Las mejores meditaciones guiadas

Preguntas frecuentes

• ¿Qué es la meditación?

  Meditation is a mind and body practice that can help you focus on your breath, find clarity, develop concentration, and enhance emotional positivity, which allows you to remain in the present moment. Meditation focuses on the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior.1 The benefits of meditation can come from practicing only a few minutes a day.
  With a guided meditation, you listen to narration from an instructor or guide (usually with accompanying soothing sounds, like waves) to help you focus while you are meditating.

• ¿Qué tipos de clases de meditación existen?

  When it comes to different types of meditation classes, there’s definitely not a shortage. Other than choosing between a guided and unguided (silent) meditation, the next step is to determine the type of meditation you want to do. Some of the more common types of meditation classes include: visualization, loving-kindness, reflection, Zen, transcendental, chakra, gazing, breathing, yoga, mindfulness, vipassana (self-transformation), and walking.

The cost of in-person classes can range from $20 to $150, with an average of around $55 to $60 per class. This depends on the length of the meditation and the experience of the instructor. You can also download meditation apps, which range from free to $15 per month.

• ¿Son las meditaciones guiadas tan buenas como la meditación regular?

  The advantage of guided meditations is that the narrator or teacher walks you through how to meditate, what to expect from your mind and body, and how you can apply what you learned in the meditation to your life. If your mind tends to wander during meditation, the guidance of an experienced teacher can help you focus and bring you back to the present moment. Meditation on your own is a good idea once you've done a few guided meditations, and don't need a guide to help get you to a focused place.
