What is Meditaiton Therapy? | Meditation Therapy

Mindfulness is empowering, restoring freedom and choice, while creating the right inner space that allows emotions to unfold and resolve at the core level. Mindfulness training stops you from being the victim of conditioned stress reactions, and puts you back in the driving seat, allowing you to control how you want to feel, rather than simply falling under the spell of your habitual reactivity.

Mindfulness Based Therapy has attracted considerable interest in the medical community for the management of depression and for stress management. In general these approaches use mindfulness to enhance relaxation and body centered awareness, which have a general beneficial effect. What makes MMT unique is that it applies mindfulness directly to emotional problems to facilitate transformation. MMT is also based on the core understanding that the path to the resolution to emotional suffering lies within, but is hindered by accumulated habitual reactivity.

During concentratinve meditation, attention is focused on a single sound, an object or one’s breath, to bring about a calm, tranquil mind. During mindfulness meditation, the mind becomes aware of but does not react to the wide variety of sensations, feelings, and images tied in with a current activity. Much research has been done on trasnscendental meditation.

In this space, an emotional complex will naturally begin to unfold and reveal an internal structure of subtle feelings, memories and experiential imagery. This natural unfolding of the internal structure of our emotions leads directly to Experiential Transformation and it is the consciousness illumination of the internal structure of difficult emotions that leads to their resolution. In effect, the psyche heals itself, rather than our trying to fix things externally. The more aware you become of the inner experiential structure of your suffering, the more you will experience beneficial change.
