Each meditation session can be tailored to one’s goals and needs. The duration varies between 30 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the type of meditation selected. Below, you will find a brief description of mindfulness meditations. (There are many other variations and techniques available to explore and practice).

Breath Awareness Meditation: In this meditation, the breath serves as the primary object of attention. We focus our awareness on the natural rhythm of the breath, observing the sensations of the breath as it enters and leaves the body. Whenever the mind wanders, we gently bring our attention back to the breath, cultivating present-moment awareness and deepening concentration

Loving-Kindness Meditation: Also known as Metta meditation, this practice involves generating and extending feelings of love, kindness, and compassion towards oneself and others. We typically start by acknowledging and deepening a sense of self-love and kindness to our spirit, repeating positive affirmations or phrases, all the while being mindful of our breathing and concentration. We then extend these affirmations to loved ones, acquaintances, and even challenging individuals in our lives, cultivating a sense of connectedness, empathy, and goodwill.

Body Scan Meditation: This type of meditation involves bringing focused attention to different parts of the body, systematically scanning from head to toe or vice versa. The purpose is to cultivate awareness of bodily sensations, release tension, and promote relaxation. Practitioners typically bring non-judgmental attention to each body part, noticing sensations, and letting go of any physical or mental tension they may encounter. Meditation sessions may be enhanced w by including sounds that produce vibrations that travel through the body in a soothing, healing motion that can be akin to an internal massage.
