If you’re at all familiar with meditation then you know that the types of meditation are endless and the benefits are endless too!

Let me refresh your memory with some of the more common types of meditation:

* Transcendental Meditation (otherwise known as TM)
* Buddhist Meditation
* Chakra Meditation
* Healing Meditation
* Guided Meditation

Now have you ever heard PDM?

“PD What?” You’re asking yourself?

PDM = Public Display of Meditation

Max Simon, a meditation guru and entrepreneur based out of L.A., has started the movement of Public Displays of Meditation. A public display of meditation is exactly what it sounds like…meditating in a public location. Max gathers groups of people and heads out onto the streets of whatever city he’s in. They find the busiest location possible, sit down and start meditating when Max gives them the sign.

You’re probably wondering what the point of meditating in a busy place is? And don’t people usually meditate in quiet , private places?

Yes, meditating in a public place automatically puts you in a position with more distractions. The cool thing is that having more outside distractions often encourages people to go deeper into their meditation practice. Rather than focusing on the outer world, people focus on the inner self and become deeply absorbed in their practice. And of course you’ll still reap all the benefits of meditation when you engage in PDM’s!
