How do you teach meditation?

Mettanando Bhikkhu (Thai Buddhist Monk) gives expert video advice on: How can meditation help with stress?; Can meditation help to relieve pain?; Do you need a mantra to meditate? and more...

The technique is comprised of three parts that I teach. Part one is very simple; I call this quiet observation. There's no mantra or ritualization at all. It Just consists of building up of self awareness that you become very sensitive to your own mental movement, mental phenomenon. Then by being quiet and peaceful, I introduce the second part. It is called cultivation of universal love. Love is a very strong feeling in all of us and when we chant love we feel happy and joyful. Now this technique magnified the energy of love in ourselves, and shares with everyone and everything in the whole universe. It is very sweet and it is very useful meditation. Then when the person becomes calm, we introduce the purification of the self. When the mediators see himself or herself very clearly and feel the energy inside and by the allocation or navigation of the energy path that could help to heal.
