By Joyce Howard


Many aspects of life can bring on feelings of being weighed down, out of sorts, and overwhelmed. The pressure of such thoughts could seriously impact different areas of a person's health and lifestyle. There are several ways in which these issues may be attended, but guided meditation is among the more effective.

What this means is entering a meditative state with the help of a guide. This particular method does not require any type of special training and can be done by practically anyone who just needs to find clear head space. It can be the perfect solution for those who are experiencing a lot of stress, feel like they have too much mental stimulation, find it hard to let go of certain thoughts, or who just want to relax more completely.

Many people find that guidance is their preferred way achieving complete relaxation and quieting themselves in all ways. This method might also be a useful way for one to learn how visualize the positive changes they wish to achieve, and bring them to manifestation. It can be performed in a variety of ways, including audio recording, videos, group classes, and private sessions, all designed to suit individual preferences.

Regardless of the format one prefers, a typical session usually follows the same basic structure, beginning with the guide suggesting that one sit, or lie, in a position that is most comfortable to them. They will request one to listen to the sound of their voice and visualize as they describe relaxing scenarios. Quite often, nature sounds may be utilized to enhance these visions and help the student create the pictures in their mind.

The more one focuses the visual images, their body relaxes and they become very still on the inside as well. As their mind clears and the stress Fades away, their subconscious becomes more receptive to receiving positive reinforcement. The guide takes this time to bring about the desired effects such as spiritual development, personal empowerment, a more positive attitude, improved emotional well-being, deep relaxation, or being able to sleep better.

Many people find great emotional benefits from this type of meditative practice, such as increased positivity, more self-confidence, and less stress and anxiety. They may also gain on a psychological level by boosting memory, intelligence, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. The techniques can also help one reduce anxiety and panic attacks, resist the pull of addiction, and control mood swings and irritability.

A lot of individuals find they gain physical benefits as well. These include an increase in energy, better sleep, less stress headaches, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reduced muscle tension, and a stronger immune system. Though one may not see an immediate difference, over time the positive changes become quite evident.

At the end, a student is guided back to normal awareness feeling more refreshed and newly relaxed. Depending on one's personal preference, meditative sessions can be as short as five minutes, or as long as an hour. Some individuals find these practices a great way to clear their thinking and become more relaxed, while others find that it increases their sense of spirituality.
