The Ways To Positive Change With Guided Meditation

By Joyce Howard


There are many things in life that can make a person feel overwhelmed, weighed down, or just out of sorts. Pressure and thoughts of the sort may have a huge impact on various aspects of an individual's lifestyle and health. These feelings can be dealt with in a variety of ways, though one of the most effective could be guided meditation.

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.

No matter which format a person prefers, the sessions generally follow the same core structure, starting with the guide having the student lie down, or sit, in a position that is comfortable. They will then request that one focus on the sound of their voice, and open their mind to visualize the scenario being described. Sometimes sounds of nature, such as birds or waterfalls, will be incorporated in order to enhance the visions and clarify the mental pictures.

As one focuses on these visualizations, they begin to relax and become still, both inside and out. The mind becomes clearer, stress fades, and at this point, the subconscious is open to positive reinforcement. This is where the guide begins to talk about the subject of focus such as personal empowerment, spiritual development, a more positive attitude, emotional well-being, better sleep, or simply finding a way to deep relaxation.

More self-confidence, increased positivity, and lower stress and anxiety, are examples of the emotional benefits that may come from this meditative method. A boost in intelligence, memory, and creativity, along with better problem solving skills, are ways in which one may be affected psychologically. Fewer panic or anxiety attacks, the strength to resist the tendencies of addiction, and better control of mood swings and irritability, might also be gained by this technique.

There are also several physical benefits that one may find by participating in these practices. They may include a stronger immune system, reduced tension in the muscles, lower blood pressure, better cholesterol levels, fewer headaches due to stress and strain, restful sleep, and more energy. While the effects are rarely immediate, with regular sessions, one will begin to see the positive results.

At the conclusion, the guide will lead the student back into normal awareness, but they will be feeling more relaxed and refreshed. The length of the these sessions vary somewhere between 5 minutes and an hour, depending on the individual's preference. While some people use this meditative practice to increase their spirituality, for many it is about the positive benefits that are gained like clear thinking and relaxation.
