The meditation styles for health  

1)Breath-focused meditation (best all-around) 

Goal: train your nervous system to settle.  

• Sit comfortably 
• Breathe normally 
• Put attention on the breath 
• When your mind wanders (it will), return to breath 

Best for: stress, anxiety loops, sleep, cravings 

   

2) Body scan (best for relaxation + sleep) 

Goal: tell your body “you’re safe.”  

• Bring attention slowly from head → toes 
• Relax each area as you go 
• You’re not trying to “feel good,” just notice and
  soften 

Best for: sleep, tension, pain, trauma-held body stress 

   

3) Loving-kindness (best for mood + emotional healing) 

Goal: reduce internal threat and self-attack.

You repeat phrases like:  

• “May I be safe.” 
• “May I be healthy.” 
• “May I be at peace.” 

Best for: self-criticism, emotional distress, depression patterns
