Discussion
Which of the following types of alternative therapy is also known as mindfulness-based meditation, where there is no fixed object or thought to hold the attention?
Answer: C
Vipassana dhyan, a mindfulness-based meditation, is the alternative therapy in which there is no fixed object or thought on which to hold the attention. The practitioner observes bodily sensations and thoughts as they arise. Sudarshan Kriya is a breathing practice, Kundalini Yoga uses postures, breath and chanting, and Brahmari is a humming breath exercise, so each has a fixed object of focus.
Vipassana, meaning insight, is an old Buddhist method that S. N. Goenka popularised, and it is practised by watching sensations, without a mantra.
