There are so many meditation methods that many people who want to learn to meditate, will not get any further than finding a list of the methods or techniques.

The reason for this is simple, when confronted with a list of over 100 meditation methods, which one do you choose?, which meditation method is right for me?. Now, I can’t answer that but what I can suggest is try one, if it doesn’t feel comfortable then try another one.

Most of the meditation methods have the same end in mind; they all want to help you find peace and serenity in your lives or help you achieve the goals that you set out for yourself, be it stopping smoking or drinking less alcohol. There is no one correct method; it’s all about what feels comfortable to you and what fits in with your life.
Most meditation methods fall into 2 basic categories:

Concentrative meditation – meaning to focus on a single image, sound, mantra or your own breathing. This is used to still the mind and allow a greater awareness and clarity of mind to emerge.
Mindful meditation – these methods do not focus on a single purpose; rather, you are aware of all thoughts, feelings, sounds, or images that pass through your mind. It is said to help you simply be aware of situations and thoughts rather than react to them, thus allowing you to deal with them in the best way.

I once read somewhere, “There are as many methods in which one can meditate as there are waves in the ocean” and when you are looking for a meditation method that suits you this can feel so true, however this free meditation course was designed with this in mind, it is mantra based and is ideal for beginners who need a step by step guide.

"In meditation, effort must be applied in a direction opposite to what we are used to. Our effort must be to relax ever more deeply. We must ultimately release the tension from both our muscles and our thoughts. When we relax so deeply that we are able to internalize the energy of the senses, the mind becomes focused and a tremendous flow of energy is awakened.... Meditation is a continuous process, and can be said to have three stages: relaxation, interiorization, and expansion." - John Novak
