This guided meditation offers a rapid method for calming the mind. You may ask: how is it so rapid? This practice bypasses mental effort and relies on the physiologic relationship between the breathing centers in the brain and the centers for consciousness. In this manner, by working properly with the breath, the mind calms automatically and rapidly. This method, is therefore of great use for bringing a sense of stillness and peace to an overwhelming or stressful situation. This practice can be used either as a formal meditation, or for a few minutes throughout daily activities. It is suggested that the listener uses the guided meditation until the method becomes clear to them, in which, it can then be undertaken as an individually led practice.
