Meditation is one of the techniques that aims to balance emotions, reduce stress, present new ways to deal with physical and emotional exhaustion, in addition to promoting inner peace. But if you want to introduce meditation into your life, at first you need the help of a teacher or a guide.
Guided meditation can be an alternative for people who don't have the time, patience or desire to get out of the house. It works as an imaginary journey in order to achieve relaxation of body and mind.
Streamed via audio, the guided meditation can be found on the internet, lasting from 3 to 30 minutes, depending on the purpose. For meditation to happen, you need to prepare yourself: be alone in a quiet place, find a comfortable position and be totally surrendered, letting your imagination flow. If you are feeling nervous or flustered, take a few minutes to breathe deeply before starting the meditation.
At the beginning of this process, it is normal for some people to end up falling asleep due to the lull of the technique. But even if it is “off,” guided meditation has subconscious benefits.
Meditation is an excellent method to support the physical and mental health of the body., but don't expect immediate results; changes appear in the long term and require dedication and total dedication from the practitioner.

- Deep relaxation of body and soul;
- Reduction of stress and anxiety;
