But a regar silent meditation practice can do wonders to teach the mind to center on a regular basis without the need of a guided meditation. But from my experience, this can take a long time of consistent practice vefore you really see the results. For me, it was about 1 and a half years before it became second nature. But totally worth it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Graciliana Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think a guided one because if you have a wandering mind you coils One out of the silent meditation, I&#39;ve zoned out of silent meditation so many times.

Guided mediation can be useful for beginners because audio cues provide prompts and encouragement. There are times during a guided meditation where my mind begins to wander. And a well timed reminder to recenter my thoughts and not judge myself has allowed me confidence to continue my meditation practice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Len Cia N.
