide a greater sense of balance to body, mind and spirit.

Different areas offer different opportunities in relation to classes, groups, meetings and services. In California, it is easy to find plenty of places to meditate. Whether the Redwood forest or San Francisco Bay, there is plenty of beauty in which to get lost and let the mind wander.

Some communities offer a number of options for classes and presentations. Others are too small for an organized community of any kind. It is for this reason it is as important to learn how to meditate at home as in a class or service.

Zen, a style of Buddhist tradition that might best be described by the Beatles' song, "Let It Be, " and others are some of the most common styles. Most often those who meditate on a regular basis are following the laws of Zen. Other forms of Buddhist philosophy and other religions associate dietary restrictions, practice and prayer. While loosely associated with Buddhism, a to meditate has no religious affiliation. To pray often suggests there is a higher power which can hear and provide answers to prayer.

Free information related to daily meditative practice, classes and other information is often available at a local library or bookstore bulletin board. A number of websites offer audio and visual programs with hypnotic sound and imagery. Many of these websites also promote and support various classes and circles which allow individuals to meet and meditate together.

These websites can also be beneficial in learning different practice styles. It is often good to browse a number of different ones before deciding which patterns might be best to meditate with based on current issues. Some are self-guided, while others take listeners or viewers or a guided journey.

The internet is a world of information and intellect. When these come together, the result is the many different websites which provide audio and visual meditative material. Each often has its own guided or self-guided routines complete with hypnotic imagery and associated music or sound. It is often good to peruse a variety of different websites. Most individuals will have a primary website and alternates between meditative materials during each session.

A number of websites offer free information, audio and visual programs. Others, depending on the length and style of practice and classes offered may charge a nominal fee. In most areas, classes and circles operate on a non-profit basis though still accept donations. Donations are often used for coffee, food, rental space, yoga mats or other items which are essential to a successful event.
