What Is Guided Mindfulness Meditation?
Guided mindfulness meditation is a type of meditation practice designed to help the practitioner live calmly and presently in the current moment, with an awareness of themselves and what is going on around them. Guided mindfulness meditation may take place as part of a meditation class, or it may be practiced independently. There are numerous books, audio CDs, and DVDs that contain instruction on meditation, and how to incorporate the practice into daily life. The best way to describe guided mindfulness meditation is through an explanation of the practice. For those who are new to meditating, it is best to start in short increments of approximately ten minutes. It may be helpful to set a quiet alarm to go off at the end of ten minutes, so it is not necessary to keep glancing at the clock and interrupting the meditation practice.
