20 Types of Meditation

Currently, the meditation I practice is Vipassana, 30-60 minutes a day.

I’ve tried several techniques, some of which are included in this post. Here’s a list of different meditation techniques, some of which may resonate with you. You can also change and try others throughout your life, as each experience you live will transform you, and at the same time, you will resonate with yourself in practicing different meditation techniques.
