Meditation Series 3 Guided Meditations
Mediation is a valuable way to feel calm,
relaxation, release of anxiety, clear mindedness, and understanding your own
self energetically, emotionally, and spiritually.
At times, meditating while sitting still and watching the days thoughts float
by is almost impossible for some people. Our minds are too much in
motion. (Monkey chatter or Magpie chatter.)
So to meditate the standard way, no thoughts just sit and focus on nothing, can
be really hard. But you can still meditate! Have you ever heard of
guided meditations?
Meditating with a guided meditation is super easy and is very healing.
This type of meditation is advisable for beginners and anyone else who has
trouble with a standard way of meditating. I've been meditating for at
least ten years now and I still will use guided meditations on and off.
Guided meditations are a great way to introduce yourself to sitting quietly and
relaxing. There are many benefits you receive by simply sitting
quietly. Benefits of meditating link by Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/feeling-it/201309/20-scientific-reasons-start-meditating-today
Guided meditations tend to be a easier way to meditate because you follow words
and you imagine beautiful settings. Your mind has something "to
do" other than trying to release all the day’s events. Many people
have a hard time with sitting still, let alone with a calm inner world in their
heads.
To be up in your head (thinking) means you're
not in your body/in the present moment. You're on
"auto-pilot." Being up in your head, you miss out on what is
going on in the present moment; feeling emotions from yourself and others,
feeling what your senses are feeling/smelling/tasting, not experiencing what
you were meant to experience due to being in the past or the future moment. (Which
do not exist! The past is gone. The future is not created
yet. Being in the present moment is the only place that exists!)
Living your life in your head and in the past or future is not a healthy way to
live your life.
I have enjoyed guided meditations from Belleruth Naparstek by
Healthjourneys. She has a series of different meditations that give you
"self-help" and general wellness. A few of them are:
General Wellness, Self-Confidence, Mastering Menopause, Trauma, Panic Attacks,
etc.
There are many guided meditations listed on YouTube. Another guided
meditation I have enjoyed is:

It doesn't have to be hard to start meditating. Just start off
slow. Find a quiet place in your home or outside. If you're unable
to get away to a quiet-private place, try meditating with your earphones on in
a calm area. For example, sitting in the city park by a water
fountain. Try walking slowly through a green area of the city listening
to your guided meditation. Or even use your bath time as a time to
meditate with your guided meditation. I do suggest you do not lay down
and meditate. You will fall asleep. To receive all the benefits of
meditating, you will want to stay awake.
Here is a guided meditation by Belleruth Naparstek to use for Stress Reduction.

I have used all
procedures I have written about and have found them to be helpful as tools to
help myself become a better person. I am sharing them with you
because used as a tool, they are helpful in Shadow working on
ourselves. (Shadow working is healing our inner shadows that are
unconscious or subconscious. Inner shadows are our belief systems,
our thoughts, our behaviors, our life experiences.)

my Reiki clients originally. Combining these tools with Reiki
creates a happy, healthy person. These tools, when used alone are
also beneficial!
