Compare and contrast focused attention meditation and open monitoring meditation

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Both are forms of meditation. Focused attention involves directing your attention to one thing during the period of the meditation. It could be an object or something internal like breathing. Open monitoring meditation is where the person becomes a nonjudgmental observer of all aspects of their experience during the meditation. The meditator just notices these things, but does not act on them.
