Guided Meditation
What is Guided Meditation?
Guided meditation is a type of meditation led by a meditation facilitator or meditation teacher. Whether in person or via video or audio recording, what makes guided meditation different is that the process of entering a meditative state is achieved with the help of another’s words or guidance. This form of meditation can be experienced in a group setting (e.g. at a meditation studio) or in a 1-on-1 session (e.g. with a coach, therapist, practitioner, etc.).
In a guided meditation, the facilitator first takes their participant(s) through a progressive relaxation, focusing on the breath & releasing muscle tension in the body. Then, the meditation teacher might lead their participant(s) through guided imagery, invoking mental images that promote physical & psychological well-being. Lastly, the meditation facilitator’s job is to gently guide their participant(s) back to waking consciousness.

Professional utility
Often times the mind is our biggest obstacle to achievement in life. In a spiritual sense, our soul knows deeply that we have more to life than this physical body. Yet, our thoughts reside on daily incessant chatter and idle misgivings. Having a way to clear the mental noise is tantamount to a successful professional career. Without having to study many years of yogic tradition in self meditation or taking a long retreat in the Himalayas to be alone, one can easily have a guided meditation journey.
