A common type of calming meditation is visualization, in which you’ll focus on a peaceful scene that makes you feel calm and relaxed. During this type of meditation, you’ll use all your senses to imagine the scene, such as imagining yourself at the beach watching the sun rise or sitting in front of a fire with loved ones.

Another calming form of meditation is body-centered meditation, in which you’ll focus on the physical sensations you can feel throughout your entire body. This can include focusing on breathing, noticing thoughts and emotions that come up, or practicing mindfulness, which is the ability to be fully present in each moment.
