Online Meditation | Mindfulness-Based Therapy

On the United We Care mental health platform, you can find certified meditation counselors and mindfulness-based therapists who are experts in applying the concepts of meditation and mindfulness for better mental well-being.

What is Meditation?

 

Meditation is the practice of using a technique (called meditation technique) to focus the mind on a particular activity, thought or object to achieve clarity, increase awareness and induce a state of calm and peace.

Why Meditation Is Important


The purpose of meditation is to detach a person from his/her existing situation, increase awareness and bring mindful relaxation.

Benefits of Meditation


There are many benefits of meditation:

  • Keeps the mind stress-free
  • Reduces aging effects
  • Increases attention span
  • Increases immunity
  • Improves metabolism
  • Helps with weight loss
  • Improves the quality of sleep
  • Increases gratitude and optimism

Types of Mental Health Issues Treated with Meditation


Experts use meditation as a tool to cope with stress and various psychological conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). Physical manifestations such as irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress disorder are also believed to be relieved with daily meditation practice.

Mentally, meditation silences noisy stress-induced thoughts and feelings. Meditation teaches how to deal with negative emotions, to accept them and become more emotionally resilient. It guides us to cultivate a deep state of relaxation and tranquility – allowing your attention to become focused and eliminating the crowding of emotions. 

Types of Meditation


There are 9 types of meditation techniques:

  • Visualization Meditation
  • Loving-Kindness Meditation
  • Mindfulness Meditation
  • Body Scan Meditation or Progressive Relaxation Meditation
  • Vipassana Meditation
  • Transcendental Meditation
  • Breath Awareness Meditation
  • Chakra Meditation
  • Mantra Meditation

Combining Meditation with Therapy

 
Although meditation is significantly different from psychotherapy in nature, the integration of mindfulness, meditation and psychotherapy can be the key to live a healthy and prosperous life.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy


Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale, is primarily derived from the earlier works of Teasdale, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Phillip Barnard. MBCT is a type of psychotherapy which is a combination of cognitive therapy and meditation strategies. It help individuals better understand and manage their thoughts and emotions in order to achieve relief from feelings of distress.

Minfulness-Based Stress Reduction


Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a healing approach that combines meditation and yoga. Developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in the 1970s, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction focuses on unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to increase stress that undermine mental and physiological health.
