 Receptive
 Reflective
 Generative

6. Concentrative Meditation
 Assists with focusing the mind.
 This is done by focusing on the breath, image,
objective or sound (mantra) during the
meditation.
 This process allows the mind to achieve clarity
and awareness.
 Transcendental meditation (TM), based in the
Hindu tradition, is a form of concentrative
meditation.

7. Receptive Meditation
• Assists with becoming more fully
present in the moment.
• This is done by being mindful and
attentive to feelings, sensation,
thoughts, images, smells and
experiences without becoming
involved in judgment, reactions or
processes of the experience.
• This helps to gain a calmer, clearer
and more non-reactive state of
mind and being. Mindfulness
meditation, based on Buddhism, is
a form of receptive meditation.

8. Reflective Meditation
 Assists with investigating an idea in a
systematic way.
 Uses disciplined thinking and analysis to
reflect upon a compelling question,
challenge, idea or project.
 Reflects on a verse, a phrase or inspiring
idea.
 Brings wisdom and insight into all
aspects of our lives.

9. Reflective Meditation
As Albert Einstein has said,
“The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

10. Generative Meditation
 Assists in consciously cultivating and strengthening specific
qualities such as:
 Patience
 Love
 Appreciation
 Compassion
 Humility
 Gratitude
 Courage
 This form of meditation invites us to actively nurture these
strengths of character by thinking, speaking and acting as
though the quality is already fully present and alive within us.

14. Importance of Breath
For most meditative practices the
breath is very important because it is
connected to both the mind and the
body.
• If we are anxious, frightened or upset
our breath tends to be shallow,
irregular and quick.
• If we are relaxed, settled or calm, our
breath tends to be more slow, deep
and regular.

15.  Focusing the mind on the continuous
rhythm of inhalation and exhalation
provides a natural object of
meditation.
 As you focus your awareness on the
breath, your mind becomes absorbed
in the rhythm of inhalation and
exhalation.
 As a result, your breathing will
become slower and deeper, and the
mind becomes more tranquil and
aware.
