What is a Guided Meditation?

Guided meditation is a great bridge and tool for beginners before practicing more advanced meditation techniques. Being completely quiet, still and alone with your own mind can be intimidating and challenging initially.

This type of spiritual meditation practice allows students to have a specific focus, the comfort of the voice of the person that is leading the practice, as well as the stable energy of a well-trained teacher. Such guiding can bypass the controlling mechanism of the mind, and passively affect it in a positive way, with very little resistance.

If done correctly, a guided meditation can take the practitioner beyond the conscious part of his or her mind, where there are limitations, to the subconscious aspect, where pure potential and non-judgement reside.

Purpose

The purpose and results of a guided meditation can greatly differ. It simply depends on the chosen topic, the intended purpose according to the author, as well as the spiritual suggestions and impressions that are given.

Generally speaking there are guided meditation for anxiety, stress release, relaxation, insomnia, inner peace, for arousing specific chakras, cultivating self-love, and much more.

Tips for a Successful Meditation

  • Always sit for meditation (on the floor or in a chair), unless indicated otherwise.

    For some guided meditations it is recommended to lie down. Use props as needed, so that you are comfortable and not distracted by any discomforts of the physical body.

  • Find a quiet place and space where you will not be disturbed. You can use earphones to help you interiorize.
  • When thoughts come just simply observe, let them go and then bring your attention and concentration back to the meditation.
  • Consistency is key to achieve results. Set aside 20-30 minutes every day.

Important Note

Students meditating in Vajrasana. This is a powerful meditation asana that can encourage wakefulness and powerful energy movement.

Without a deep understanding of the subconscious mind, successful achievements and results in spiritual practice, and a high level of spiritual aptitude, a person should not create their own guided meditations. What seems like helpful and valuable impressions and suggestions can actually be harmful and counterproductive, in many ways, without proper training and spiritual initiations.

Therefore, we recommend always to use meditations which are created and guided by high level initiates and spiritual masters. The meditations you see here on our site are all compiled by Somananda – a spiritual yogi for over 20 years.
