Active meditation, sometimes called moving meditation, is easier to learn, but just as powerful as the Eastern techniques you may be more familiar with. When practicing active meditation you will chose a simple movement, like coloring, drawing, or even walking, to give you stronger focus. The repetitive motions act as a constant reminder allowing you to easily shift your attention back to the meditation, back to the moment, before any fleeting thoughts take hold.

Meditation Cushions

If you hear the words "Meditation Cushions" and begin to laugh at how ridiculous this is as well as a waste of money, then you are obviously oblivious to the entire concept of meditation. For most practitioners of the ancient arts of meditation, these cushions are not a luxury, but a necessary tool. Consider the bicyclist. How well would his practice of riding go without a seat? Meditation cushions go along those same lines of logic.

The overall intent of the practice of Yoga, Pilates, and Buddhist Meditation is to find a mental, emotional, and physical place of peace.

Color Meditation

You are what you eat, and you are what you think, but do you know that you are also the color that you choose? The fact that colors have psychological significance and that meditating on them can heal old, emotional wounds is the basis of Dr. John Diamond's breakthrough in Meditative therapy—the Diamond Color Meditation. Working with Dr. Max Luscher and the Luscher Color Schematics, Dr. Diamond has produced a meditation that allows us to access the healing energies we need at the unconscious level.  Dr. Diamond is a pioneering figure in alternative and holistic medicine. He began his career in psychiatry, but expanded into holistic medicine.  ...continue
