Personally I prefer guided meditations, but when it comes to meditation one size doesn’t fit all. There was a guided meditation that I really liked, but my friend Peter just couldn’t relax because the narrators voice irked him. I also once tried a walking mindfulness meditation, and absolutely loathed it. But a few years later I gave it another go – this time barefoot on soft grass – and it was simply amazing. I guess what I’m trying to say is, try the whole palette to find what works for you.
I prefere a guided meditation, because it helps me keep focus and is surden to Challenge me as Well. But i use bits of meditation in my Whole Day – consous breathing, tjecking in with the Body at try to have an accepting attitude towards whatever i feel in that moment. I stop for a moment and allow myself to Be so to speak.
Always guided because it helps bring back my mind when it goes wandering. it doesn’t have to be complex, even just a plain guided breathing meditation, still always helps.
I have been using guided meditation for a while now. I started using it to learn how to meditate, but would like to try just meditating on my own some time. I guess I’m a little worried to try, but those are just silly fears.
Music for me is my favorite. I get lost in my mind and when I finish the session I’m completely relaxed. I do find it’s not great for concentration, but when your stressed, there’s nothing better than to put on some ambient music and getting lost in your thoughts. I often find clarity and peace during these sessions.
Guided is the best way I found to start training my mind. However, I’ve recently found some hypnosis to be a much more personal experience into my waves.
I like to just commit to a few breaths first and say to myself “just this breath” and do a body scan feeling where every part of my body is and then I’ll turn on an app for a short guided meditation, like I love Oprah and Deepak’s app (can find them online too) there is one 21-day series called Miraculous Relationships that’s actually mostly about the relationship to yourself and self-love it’s so uplifting.
I usually use headspace app for meditation. The guy has a real calming voice, and has always something interesting to say before and after the meditation
I prefer guided meditation. I can do mindfulness without guidance, and I am comfortable with creative visualization. Guided meditation, especially with a voice that I comfortable with, work best for me, personally. Please meditate in any way that works for you. Good luck!
My favorite type of meditation is concentration meditation because I seek to be more focus on specific tasks in my daily activities currently.
