Guided Meditation For Stress Relief

January 17, 2021 //  by RelaxationMoments//  Leave a Comment

When we are stressed, worried, anxious, or upset, it can be a great option to implement guided mediation into our life. Time spent in meditation restores peace and calm and can bring a sense of restoration to the mind. Meditation is a great practice because it can be done anywhere.

Guided meditations are led by a recording or video and can be done when rest is available, sitting with eyes closed or laying down and resting. Guided meditations can be downloaded or streamed online and will lead a person through a series of auditory and visual practices to create a peaceful and calm state.

The practice of meditation has been an important part of various religions and belief systems for many years.

  • Mindset and meditation can benefit anyone without adherence to particular beliefs.

  • Anyone can meditate. Practice is key, as the more it is done, the better you get at and the greater the benefit.
  • Meditation is a technique that helps all different types of people relax and relieve stress.
  • Meditation allows the thoughts to slow and streamline and stops the stressful mind from moving too fast.
  • Ideally, meditation bring about a feeling of wellness.

Meditation brings wellbeing and peace and it can help people manage emotions.

Many people have experienced emotional benefits from meditation including:

  • Imported self-awareness
  • Present moment awareness
  • Improve imagination
  • Stress building skills

Meditation is a process of focusing and calming the mind so we can experience a break in mental activity and get rest from our judgements, ideas, beliefs, and expectations.

When we rest the mind through meditation, we create space for new ideas and opportunities to access our minds.

Meditation allows us to access a relaxed mental state. Using guided meditation, we can listen and visualize our experiences, making mental images in the mind of places that bring a sense of calm.

Guided meditation is also called guided imagery or visualization. This style of meditation includes the senses experiencing sight, smells, sounds, and textures.

Guided meditations are often led by a guide or coach or teacher. Many visualizations also use music or nature sounds to bring about a sense of calm. Guided meditations lead the listener through a story or series of opportunities for visualization.

While participating in guided meditation it is important to focus the attention on the experience and allow your mind to be free of other distractions or ideas that are stressful.

Instead it is important to experience an open mind and quiet mentality. Another important part of meditation is to breathe consciously. Deep breathing expands the lungs and allows the intake of more oxygen which creates a sense of calm in the body.

Participating in guided meditation in a calm setting can reduce distractions.

Some people like to use headphones or play background music. After some time, it may be easy to meditate anywhere, but in the beginning it is great to set aside some time to yourself to meditate.

A guided meditation that is 5-10 minutes is a great length to start with.

Some people prefer to do guided meditations at night while others do them in the morning. It’s even possible to do them during the day. Anytime is a great time to meditate. Morning meditations allow people to visualize their day and night meditation allows reflection on the day and gratitude for what happened. Many guided meditations are available with a simple online search.

Meditation can be a lifelong practice.

Sometimes a guided meditation is the best option if a person prefers to be led through a series of visualizations in an attempt to form a new idea and allow creativity.

Meditation allows relaxation and can lead us through a series of exercises that bring peace and calm and a new outlook on life.
