FOR WELL BEING OF HEALTH  




Mindfulness meditation is a type of meditation where the practitioner focuses their attention on the present moment and allows thoughts and feelings to come and go without judgment. It involves paying attention to one's breath, body sensations, thoughts, and emotions in a non-reactive and accepting manner. The goal of mindfulness meditation is to cultivate greater awareness and understanding of one's inner experience, reduce stress and improve overall well-being. This can be practiced through various forms such as sitting meditation, body scans, and mindful movement, and can be done for short periods of time throughout the day or as a longer practice session.

Loving-kindness meditation, also known as "Metta" meditation, is a type of meditation where the practitioner cultivates feelings of love, kindness, and compassion towards themselves and others. The meditation involves silently repeating phrases of well-wishing and sending feelings of kindness towards oneself, loved ones, friends, neutral persons, difficult persons, and all beings. This practice is intended to help the practitioner cultivate feelings of love, compassion, and empathy towards all beings, including themselves and others, and promote feelings of inner peace, happiness, and well-being. The meditation can be practiced while sitting quietly, with eyes closed or open, and can be done for short periods of time or as a longer practice session.
Vipassana meditation is a type of meditation originating from ancient Buddhist teachings that involves self-observation and introspection. The goal of Vipassana is to gain insights into the nature of reality and the workings of the mind and emotions. This is done through the practice of mindfulness and self-awareness, where the meditator focuses their attention on their breath, physical sensations, and mental states, observing them without judgment. Through this practice, the meditator can gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior, leading to greater wisdom and inner peace. Vipassana meditation is usually practiced in silent retreats or courses, with a daily schedule that includes several hours of meditation practice and group activities. The retreats can last anywhere from a few days to several months.
