Meditatio can cover a broad spectrum of particularities.
To some,
Meditation is accomplished when in a reverie …
just by being in a garden or out in nature.
It can also be when you simply
put your monkey minds thoughts away and just…
Be.
You can just Be while riding a bike, swimming, kayaking, hiking
There are many types of walking meditations…
There are meditations just to reduce stress and or anxieties
However,
The only one and only True meditation practice
worth practicing for the rest of your life
is one in which one intends to take it to
the full fruition of Enlightenment.
This Ultimate Awakening
will offer the earnest aspirant all the benefits
of every imaginable type of meditation.
At first,
It’s true
Concentration is the first part.
There are basically 3 pillars or areas of… the Practice.
Spiritual philosophy includes a bit of Buddhist phycology
These are the things that one can learn with the conventional thinking mind.
Meditation – With the intention of training your mind to become ‘one-pointed…
To stay focused with the intended object of meditation…
Typically the breath.
Insight meditation … one Transcends the ego and goes beyond the mind.
After many months or years
the strong effort and diligence of focused concentration.
Will eventually transcend to an ‘effortless flow.
These “flow states”,
often called Jhana
is when one starts to let go and surrender the materialist
object of meditation
And then
Flow and float away with the objectless object of meditation.
This is somewhat like
The feeling of love, joy, bliss, some raptures
Once this occurs,
There seems to be no effort required.
There is also no thinking going on
And,
All references to there being a self
that we are all born and reinforced to be this imaginary ‘self
that we refer to ourselves as being… Us…
This mis-perception no longer is experienced.
Taken deeper
One becomes
Self-Realized… our higher Self.
This is the only form of meditation worth investing the rest your days with.
The Buddha advises:
by any skillful means…
Which means,
Any way and or any tradition or combination of all traditions
That brings you to these Insights
found in the deepest forms of meditations

a human can experience.
