What is Guided Meditation?
Guided meditation is meditation where in you are guided through visualization and words to achieve a specific goal in your life. You are first asked to visualize yourself to be in a natural relaxing environment, and then guided to reach a deep meditative state through which you can reach a specific goal.
As the brain does not know the difference between an imagined event and a real one, the experience you have with a guided meditation is just like having a real experience. So you get all the beneficial effects of the real experience.
Research indicates that practicing something in your mind is almost as good as it happening in real life.
How does Guided Meditation Work?
Guided meditation is a very powerful way to reach your desired goals in life in 3 ways:
(1) Using the working of your brain
Because you are guided to be in a certain state, your brain thinks that you are already in that desired state, and sends signals to the sensory organs to experience that state. This experience creates new impressions in the brain, which reprograms it and directs your mind in a better way in future actions.
For example, by visualizing yourself practicing a certain dance, your brain engages all the limbs, muscles and nerves as though you are actually practicing the dance. So you end up being much better at the dance.
By visualizing your body to have better health, you can actually enjoy better health. By visualizing your relationships to be better, you can actually enjoy better relationships. Thus every goal of yours becomes more achievable.
(2) Using the power of thoughts
As you think, so you become…For example, if you think yourself strong, strong you become! If you think yourself healthy, healthy you become!
(3) By enabling you to be in the present moment
When you meditate in silence, your mind tends to hold on to something of the past or something about the future. On the other hand, in guided meditation, it is easier to stay in the present and achieve the desired result. After all, any action is possible ONLY in the present

Where is the Meditation Part in a guided meditation?
Meditation is a state of being in the present. In the guided meditation, you are guided to be in the present moment as you are headed towards a positive goal. Thus you get all the benefits of meditation and also get to reach your desired goals with the guided visualization in each Audio Download or CD.
What is the science and logic in a guided meditation?
You are who you are because of your past experiences. Each experience of yours has created specific impressions in the brain and mind. They determine your attitudes, behavior and character in every situation. The stronger impressions are stored in the very cells of your body.
It is these impressions that determine who you are.
It is hard to change these impressions directly. When you have new experiences, then the new impressions they create could modify or replace the old impressions.In guided meditation, through images, sounds, and directing you to visualize using your senses, your brain gets an experience of what feels like a real experience. When you have a new experience, new impressions are created that affect your entire being. So when you listen to a guided meditation you are literally developing new attitudes, behavior and character for a NEW YOU.
