Meditation is a process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts. You can use the practice of meditation to increase awareness of yourself and your surroundings.
Furthermore, meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an alpha state which promotes healing. It cleanses and nourishes you from within and calms you, whenever you feel unstable, overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down.
Here are 15 Different Types Of Meditation You Can Use To Balance Your Hormones And Relieve Anxiety:
#1 Mindfulness Meditation - it is one the most powerful and alternative meditation techniques, that emphasizes on cultivating a highly receptive mindful attention toward any objects or action within your sphere of influence. It is a simple method to reduce anxiety, depression, and perceived distress.
You require sitting with crossed legs, a straight back and a willingness to be honest with yourself. The focus of mindfulness meditation is your breathing. Whenever you find your thoughts wandering, you just notice them and then return your focus to your breath.
#2 Zen Meditation - Zen is also known as Zazen, that means “seated meditation.” It comes from Buddhism, that is more of a philosophy than a religion.
Zen meditation can help combat stress, helps with chronic pain, fosters physical health, can make you sleep better, be more peaceful and more present.
#3 Founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, transcendental meditation is the most studied type by scientists. It was made popular by celebrities, like the Beatles. Transcendental meditation is by far the most popular type of meditation with about 5 million practitioners worldwide.
#4 Vipassana Meditation - it means one can see things as they are. This practice is based on self-observation, and by observing the variants of the mind, a person can take control over their mind.
#5 Gazing Meditation (Trataka) — fixing the gaze on an external object, typically a candle, image or a symbol. Trataka meditation is done with eyes open, and then with eyes closed, to train both the concentration and visualization powers of the mind.
#6 Metta Meditation (Loving-Kindness) - this is a type of meditation which involves cultivating unconditional kindness and love towards other human beings. The practice of this meditation is derived from Theravada Buddhism and is occasionally referred to as “compassion” meditation.

#8 Yoga Nidra - it is the Sanskrit phrase for yogic sleep. This type of meditation is done lying down or in a reclined position, and although this may look like a nap, you are actually fully conscious during the meditation practice.
#9 Vajrayana Meditation - This is a practice known as “tantric Buddhism” and incorporates the Lama and Guru yoga. Vajrayana meditation is considered a complex form of meditation which has continued to evolve in the Buddhist tradition.
#10 Spiritual Meditation -it is for people who regularly participate in prayer, as it's based on communicating with God. Just like the other styles of meditation, you must become calm and then start to focus on a question or problem you might have.
#11 Qi Gong meditation - this type of meditation is preferred by many because it improves posture, respiration, and the ability to relax with greater ease. It is one of the oldest forms of meditation and derives from ancient Chinese society.
#12 Primordial Sound Meditation - it is actually a mantra-based meditation technique rooted in the Vedic tradition of India. David Simon and Deepak Chopra revived this practice at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing and created a mantra-based meditation program anyone can practice.
#13 Dzogchen Meditation - it is a form of Tantric meditation that asks you to be aware of everything. This type of meditation is practiced with open eyes and one must avoid labeling feelings, thoughts, or sensations.
#14 Kriya Yoga Meditation — it is a set of breathing and meditation exercises taught by Paramahamsa Yogananda. This is more suited for people who have a devotional temperament, and are seeking the spiritual aspects of meditation.
