from 12 Minute Meditation

Have you ever wondered why there are so many varieties of meditation practices, and why some of them seem to contradict each other in approach, style, or even objective? In today's guided practice, meditation teacher Toby Sola walks us through three common types of meditation. Plus, he explains why the word "meditation" is very much like the word "sport"—and how all these different practices actually share the same overarching purpose. If you're new to meditation or curious about trying new approaches, you'll love this week's practice. Note that there are intentional pauses included in today's recording. If you'd like more time to practice the techniques outlined here, please feel free to pause the recording as you go along. If you'd like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week. There's still time to get in on some of our best Mother's Day deals!
