Meditations for mental health

Find your favourite meditations for mental health as a journey to explore, experience and enjoy

Meditation is key for mental health and I think it should be part of the curriculum in school as one of the main life skills. Unfortunately, lots of people have never been taught how to meditate and when you want to start, it can be very daunting. Considering the large number of different meditations on offer. Meditation is a personal practice and it is important to find the ones that suit you best. It could be the ‘topic’, voice, music, duration, visuals or anything else that makes you love a particular one or hate it.

This blog is to help you find your favourites, based on my own ones.

Discover:

  • What are the differences?
  • What works best for me?
  • Where do I find them?

I have compiled a list with 15 meditations I personally enjoy very much and I am sharing these with you to help you to discover which type or which meditator or which duration works best for you at this moment in time.

Commit yourself to 15 days of daily practice, so you give yourself the opportunity to notice the differences ‘before and after’.

Make note of the date and time, then add your comments so you can refer back to your earlier experiences. Keep using the meditations you enjoy most. Your practice needs to be a pleasure, not a chore 😊 but keep exploring and trying out new ones. That way it stays exciting, you feed your curiosity and you develop your skills.
