Guided Meditation Can Reduce Stress

Guided meditation is a vehicle for relaxation. It helps you to reduce the amount of stress you experience. When you relax with the regular practice of guided meditation, you are likely to become calmer, more centered and peaceful, and less stressed.

Guided meditation provides you the opportunity to spend time in the relaxation response. In this state of relaxation, your body returns to a relaxed state, and it becomes possible for you to enjoy deep rest and repair. Relaxation through the experience of guided meditation helps you to reverse some of the negative consequences that are the result of chronic, unrelieved stress.

Chronic activation of the stress response puts you at increased risk for heart disease, sleep problems, digestive problems, depression, obesity and memory impairment.

When you relax with a guided meditation CD, your experience is one of being led through the meditation process by a teacher or guide. The direction provided by your guide often intensifies your ability to achieve deep relaxation, rest and renewal. The voice of your teacher provides instruction in the process, and he or she literally talks you into the relaxation response with peaceful words, inviting you to use your imagination to deepen your experience.

Quite often, you will find that a guided meditation CD contains a backdrop of gentle, relaxing music; the spoken words can also be enhanced with the soothing sounds of nature. When you use a guided meditation CD, you will find yourself becoming more relaxed in your body as you become more and more focused on the sounds of the voice and the subtle background music.
