Learning Meditation: Go on Retreat

John Porter, an ad executive from San Francisco, had been around the globe to exotic locations and often stayed in posh resorts. Yet, while he was gearing up for his 2005 trip, he felt a strong desire to experience something different -- something more meaningful. His deeper journey led him on a week-long sojourn to a meditation retreat on Scotland's Holy Isle. There, John took courses to help him learn meditation practice, which he still uses almost five years later.

Travel and Leisure Magazine lately ranked their top ten globalretreats to learn meditation. At the top of their list was the Himalayan Ananda, a stunning 100-acre property in Uttaranchal, India, which has sweeping views of the the temple villages of Hardiwar and Rishikesh, the Ganges River and the Himalayan foothills. Facilities incorporate a 21,000-square-foot spa, meditation and yoga pavilions, a tea lounge, an antique billiards room and the former maharajah's palace.

Here, folks will receive one-on-one guided meditation customized to their personal needs. Stretching, Buddhist meditation teachings, yoga and breathing techniques are taught in hour long classes throughout the day. This center attracts all kinds of people, including quite a few luxury travelers who have never been to a spiritual retreat before.

Another place to learn meditation is the White Cloud Sanctuary in Santa Ana, Costa Rica. Just west of the San José capital, you'll stay in a one-person tile-roofed casita with its own kitchen, bathroom and living area, while enjoying breathtaking mountain views. This quaint 13-acre property amid the jungle mountainside can only take one person at a time, so you'll be completely alone in your rigorous study of Tai Chi and QiGong meditation. When you're not meditating, you can take a walk through organic vegetable gardens, horse farms and groves of mango, banana and papaya trees. Meals aren't included with this program, but you can purchase healthy food at the lodge.

The Osho Meditation Resort is situated amid man-made, black, futuristic pyramid structures just outside Mumbai, India. This 40-acre campus offers many unique features in addition to its traditional zen gardens, such as an enormous meditation auditorium and seminar center, tennis courts, a mini-mall and even a nightclub! You'll find the traditional silent meditation methods here, but you'll also be treated with a number of meditative dancing, whirling, power-breathing and mantra chants as well. Guests stay in one of 60 minimalist double rooms, which appear hotel-like... save for the absence of televisions. While you learn meditation, you'll wear a deep red robe to "add to the collective meditative energy."

In today's stress filled society, Zen meditation techniques might be just what you need to manage your life more effectively. Learn more about how meditation can calm and focus your mind by visiting Meditation Techniques.
