10 of the Best Free Guided Meditation Websites
Guided meditation is a form of meditation that involves a teacher or guide that provides verbal cues to help the practitioner focus their attention on a particular object, thought, or sensation. The guide may use imagery, breathing techniques, or visualization exercises to help the practitioner achieve a state of deep relaxation and mental clarity.
Guided meditation can be done individually or in a group setting. It can be practiced in person or online, and there are many guided meditation apps and videos available for those who prefer to practice at home. *I recommend for beginners join an offline meditation class or group. It is easier to meditate in a group and if you have any problems or concerns you can ask the teacher.
How to Practice Guided Meditation
To practice meditation, follow these steps:
1. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you will not be disturbed. You may want to use a cushion or chair for support.
2. Choose a guided meditation exercise that resonates with you. There are many guided meditation apps and videos available online, or you can work with a meditation teacher to create a personalized practice. My meditation tips, Read article 16 Meditation Tips for Beginners to Help You Succeed
3. Follow the instructions of the guide, paying attention to your breath, thoughts, and physical sensations. Try to stay present and attentive, letting go of any distractions or judgments.
4. Practice regularly, ideally daily or several times a week. This will help to reinforce the benefits of the practice and deepen your understanding of yourself.
