Active or passive—where do you want to begin?
You do not need to learn everything at once. Active meditations first move the body and energy; passive meditations enter more directly through breath, acceptance, and witnessing.

Let the body, breath, voice or emotions move fully first: dance, shake, laugh, hum or chant. Then enter stillness and witnessing.

A sister method to Dynamic Meditation. The point is not to manufacture shaking, but to allow it to happen so the body can move from rigidity into flow.

During activity, let body, mind, and heart become one. When the 'runner' disappears and only running remains, movement itself can become meditation.

Interfere less and let things happen: sit, lie, breathe, listen, look within, or bring awareness into ordinary moments.
Smoking with Awareness
Smoking is used to illustrate 'de-automatization.' It does not encourage anyone to begin smoking; it asks an existing mechanical habit to be slowed down and seen clearly.
Enter Practice
Vipassana: Sitting
Use natural breathing as the doorway, primarily watching the rise and fall of the abdomen. When thought, feeling, or sound appears, include that too in awareness.
Enter Practice
Vipassana: Walking
Walk slowly and notice the feeling of each step meeting the ground. Do not force concentration; simply notice when attention has moved away.
Enter Practice
Anapanasati Yoga Meditation
Buddha used natural breathing as an entrance into awareness: do not force the breath; stay with each inhalation and exhalation, and let awareness gradually include sounds and the whole of existence.

Watch the Gap in the Breath
Do not change the breath. Follow inhalation and exhalation, and notice the very brief natural gap between them.
Enter Practice
Watch the Gap in the Marketplace
Carry awareness of the gap in the breath into eating, walking, working, and bedtime. Action continues while the center remains witnessing.
Enter Practice
Awareness in Dreams
At the edge of sleep, keep a thread of awareness of breathing and inner sensation, so that dreaming and knowing that dreaming is happening gradually become distinct.

Enter Practice
Centering in the Heart
When touching a person, tree, flower, or the earth, do not touch only with the hand; feel the hand as an extension of the heart.
Enter Practice
Atisha's Heart Meditation
Practice compassion through the breath: on the in-breath, make space for suffering; on the out-breath, share joy and blessings.
Enter PracticeBegin with Yourself
Before extending compassion to the whole world, begin with your own pain instead of escaping your own wounds.
Enter Practice
Find the True Source
When joy, anger, or sadness appears, do not look only at the outer cause; turn inward and find the place from which the feeling is actually arising.
Enter PracticeThe Center of the Whirlwind
Neither suppress the emotion nor dump it on others. Let it be expressed in a safe space while remembering that there is a center watching it.
Enter Practice
Feel 'I Am'
Do not turn 'I am' into a sentence. While walking, touching, or looking at a tree, directly feel that you are existing.
Enter Practice
Who Am I?
Keep asking 'Who am I?' without accepting the mind's identity-based answers; let the question take the mind toward silence.

Reach the Center of Being
While seeing an object, also be aware of who is seeing. Let the known and the knower be present together; the third point—witnessing—can then appear naturally.
Enter Practice
Seeing Within
Closing the eyes is not only shutting out the outer world; let inner images also become quiet until attention begins to move inward.
Enter Practice
See as a Whole
When looking at an object, do not move from part to part. See it as one whole while temporarily dropping analysis of material, name, and value.

In a moonless or deeply dark setting, keep the eyes open and look into real darkness, allowing it to enter you rather than creating mental imagery.
Enter Practice
Bring Out the Inner Darkness

Merge into the Clear Sky
Look into a cloudless, limitless sky. Do not think about the sky; let yourself dissolve into its clarity and boundlessness.

Include Everything

Meditation on an Airplane
Use the height and openness of the sky to explore the sense of your body's boundaries expanding, until you merge with the spaciousness of the sky.
Enter Practice
Feel the Absence of Things
Look at a tree, flower, or person with full awareness, then gradually feel the 'absence' after the object is gone while awareness remains.
Enter Practice
Hollow Bamboo
Sit like a hollow bamboo: the form of the body is present, while inside there is emptiness. Relax and wait without demanding that anything happen.
Enter Practice
Enter Death
Treat death as part of the process of life; through complete exhalation, relaxation, and witnessing, explore the quality of letting go.
Enter Practice
Celebrate Death
When life is truly lived, death need not be seen only as disaster; the practice is to include both living and dying in witnessing.
Enter Practice
Discover the Witness
Bring attention to the space between the eyebrows and let thoughts pass like images on a screen; stop becoming one with every thought.
