If you are into meditating, then you may have heard of Maui meditation.
However, it is also likely that all you know is the term.
While helpful, this type of meditation is also quite elusive.
It is difficult to learn anything about it.
In fact, research shows up very little information.
Needless to say, this makes it quite difficult to understand what it is, what it is for, what its purpose is, and what kind of activities it entails.
Hopefully, the following information will enlighten this special type of meditation for you, at least a little bit.
Maui style meditation seems to be a form of guided meditation.
Guided meditation helps when you are just beginning.
It can help you find your focus.
People usually have the most trouble finding their focus.
When they do find it, it can tend to slip away rather easily.
Most guided meditations come in the form of pre recorded messages.
They may be tapes, MP3s, or even videos.
They specialize in guiding you into a quiet, calm place.
For instance, sometimes they begin in a garden or park filled with the songs of birds or the gurgling of a stream.
Forest clearings are a popular choice as well, especially if there is water nearby.
Beaches may be the most popular destination - as is the case with Maui.
That form of meditation typically takes place on a beach setting, usually at sun rise or at sun set.
After you have reached the quiet place, the guide will lead you into noticing the smells, sensations, and sounds inherent the chosen location.
Thus, on a Maui beach, you will be guided to smell the salt water, to feel the spray of the ocean and the grains of sand, and to hear the birds, the seagulls, and the sound of the water slapping on the beach.
