What is GUIDED MEDITATION?



Powerful. Healing. Relaxing



There are many forms and styles of meditation, all offering stress relief and relaxation for body/mind/spirit. Guided meditation is popular and satisfying because it is quite simply the easiest way to meditate.



Guided meditation is similar to taking a guided tour through your own body. This includes reminders to breathe deeply and consciously, being instructed to relax and let go of tension in the body, and being guide to focus on a specific theme or concept.



As you stay focused on your body and breathing, the action of coloring begins clearing and opening the mind. It's a beautiful combination.



While the mind and body relax, you are able to concentrate on ideas of images around an inspiring or healing theme. This activates the power of visualization when you mind and body are most receptive. Meditation on inspiring thoughts or images is an experience that is transcendent and focus-activating. This process allows better performance in all your life.



Coloring Tips



The most important tip is to relax and enjoy the process. Release any form of expectation or perfectionism regarding how your coloring pages look. Any color is beautiful. Any combination of colors or tools is just right. Every expression of your pencil or marker is welcome. Making mistakes are welcome. Everything is an opportunity to discover something new or try another direction.



Guided Meditation Tips

Take longer than normal deep breaths to open up to your inner wisdom. Clear your mind by practicing slow and gentle breathing. With every breath: Expand your chest/relax your body/open your mind. Center yourself by following the meditation suggestions as you color. Allow yourself to become aware of positive energy surrounding you. Enter a relaxed state by coloring at the pace that feels most comfortable.
