How to Get Started with Guided Meditation
From: verywellmind.com
Despite the benefits of meditation, many people feel overwhelmed when learning how to meditate. Guided meditation makes it easier to get started because it takes a lot of the mental legwork away from the novice. A beginners guide to meditation allows you to be guided by someone else. A guided meditation may help you drum up some specific mental imagery or walk you through a series of breathing exercises or mantras to help you practice meditating. Whether you find guided meditation in the form of a podcast, video, or a class, a guide can help you meditate in a step-by-step format. Then you can concentrate on relaxing and meditating, rather than worry about your technique or your form.
Once you’ve decided to begin a meditation session, here are some helpful tips to get you started:
- Turn your phone on silent or airplane mode.
- Take a break from being connected for five to 10 minutes during this time.
- Allow yourself to be free from distractions to reap the most benefits of guided meditation.
- Then, simply sit or lie down somewhere comfortable. Close your eyes, breathe naturally, and let the guide take it from there.
- It’s natural to get lost in your thoughts, and it’s not necessarily the goal of guided meditation to stop thinking entirely or to fully empty the mind. It’s about paying closer attention to your body. Remember this is a process.
