WHAT IS A GUIDED MEDITATION?
The basics of a guided meditation.
The fundamentals of a guided meditation session.
The term itself serves as an explanation of what it is supposed to signify. If you're still not sure what I'm talking about, imagine the following: The process of meditation is supervised by an experienced professional guide. Other options include listening to a meditation script while you meditate or using a CD, audio tape, or video that you purchased or made yourself to assist you in the process.
All of these are instances of guided meditations in their own right. Given that the goal of any meditation session is for the participant to achieve a state of deep relaxation, guides are an excellent motivator. Even though many individuals obtain guided meditations through websites such as YouTube or similar, coaches and meditation teachers are crucial in teaching you the fundamentals of meditation properly. However, there are some advantages to using online resources or digital media.
So, what is it about a guided meditation like this that is so appealing? For starters, guided meditation is frequently less expensive than a private session. The cost of a private one-to-one teacher-led session would be significantly more if you used materials like CDs or YouTube, or if you enlisted the assistance of a buddy to instruct you.
These private sessions, on the other hand, are considered to be guided meditations in their own right.
Using a guided meditation can help you comprehend the fundamentals of meditation more clearly and effectively. It can assist you in clearing your mind of all distractions and meditating more efficiently.
The majority of group guided meditations have specific objectives, which range from medical healing to spiritual development. However, while guided meditation can be utilized to promote healing, the guides are not the ones who perform the healing themselves. Because of the flow of energy made possible by your meditation, your naturally healthy state is only now being restored.
A large number of websites provide information on self-meditation as well as guided meditation techniques. Most of these websites also include pre-written screenplays, background music, and many peaceful visuals for exercising to assist you in remaining concentrated.
For example, as previously stated, you tube is full of many different forms of guided meditation that can be used for everything from sleep troubles to relationship breakups to cellular healing, so take some time to look around.
You could think of it as a huge virtual guided meditation room of some sort, with the same goals in mind — to provide you with minutes of deep relaxation and introspection.
Adults are not the only ones who benefit from meditation, contrary to popular belief. There are a plethora of online guided meditation sites available for children. It is possible that you will fall in love with one of the many magical recordings for children that you will find on YouTube by searching for "youtube kids."
They take the children to a spot that is both serene and rejuvenating. The scripts are really engaging, and they will most likely encourage children to remain focused on the meditation activities.
Some guided meditations include roughly thirty minutes of peaceful music to help you relax and unwind. This is beneficial for both your mind and body. The voice of a guide can occasionally be heard above the beat of the music, giving you cues on what to think about and how to stay more intensely focused during the meditation. These guided meditations can be done either individually or in a group setting.
Using CDs or commercially accessible recordings will provide you with the same benefits as using a computer.
A guided meditation is ideal for persons who are just getting started with meditation or who want to refresh their memory. While it may be a little lengthy for individuals who are new to meditation, it can nevertheless give them with a wealth of information on how to achieve a state of deep tranquility.
I hope you will give it a try with a guide and, before you know it, you will be meditating on your own without any help.

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:
