On the surface, deep meditation can seem like quite a time consuming and difficult thing to master.
Many people tell me that they have trouble clearing their mind, or they find it hard to stay awake.
There exists an interesting paradox in meditation, where you need to focus, and then lose focus, at the same time.
In order to meditate properly, you need to focus on a single point in time and space to narrow the attention, and at the same time lose focus on all of the surrounding stimuli in order to quieten the mind.
This is where the use of guided meditations can be helpful; they enable the mind to become gently engaged by creating mental imagery with the voice, and at the same time dulling the eternal senses through the use of captivating music.
Once you have entered that state, the body begins to relax, and a sense of ease washes over you.
Each time you listen to the guided meditation, the quicker you enter that state of calm.
Over the longer term, this kind of mental discipline will become more and more natural.
Eventually you will enter into a deeper state of meditation with little effort.
You will find your normal state of mind becoming calmer, and notice that your body is generally more at ease.
Meditation has been recognized for thousands of years to be beneficial to general health and well being, and guided meditations are an excellent way for anyone to begin using this wonderful tool.
