In this video I describe meditation, focusing on two types of practices: focused awareness meditation and mindfulness meditation. Focused awareness involves maintaining fixed attention on a particular object, sound, or mantra, while mindfulness allows attention to move freely without allowing thoughts to become attached to any particular focus. Both types involve a state of relaxation that can produce physiological changes that Herbert Benson refers to as the “relaxation response”. Finally I provide a few tips for how to get started with meditation.
