“Guided Meditation is NOT Meditation”

“And Guided Meditations are NOT for Long-Term Use”

As of late, I’ve had many people come to me who have been listening to some very expensive guided meditation that they bought… and they have become very depressed. The truth of the matter is that all these guided meditations are not true meditation in any way, shape, or form… not even close.

What is True Meditation?

Meditation is about slowing down the mind to the point that there is nothing going on and the mind goes into a deep state of rest. That only happens with T M meditation and Vipassana meditation.

Brain Scans of My Brain

See link to see brain scans - https://paulhaider.wordpress.com/2018/08/15/guided-meditation-is-not-meditation/

Here are two brain scan of my brain in a normal waking state and you can see lots of activity. And then a brain scan with true T M and Vipassana meditation which were both the same when we did the scans (So I Am Only Showing One)… and you can see that my brain goes into a deep state of rest… very little activity at all.

Guided Meditation Keeps Your Brain Active… No Rest

These guided meditation recordings with someone guiding you through the process and music keeps your brain active. It does not allow the brain to go into a deep state of rest and recoup. But true meditation like T M and Vipassana even makes your brain grow larger so you have more cognitive abilities.

IMPORTANT - Guided Meditations are Not for Long-Term Use

These recordings called guided meditations are OK… they can help a person relax and help with stress a little bit in the short run. But over the long run they can even create more stress and cause depression… and I have seen this with many people who have contacted me.

Go with the Original Way of Meditating

If you want to heal your mind, if you want to have true deep rest (even more rest than you would get while sleeping), if you want to find inner peace, find inner happiness, if you want your brain to grow bigger and have more cognitive abilities, if you want to attain deeper states of consciousness… then learn T M or Vipassana Meditation.

There is no substitute for the real thing… which helps you grow and become more of who you are deep down inside.

Many Blessings to Everyone!
