It seems to work nicely. I've written a few, though it's kind of intimidating to try to record oneself.

A friend of mine has offered me some cds that are guided meditations. I know when I meditate I get bursts of images that are quite random. So she offered them to me and I wasn't for sure how well they work. I hate hearing my own voice, but maybe sometime I'll have to try recording some after I've worked with these.

I found a podcast for guided meditation. It's working out pretty well for me.

I have actually tried live guided meditation with an instructor. I was a little sceptic if I could do it in a room with 20 other people but it worked for me. The instructor was great and I hope to take another class with her sometime.

My father was a student with Silva Mind Control when I was fairly young. He had tapes that we listened to when we went to sleep. The one I remember most was setting an internal clock to wake up at a certain time. It worked.morgainesapphire said:
When I was sixteen, I was sent to a treatment center. We had group meditations there. They were usually based on self examination, like going to a house, and finding a shelf of books, and picking a book that is actually about you, you thumb through and randomly pick a page, then we would talk about what part of our life came to mind.
When I perform Reiki, there are mainly three different techniques I will choose from. There is a general movement of energy through the body, there is a more focused work of energy for pains, or injuries, and there is one guided meditation I use to clear the chakras. I have only done this medition for 5 people, but each time, the person has broke down and cried, and I mean 'let it all out' kind of sobbing.

Wow I wished I lived near you. That sounds so profound. I've wanted to try Reiki but haven't yet but this is probably another post.

It's one more useful tool. But like any tool, it's usefulness is dependent on what is needed.

:flower2: Yes guided meditation is very good for those just entering beginners as it were, in helping you understand the images or voices you may encounter on your spiritual journey........but once you are settled in and grow in the art of listening to you body and mind guided meditation is no longer needed at lest for me any way.m:
