Starting with guided meditation
Starting on guided meditation ? Ok. Using an online guided meditation can be a great way to get your meditation practice quickly and easily. Quite simply, a guided meditation (whether it’s online or offline) is a way of taking your mind on a pre-determined course. It gives your meditation some extra purpose. For instance, if you have a health issue then using a specific online guided meditation to address that issue can help to resolve it quicker than merely performing a meditation on its own.
There are several techniques to help you meditate. Some use the power of sound, others use visual symbols or even breathing. But all have a common aim: to focus the scattered rays of the mind on a single point, so as to lead you into a state of self-realisation. Guided Meditation, in simplest form is a type of meditation where the person is guided on every step of his meditation practice. Right from the first step of sitting in a meditative pose to the final stage of completing the meditation, somebody guides you. Repeating a mantra or japa is a highly recommended technique. But if you are a newcomer to meditation, you may wish to make use of the other meditation techniques to discipline your mind. Some of these include: Whilst a guided meditation MP3 can be handy, especially if you have permission to download it onto your iPod or MP3 player, there are times when an online guided meditation is simply your best option.
There are plenty of free guided meditation offerings on the web. A simple search using your search engine will turn up thousands of potential links. Of course, not every guided meditation that you find will be free. But it can be really useful to sample a couple of free audio guided meditations so that you can judge the quality before spending your cash. Use it to meditate on a regular basis. The ideal is to meditate daily but if you can’t manage that, simply make sure that you listen to your guided meditation as often as possible. You’ll notice a difference even listening a few times a week.
