guided meditation
Led mindfulness practice
Guided meditation is a form of meditation led by another person's voice, either in person or through a recording.
The guide directs the listener's attention—to breathe deeply, relax specific muscles, or visualize peaceful scenes: I listen to a guided meditation before bed.
The guidance helps beginners focus without needing to know meditation techniques on their own.
