Guided meditation is a practice where an individual is led through a meditation session by a teacher or a recording. This guidance can include verbal instructions, soothing music, or nature sounds, helping participants focus their minds and relax. It often involves visualization techniques, breathing exercises, and mindfulness practices to promote mental clarity and emotional well-being. Many people use guided meditation to reduce stress, improve concentration, or enhance self-awareness. It can be found in various formats, including apps, online videos, and in-person classes. Popular figures in this field include Jon Kabat-Zinn and Deepak Chopra, who have contributed to the accessibility of meditation practices.
