What’s So Different About Group Meditation? | New Age Meditation Techniques

Is Group Meditation for you?

The answer is that this is a personal practice and only you can determine if you enjoy group meditations or not!

Every individual has personal preferences and everyone meditates for their own unique reason. Why have you chosen to meditate and what do you hope to achieve from your experiences? Answering these two simple questions might already help you to determine if group meditation is for you.

Question: What did you like about your Group Meditation experience?

What I liked was that there was a guru taking us through the whole meditation and she was awesome at setting the pace of the whole thing, observing us and if for example somebody got emotional she would quickly say something like “it’s ok to shed some tears if you feel you have to”. Also when you feel that there are so many people with you doing it, it helps you concentrate and you feel the great energy in the whole room

Question: How was your personal meditation experience different in a group vs. when you meditate in private at home?

My personal meditation is different in a way that I can decide how fast/slow I want to go with it. I decide what I want to do when I reach the deep state and I allow things to come. In a group guided meditation you accept that the guru takes you on that journey and you listen to his/her instructions.

Question: Do your prefer private or group meditations?Is group meditation something you would recommend to others?

I prefer private meditations simply because I like to meditate in my own way, but I would strongly recommend it to anyone who has problems with what to do next or what to visualize next or when someone simply wants to do it with others because it gives you so much energy. After group meditation there is a moment when people can share their experiences and that’s something you don’t get when you do it on your own. Sometimes there are feelings or thoughts that come that you don’t know how to explain and group mediation let’s you see that there are people who go through exactly the same and your guru gives you tips or explains what happened.

I’ve also experienced a couple of group meditations and I think that they’re great to do, just not all the time! I still love my personal and private sessions, but there are many benefits to be sought from a group meditation experience.
