20 Minute Guided Meditation ~ Deep Relax...

GUIDED MEDITATION
About this episode

This 20 minute guided meditation focuses on promoting deep relaxation. Teaching powerful visualization techniques founded in mindfulness we can reduce stress and improve sleep through body scan meditation. Guided meditations can cover a range of topics for a variety of reasons. 


This one on body scan benefits and deep relaxation techniques is heavily focused on teaching you how to relax your mind and body. What this means is that a 20 minute meditation is all it takes to begin deep relaxation to the point where it can relieve stress and anxiety as well as improving sleep. Mindfulness meditation is a general term for much of what we cover in this meditation as well as others. The reason it overlaps so many different types of meditation is that in order to understand your mind or connect with your body, you must be mindful.


Mindfulness is a way to develop your self awareness and ability to step back and view your mind, body and emotions from a distance. Doing this allows us access to ourselves to enter a more positive, non-judgmental, healing and relaxing place in our mind and body. It is through deep relaxation guided meditation that meditation beginners can start to detach themselves away from their overthinking minds and emotional states and begin to become more mindful on a daily basis.


Relaxation comes in many forms. Some like to ready, watch TV or exercise. These along with many others are great ways to relieve stress and boost your mood. Those that don't meditate regularly may not immediately look to meditation as a way to relax. But given the opportunity short guided meditations not only help relaxation in the moment but their benefits carry over into other activities. When you regularly meditate you may find that you experience deep relaxation in other areas of your life that would usually be covered in stress.


Anxiety filled events may be that much more bearable and moments where you may suffer from overthinking are a little more controllable. Whilst these aren't promises I can make, following a regular deep relaxation meditation practice like this one is likely to help in all areas over time.
