How can I go about meditation? What are the different types and which are most effective?
Answer by Tommy H
It all depends what one wants to do with meditation. Meditation originates from religious practice, rooted from the Buddhist and Taoist teaching. Here is how I understand it. Secular yoga meditation provides a vehicle to calm down and letting go of some stress, slight increase of body immunity, and some benefit in treating some illness. When the yoga is practiced along with a philosophy, the person shows longevity while the body ages. Religious novice in an Eastern religion, casually observes the rituals, notes what others are doing, treats it as philosophy, and practices meditation. The sophomore rarely reads the scripture. He practices the meditation without full understanding what meditation does from the scripture: how to increase the energy, and how it affects the body. The junior reads the scripture and practices the meditation, but neither follows nor applies the teaching seriously, and often easily remains stagnant on a certain level in the belief. The senior reads the scripture, practices the meditation, applies the teaching daily, and helps other people along, improves and raises his moral characters, and works hard moving to higher level until enlightenment occurs. He likes to meditate for long time. He looks younger and very healthy, and is full of energy. Not relating to Buddhism, Falun Gong is a unique Buddhist School. Falun Gong is based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong consists of five sets of powerful exercises. Falun Gong, Tibetans, Buddhists, and Christians have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China. Here are some articles about the benefit in practice of Falun Gong meditation. http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/6-6-19/42960.html http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/6-5-13/41456.html http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/download/publications/health_index.html
