The Ways To Positive Change With Guided Meditation

By Joyce Howard


In life, many things can leave a person feeling out of sorts, overwhelmed, or weighed down. Heavy thoughts and pressure can deeply impact an individual's health and their quality of life. There are multiple ways in which people choose to address such issues, though guided meditation could be the easiest and most 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.

The guidance technique is possibly the easiest way for many to find that complete state of relaxation, and to seek their inner quiet. Is can also be an effective way for one to use visualization as a means to manifest positive changes within themselves. This meditative practice can be carried out in several ways, including the use of videos, audio recordings, private sessions, or group classes.

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 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.
