Meditation has been practiced for many years by many different cultures and religions. Guided meditation is when the listener follows the spoken instructions of the guide to help reach a certain state. This is ideal for beginners who are not yet adept at self meditation, which is reaching a meditative state without the aid of someone guiding you through. This does not include using sounds and/or music.
Meditation is the act of entering into a lowered state of consciousness wherein brainwaves cycle less frequently. In this state there is usually some form of benefit that the person is seeking. This could be to find an answer to a question, to change a pattern or simply just to relax. There are many different styles and types of meditation but all have the same common goal of connecting with the deeper mind.
