Guided vs Silent Meditation: Which One Is Better?
If you’re looking for a clear, practical approach (without overwhelm), you’re in the right place.
What you’ll learn
- The simplest way to start today
- What to do when your mind wanders
- A tiny routine you can repeat
- How to stay consistent
A simple practice (5–10 minutes)
1. Sit comfortably and soften your shoulders.
2. Breathe naturally and notice the inhale/exhale.
3. When attention drifts, label “thinking” and return to breath.
4. Finish with one intention: “May I be calm. May I be kind.”
Common mistake
Trying to force silence. Instead, practice returning—gently—again and again.
Next step
Pick a time you can repeat (morning or evening) and do the minimum version daily for 7 days. Consistency beats intensity.
