There are so many forms of meditation it would take up half this article to list the names. But insight meditation is actually one of the easiest forms of meditations that you can do. This is a great meditation to teach to beginners or for anyone just starting out to use. It’s so simple because all you do is meditate in silence concentrating on nothing but your breathing.
