Is a Guided Meditation the same as a visualisation?
I’d say ‘yes’, though some might disagree with me. Both terms cover a huge spread of actual experiences and whichever you do (or are told you’re doing!) it’s worth asking yourself what your intent for this particular session is . . . this will help your conscious mind go where it needs to go. I tend to see a visualisation as a way of triggering our imagination, of getting our creative, intuitive, inner self to make itself ‘felt’ . . . or ‘seen’ or ‘heard’ – a visualisation doesn’t just work with the visual senses!. Our imaginations are very powerful, they have a huge potential in helping us explore our emotions, our innate wisdom. Often they can connect us to a truth and peace that our logical minds have no grasp of! If nothing else, Guided Meditation / visualisations help to restore some balance to our minds . . . and give our logical brain a rest!
