Active, or guided meditation techniques actively engage the mind and re-focus your thoughts. They help you to achieve clarity and calm, and can be used throughout the day, even when driving or in conversation! Practicing active meditation is especially beneficial for those who are:
- Feeling stressed out or frazzled
- Feeling “stuck” or powerless
- Emotionally sensitive or overwhelmed
- Feeling anxious or depressed
- Feeling ungrounded, disconnected or flighty
- Looking for greater clarity, purpose and insight
