5 ways to meditate

It's a common misconception that meditation entails sitting down on a bare floor or a special meditation pillow for hours. Actually, there are many different ways to meditate, from a 5-minute time-out in your office chair to a weekend-long silent retreat.

Grounding
No matter what style of mediation you choose, grounding is a part of it, but you can also do grounding in isolation.

Sitting Meditation
The most popular mediation technique remains sitting meditation, with many variations.

Recliner Chair Meditation
For those who find traditional sitting meditation uncomfortable, this method is an acceptable alternative.

Mantra Meditation
Chanting mantras is a classic meditation technique.

Cathartic Dancing Meditation
One of the more creative and energizing meditation techniques is cathartic dancing meditation, a style often seen in Sufi whirling or shamanic rituals.
