Learning how to meditate is one of the twelve steps recommended by
Alcoholics Anonymous for dealing with alcoholism and alcohol abuse. The
question arises: which type of meditation method is best?
The answer is individualistic. There are many types of meditation
methods, and though they all have the same similar end goal of creating
mental peace and physical bliss, they use different methods to get
there. Because each person is gifted with a different mental make-up
and psychology, the best type of meditation for each person is a highly
individualistic affair.
Many people actually turn to alcohol to drum out their thoughts and
stresses or feel "high," and are actually seeking the very same states
that meditation safely produces. Meditation is well recognized, by
spiritual traditions and modern science, as a way to give the thinking
mind a rest and take a deliberate break from the stream of thoughts
that constantly flow in and out of our minds. Most people who turned to
alcohol did not know how to meditate to achieve this result of emptying
suffering or stressful thoughts, and weren't aware that meditation
could help them access blissful states of well-being.
Meditation practice is a way of learning how to cultivate this state of
mental bliss and joy, which is gradually felt in the body as well as
the mind. Meditation produces mental and physical states that can
replace the sought-after mental numbing and physical bliss that
alcoholic users hope is produced by alcohol.
The actual number of different meditation practices in the world is
tremendous, but they all aim at calming the mind of wandering thoughts
through various different means. The meditation method that is "best"
for an individual is simply the one that works best in helping you
realize the same end goal.
