What Is Guided Imagery Meditation?
The idea of meditating has many people intrigued and wondering all about it. Meditation is a long established custom in many religions around the world. It is a way to enhance personal religious beliefs by allowing them time to concentrate completely on religious passages, or even take their own inner path to find ways to connect on a deeper level with their religion.
Guided imagery meditation is another form of meditation that helps a person discover their own personal journey. By using guided imagery meditation, a person can delve into their emotions, physical problems or other issues that may be preventing them from accomplishing their goals.
How It Works
The process of guided imagery meditation is similar to classic meditation. A person needs to be in a relaxed state of being in which to begin the meditation process. In guided imagery meditation, often CD's are used to help assist a person with the relaxation process. These CD's are created to help a person obtain the highest level of relaxation, and then begin to guide the person through their self-discovery.
In traditional forms of meditation, a person is not so directly guided, they journey on their own. In guided imagery meditation, the idea is to reach a goal during meditation. This goal can be finding out why a person isn't being successful in business to helping a person heal themselves. Guided imagery meditation has been used by cancer patients to visualize the cancer and then see it being destroyed.
Guided imagery meditation classes are often offered through cancer clinics and patients from all walks of life participate. Cancer is not the only reason that people use guided imagery meditation, people with chronic pain, headaches or other ailments use this form of meditation to assist in unblocking their pain.
This form of meditation is also helpful in allowing a person to find their own path in the world. By using this form of meditation a person can take a purposeful journey into their inner self and discover ways in which they may be sabotaging themselves and reasons they don't believe that they can be successful.
By learning how to stop their own self-doubt and cleanse themselves of their own belief that they are a failure, a person can then enjoy the benefits of discovering that they are successful and this can then lead them to more success. By pursuing guided imagery meditation, a person can open themselves up to becoming healthier and more productive.
