This article follows my introductory article: Meditation Explainer: the What, Why & How of Meditating. There is some overlap between the end of that article and the start of this article.

In the introductory article, I identified 3 Forms of Meditation:
— [1] Self Meditations — meditating independently of any external influences
— [2] Guided Meditations — meditating while listening to an external source
— [3] Active Meditations — physically participating in an activity

Each of these Forms has 3 Types, for a total of 9 Types (see my personal list below for those). The What, Why & How article describes each of the 9 types in a general overview.
