Is it better to meditate in silence or use guided meditations?

For me guided meditation works best, I use headspace. However, we are all different so you need to try different things to work out what works for you.

I personally engage in both dependant on mood, time and place. I would suggest you do what feels right for you. We’re all unique.

It’s better to do both because sometimes you might think that your meditating correctly but then sometimes using a guided meditation helps you to understand how to really meditate and put your mind into it.

I choose guided meditations. I have found that when I try to meditate in silence, my mind tends to wander more than with guided meditations. I like to use the Daily Yoga app for my meditations.

Guided meditations are a great way to start off because they give you something to focus on and teach you the best ways to remained focused for when you do start silent meditation. Good luck!

I prefer guided meditations and sleep hypnosis I have attempted to try to meditate in silence and have struggled to maintain concentration but it is something I would love to get better at doing

Whatever you feel will help you connect to your breath better—if I’m feeling sleepy or extra distractible, I’ll use guided for sure. Try different things!

I find the users guide helpful because I often can find myself falling asleep when it’s just silence or even my mind just got wondering off to other place so and I don’t end up focusing on my breathing

If your new to meditating, it’s always useful to try guided meditations. Once your used to the basics, you can decide what your in need of. I usually have calming music playing through my silent meditations, gives me something to focus on if my mind is racing. If your trying to meditate on something, complete silence can help with that, but my mind wonders too much.

I found guided one more effective. Some music and calming voice really helped me especially when there’re temptations to distract myself
