Guided Meditation To Make
you Whole
by
Carl Walker
Guided meditation is a form of stress relief that is conducive to
relaxing the whole body, in part by finding a way of peaceful and calming
relaxation from within the body. Guided meditation may utilize soothing
photographs or scenarios to enhance the ability of the mind to relax and
guide the body to a point of relaxation so that the person in meditation
can find a true sense of inner peace. Quite often, guided meditation will
be accompanied by soft music or sounds of nature.
One of the keys to successfully having a session of Guided meditation is
finding an area where the one meditating will be free of distractions. Any
outside interference will prevent proper concentration and make the
attempts at guided meditation futile and perhaps even frustrating, further
aggravating the problem seeking to be solved by the very use of guided
meditation.
After finding a suitable location for guided meditation, other factors
need to be taken into consideration. Some practitioners of guided
meditation feel that visual stimuli can be used to help achieve a sense of
inner peace and help to achieve true relaxation. Still other practitioners
of guided meditation feel that any outside visual simulation will detract
from the mind s ability to properly focus on the body and the results of
the guided meditation will be hindered or even reversed.
The same can be said for audio stimulation during sessions of guided
meditation. While some individuals believe that soothing sound effects or
even quiet music is conducive to the guided meditation, still others
believe that it is only a hindrance and will do nothing more than create a
harmful atmosphere for the practitioner of such guided meditation.
The basic concept of guided meditation is to relax. This is done by taking
oneself on a guided tour of sorts through their own body. In the practice
of guided meditation, it is normal to find a focus point in the body and
begin there, someplace that is easy to relax. While staying focused on the
body and in particular the muscles, the practitioner of guided meditation
attempts to relax the muscles of the body. Allowing the body to completely
relax allows the practitioner of guided meditation to next completely
relax the mind.
When the mind and body are completely relaxed, the person can begin to
concentrate on focusing his thoughts and ideas during the guided
meditation. When using guided meditation, thoughts are usually thought to
be transcendent and more in focus allowing the practitioner to perform
better in all aspects of life. Whether or not guided meditation is right
for a person is not only dependent on spiritual beliefs. Anyone
contemplating the benefits of guided meditation must be seeking to improve
themselves as a whole as well.
