Guided Meditation: What Is It?

Guided meditation is meditation with a specific goal or intended outcome. It’s my favorite kind of meditation because it provides all of the benefits of meditation while helping you achieve a particular desire.

When you practice guided meditation, you are taken through the process by someone else. While meditation is always an effortless process—it is more about doing than being—when you work with a guide, the practice becomes even easier. Plus, you get the benefit of achieving a desired outcome, such as stress relief.

You can work with a meditation instructor in person or, more commonly, you can listen to pre-recorded audios to guide you through the process of meditation. You can also find a script and record it yourself, then listen to your own voice taking you through your practice. However, many people find this to be the least desirable way to experience guided meditation for a couple of reasons. First, it can be difficult to listen to your own voice and secondly you have no way of knowing whether the script you’re using is an effective one.

If you decide to try guided meditation, it’s important to find the instructor that’s right for you. Be sure to check the teacher’s credentials so you know that he or she has been appropriately trained. Also, read some of the teacher’s books, articles, or newsletters, and try to listen to a sample meditation so that you get a better feel for whether that particular meditation teacher is right for you. Not every instructor is right for every person, so it’s really important to find the right fit. If you choose the right teacher, you’re much more likely to achieve positive results quickly.

What kinds of goals and desires can be achieved with the help of guided meditation? The list is practically endless. Here are some examples:

• Stress Relief
• Relaxation
• Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
• Increasing Confidence
• Finding Inner Peace
• Improving Relationships
• Finding Love
• Weight Loss
• Healing – Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual
• Motivation
• Health and Wellness
• Spirituality
• Abundance
• Prosperity

If you have a goal or desire, guided meditation can be a highly effective tool in helping you achieve it. It’s important to keep in mind, however, that it isn’t an “instant fix.” It takes practice and repetition to really see the results of your practice. That’s why meditation downloads are such a wonderful way to take full advantage of this powerful technique.

Here at Guided Meditations Online, we offer something really unique and exciting. In addition to our meditation downloads, we can actually customize a guided meditation for your specific goals. We send you a comprehensive questionnaire and, after reviewing it, create a guided meditation just for you, using your name and addressing all of your goals and desires.

If you aren’t quite clear as to what it is you want, we also offer one-on-one coaching sessions where you’ll crystallize your intentions. After the session, which will be recorded and sent to you, we’ll create your custom guided meditation!

Remember that these meditations can be used over and over again to help you achieve your goals and desires.
