What are the types of yoga meditation?

There are many types, methods, and objects of practice of yoga meditation. Generally speaking, yoga meditation can be performed in nature, or when there is a moon at night, you can meditate facing the moon, or light a candle in a dark room and meditate facing the candlelight, or simply close your eyes and practice meditation. In addition, some people listen to yoga music to practice meditation.

Yoga Voice Meditation. Among all the yoga meditation systems, none of them is as direct, time-tested or widely used as Yoga Voice Meditation. Yoga voice meditation can be practiced together with exercises that increase vital energy, or it can be practiced alone. In other words, one can first achieve control of the senses by manipulating and controlling the vital energy, and then begin to focus one's attention more closely on his yoga voice, or he can practice yoga voice meditation without considering his state of consciousness at the time. Such yogic sound meditation itself leads to withdrawal of the senses, concentration, dhyana and ultimately to the state of concentration.

Yoga sound meditation is also known as mantra meditation. The Sanskrit word "mantra" can be divided into two parts, namely "man" and "tra". "Man" means "mind" and "Te La" means "to lead away". Therefore, "Mantela" means a special group of sounds that can divert people's minds away from their various worldly thoughts, worries, desires, mental burdens, etc. By concentrating one's attention on one's yoga voice, one can gradually transcend ignorance. From this step, yoga meditation develops deeper, gradually evolves into perfect Zen, and finally enters a state of trance.

No matter which kind of yoga meditation practice we do, exercising is of great benefit to ourselves. From a self-perspective, the practice of yoga meditation will create a feeling of integration, tranquility and joy in our body and mind, and long-term practice will make our inner world calmer and less easily affected by the outside world.
