What is guided imagery meditation

Guided imagery is about using all of your senses to recreate an experience in your mind's eye.

Think of the last time you watched a scary movie...

As the tension was building do you remember your body tensing?... your heart rate speeding up? ...your breathing becoming more shallow?

These are classic symptoms of stress - the scary movie is stimulating adrenaline - just as in real life.

You can use guided imagery to do just the opposite - for stress relief!

How?...Guided meditations can take you on an inner journey for the purpose of relaxation and stress relief.

A soothing voice, combined with relaxing music, can take you on the path to deep relaxation and recuperation.

Try guided imagery meditation today.

Grab a paper and pen.

Write down in as much detail as possible a relaxing experience for yourself.

Try to describe what it looks like, how it feels, what you can smell - try and get as rich-a-description of the scene as possible.

With your words, paint a picture of that relaxing, serene, peaceful moment.

Really try to bring to life the scene in your mind's eye.

When you have got it....put on some soft music...close your eyes...and have a friend read your script to you.

This is a great way to make an individualized guided meditation for yourself.

You can also download a guided meditation - which is generally a bit easier and it means you can download it on your computer or Ipod.
