FAQ

What are the main types of meditation?

Breath awareness, mantra, loving-kindness, body scan, visualization, Zen, TM, and more.

Do I need to try them all?

Not at all. Try 2–3 styles and see which one clicks. You’re not locked into one forever.

How do I know if a technique is right for me?

If it makes you feel calmer, more grounded, or simply curious — that’s a good sign.

Can I switch techniques later?

Of course. Your needs evolve — your practice can too.

Are some styles better than others?

No style is inherently better. It’s about what you’ll return to, not what’s most famous or ancient.
