When you know the basics it seems easy enough – sit down, breathe and think about nothing. Simple enough right? Wrong! Even though the basics sound easy, they’re often difficult for a beginner to learn how to implement. Resulting in frustration, a feeling they’re doing it wrong and perhaps leading them to quit all together.\nThis is where guided meditations for beginners can help.\nIf you’re like most beginners you might have a ton of questions.\nLike where to start? How long should you meditate for? What should you do while meditating? What should you think about? What’s the right way to sit and breathe? And of course the “Why does being peaceful feel so darn uncomfortable?” question.\nIf you have questions, don’t worry you are not alone, this is a normal part of the process.\nIs There A Right Way Or Wrong Way To Meditate?\nMany people just starting out feel uncomfortable or awkward. Manage your expectations of meditating properly.\nDon’t expect to be perfect or think that there’s a right way or wrong way to meditate.\nUltimately, the goal of the practice is to let go and just be.\nMeditation isn’t about “doing” or “achieving”, it’s about “being” and “observing.” It’s the here and now. Helping you to return to a natural way of being present and enjoying life’s simple moments.\nHow To Start A Guided Meditation For Beginners\nMany meditators find it much easier to get started by way of using a guided meditation\n. Finding that it helps takes the stress (\n1\n) out of where to begin with easy to follow steps.\nBy walking you through the process, step by step, it eases the path by\ngiving the beginner mind something to focus on\nand “hook” in to. Able to let go of the “monkey mind” chatter, and sinking into a state of\ndeep relaxation and inner peace.\nBesides being easy to follow, guided meditations are easy to find. You can find them in a wide range of formats including\nvideos\n, audios, apps and even meditation classes as well as paid and free options.  \nSome have specific purposes, like better sleep (\n2\n), chakra balancing, healing, visualizations, body scan, manifesting, building compassion, and anxiety and stress relief.\nAnother plus? With the wide range and availability of different types you can easily experiment until you find the one that work best for you.\nGetting Started In Your Guided Meditation Practice\n1. Set An Intention\nBeginning your new guided meditation practice is simple – just be willing to be on the path and experience something new.\nBefore starting it can be helpful to set the tone for your new desire by setting an\nintention\n.\nCreate one that works for you or use something like: \n“I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.”\n“I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.”\n2. Create A Meditation Space\nThis is not a must, but a nice to have. Even if you’re just getting started consider creating a special space free of noise and distractions for your new practice.\nYou can make it as cozy or as minimalist as you want to.\nGather items that inspire and calm you\n. Such as candles,\ncrystals\n, like\namethyst or selenite are both excellent for meditation\n, mala beads, a himalayan salt lamp, small fountain,\nessential oils\nand of course plants.\nUsing a\nmeditation cushion set\nis also ideal to help beginner meditators sit in comfort, and you can set them up anywhere. Even if space is tight.\nRead how to choose a good one here:  \nThe 7 Best (and ultra comfortable) meditation cushion sets.\n3. Consider Listening With Headphones\nIf you’re listening to a guided meditation, then outside noises or distractions are the last thing you need. If you’re at all sensitive to a noisy environment then we highly recommend using headphones.\nWe go into detail with\nour recommendations for meditating with headphones\nin our article\nhere\n. For quick reference, our top pick for noise cancelling headphones by Bose is\non amazon here.\n4. Make Meditation A Daily Routine\nCreating a daily routine is one of the best ways to make sure that your meditation practice becomes a habit.\nYou can decide if you prefer to meditate a night, a work during the day or in the morning.  Many people like to meditate first thing in the morning and then again before bed.\nOne nice thing about guided meditations, is that they can be done at any time. Although there are\nsignificant benefits to creating a meditation practice\nin the morning. Find out more about the inspiring benefits of a morning practice in our article\nhere\n.

how to meditate can be overwhelming. When you know the basics it seems easy enough – sit down, breathe and think about nothing. Simple enough right? Wrong! Even though the basics sound easy, they’re often difficult for a beginner to learn how to implement. Resulting in frustration, a feeling they’re doing it wrong and perhaps leading them to quit all together. **This is where guided meditations for beginners can help.**\n\n**If you’re like most beginners you might have a ton of questions.** Like where to start? How long should you meditate for? What should you do while meditating? What should you think about? What’s the right way to sit and breathe? And of course the “Why does being peaceful feel so darn uncomfortable?” question.\n\nIf you have questions, don’t worry you are not alone, this is a normal part of the process.\n\n### ![Guided-Meditations-For-Beginners-3](https:\/\/www.lovejoyandwonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Guided-Meditations-For-Beginners-3-199x300.jpg)Is There A Right Way Or Wrong Way To Meditate?\nMany people just starting out feel uncomfortable or awkward. Manage your expectations of meditating properly. **Don’t expect to be perfect or think that there’s a right way or wrong way to meditate.**\n\n**Ultimately, the goal of the practice is to let go and just be.**\n\nMeditation isn’t about “doing” or “achieving”, it’s about “being” and “observing.” It’s the here and now. Helping you to return to a natural way of being present and enjoying life’s simple moments.\n\n### How To Start A Guided Meditation For Beginners\n**Many meditators find it much easier to get started by way of using a guided meditation**. Finding that it helps takes the stress ([1](https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2944261\/)) out of where to begin with easy to follow steps.\n\nBy walking you through the process, step by step, it eases the path by [giving the beginner mind something to focus on](https:\/\/www.lovejoyandwonder.com\/what-to-focus-on-when-meditating\/) and “hook” in to. Able to let go of the “monkey mind” chatter, and sinking into a state of [deep relaxation and inner peace.](https:\/\/www.lovejoyandwonder.com\/essential-oils-for-meditation\/)\n\nBesides being easy to follow, guided meditations are easy to find. You can find them in a wide range of formats including [videos](https:\/\/www.lovejoyandwonder.com\/20-minute-guided-mindfulness-meditation\/), audios, apps and even meditation classes as well as paid and free options. **Some have specific purposes, like better sleep ([2](https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4153063\/)), chakra balancing, healing, visualizations, body scan, manifesting, building compassion, and anxiety and stress relief.**\n\nAnother plus?

Set An Intention\n**Beginning your new guided meditation practice is simple – just be willing to be on the path and experience something new.** Before starting it can be helpful to set the tone for your new desire by setting an [intention](https:\/\/www.lovejoyandwonder.com\/powerful-affirmations-for-positive-energy\/).\n\nCreate one that works for you or use something like: **“I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life.

I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.”**\n## 2\\. Create A Meditation Space\nThis is not a must, but a nice to have. Even if you’re just getting started consider creating a special space free of noise and distractions for your new practice.\n\nYou can make it as cozy or as minimalist as you want to. [Gather items that inspire and calm you](https:\/\/www.lovejoyandwonder.com\/meditation-gift-ideas-for-him-her-mindfulness\/).

Before starting it can be helpful to set the tone for your new desire by setting an intention . Create one that works for you or use something like: “I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.” “I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.” 2. Create A Meditation Space This is not a must, but a nice to have. Even if you’re just getting started consider creating a special space free of noise and distractions for your new practice. You can make it as cozy or as minimalist as you want to. Gather items that inspire and calm you . Such as candles, crystals , like amethyst or selenite are both excellent for meditation , mala beads, a himalayan salt lamp, small fountain, essential oils and of course plants.

When you know the basics it seems easy enough – sit down, breathe and think about nothing. Simple enough right? Wrong! Even though the basics sound easy, they’re often difficult for a beginner to learn how to implement. Resulting in frustration, a feeling they’re doing it wrong and perhaps leading them to quit all together. This is where guided meditations for beginners can help. If you’re like most beginners you might have a ton of questions. Like where to start? How long should you meditate for? What should you do while meditating? What should you think about? What’s the right way to sit and breathe? And of course the “Why does being peaceful feel so darn uncomfortable?” question. If you have questions, don’t worry you are not alone, this is a normal part of the process. ### ![Guided-Meditations-For-Beginners-3](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Guided-Meditations-For-Beginners-3-199x300.jpg)Is There A Right Way Or Wrong Way To Meditate? Many people just starting out feel uncomfortable or awkward. Manage your expectations of meditating properly. Don’t expect to be perfect or think that there’s a right way or wrong way to meditate. Ultimately, the goal of the practice is to let go and just be. Meditation isn’t about “doing” or “achieving”, it’s about “being” and “observing.” It’s the here and now. Helping you to return to a natural way of being present and enjoying life’s simple moments. ### How To Start A Guided Meditation For Beginners Many meditators find it much easier to get started by way of using a guided meditation. Finding that it helps takes the stress ([1](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2944261/)) out of where to begin with easy to follow steps. By walking you through the process, step by step, it eases the path by [giving the beginner mind something to focus on](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/what-to-focus-on-when-meditating/) and “hook” in to. Able to let go of the “monkey mind” chatter, and sinking into a state of [deep relaxation and inner peace.](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/essential-oils-for-meditation/) Besides being easy to follow, guided meditations are easy to find. You can find them in a wide range of formats including [videos](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/20-minute-guided-mindfulness-meditation/), audios, apps and even meditation classes as well as paid and free options. Some have specific purposes, like better sleep ([2](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4153063/)), chakra balancing, healing, visualizations, body scan, manifesting, building compassion, and anxiety and stress relief. Another plus? With the wide range and availability of different types you can easily experiment until you find the one that work best for you. ## ![guided-meditation-begginers-room-min](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/guided-meditation-begginers-room-min-300x198.jpg)Getting Started In Your Guided Meditation Practice ## 1\. Set An Intention Beginning your new guided meditation practice is simple – just be willing to be on the path and experience something new. Before starting it can be helpful to set the tone for your new desire by setting an [intention](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/powerful-affirmations-for-positive-energy/). Create one that works for you or use something like: “I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.” > “I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.” ## 2\. Create A Meditation Space This is not a must, but a nice to have. Even if you’re just getting started consider creating a special space free of noise and distractions for your new practice. You can make it as cozy or as minimalist as you want to. [Gather items that inspire and calm you](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/meditation-gift-ideas-for-him-her-mindfulness/). Such as candles, [crystals](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/meditating-with-crystals-for-beginners/), like [amethyst or selenite are both excellent for meditation](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/how-to-meditate-with-amethyst/), mala beads, a himalayan salt lamp, small fountain, [essential oils](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/essential-oils-for-meditation/) and of course plants. Using a [meditation cushion set](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/best-meditation-cushion-sets/) is also ideal to help beginner meditators sit in comfort, and you can set them up anywhere. Even if space is tight. Read how to choose a good one here: [The 7 Best (and ultra comfortable) meditation cushion sets.](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/best-meditation-cushion-sets/) ## 3\. Consider Listening With Headphones If you’re listening to a guided meditation, then outside noises or distractions are the last thing you need. If you’re at all sensitive to a noisy environment then we highly recommend using headphones. We go into detail with [our recommendations for meditating with headphones](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/meditating-with-headphones/) in our article [here](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/meditating-with-headphones/). For quick reference, our top pick for noise cancelling headphones by Bose is [on amazon here.](https://amzn.to/2MxAe5c) ## 4\. Make Meditation A Daily Routine Creating a daily routine is one of the best ways to make sure that your meditation practice becomes a habit. You can decide if you prefer to meditate a night, a work during the day or in the morning. Many people like to meditate first thing in the morning and then again before bed. One nice thing about guided meditations, is that they can be done at any time. Although there are [significant benefits to creating a meditation practice](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/benefits-meditation-morning/) in the morning.

Readable Markdown	Learning how to meditate can be overwhelming. When you know the basics it seems easy enough – sit down, breathe and think about nothing. Simple enough right? Wrong! Even though the basics sound easy, they’re often difficult for a beginner to learn how to implement. Resulting in frustration, a feeling they’re doing it wrong and perhaps leading them to quit all together. This is where guided meditations for beginners can help. If you’re like most beginners you might have a ton of questions. Like where to start? How long should you meditate for? What should you do while meditating? What should you think about? What’s the right way to sit and breathe? And of course the “Why does being peaceful feel so darn uncomfortable?” question. If you have questions, don’t worry you are not alone, this is a normal part of the process. ### ![Guided-Meditations-For-Beginners-3](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Guided-Meditations-For-Beginners-3-199x300.jpg)Is There A Right Way Or Wrong Way To Meditate? Many people just starting out feel uncomfortable or awkward. Manage your expectations of meditating properly. Don’t expect to be perfect or think that there’s a right way or wrong way to meditate. Ultimately, the goal of the practice is to let go and just be. Meditation isn’t about “doing” or “achieving”, it’s about “being” and “observing.” It’s the here and now. Helping you to return to a natural way of being present and enjoying life’s simple moments. ### How To Start A Guided Meditation For Beginners Many meditators find it much easier to get started by way of using a guided meditation. Finding that it helps takes the stress ([1](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2944261/)) out of where to begin with easy to follow steps. By walking you through the process, step by step, it eases the path by [giving the beginner mind something to focus on](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/what-to-focus-on-when-meditating/) and “hook” in to. Able to let go of the “monkey mind” chatter, and sinking into a state of [deep relaxation and inner peace.](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/essential-oils-for-meditation/) Besides being easy to follow, guided meditations are easy to find. You can find them in a wide range of formats including [videos](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/20-minute-guided-mindfulness-meditation/), audios, apps and even meditation classes as well as paid and free options. Some have specific purposes, like better sleep ([2](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4153063/)), chakra balancing, healing, visualizations, body scan, manifesting, building compassion, and anxiety and stress relief. Another plus? With the wide range and availability of different types you can easily experiment until you find the one that work best for you. ## ![guided-meditation-begginers-room-min](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/guided-meditation-begginers-room-min-300x198.jpg)Getting Started In Your Guided Meditation Practice ## 1\. Set An Intention Beginning your new guided meditation practice is simple – just be willing to be on the path and experience something new. Before starting it can be helpful to set the tone for your new desire by setting an [intention](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/powerful-affirmations-for-positive-energy/). Create one that works for you or use something like: “I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.” > “I intend that I have more peace and presence in my life. I am willing to open to a meditation practice and I welcome this new path into my life.” ## 2\. Create A Meditation Space This is not a must, but a nice to have. Even if you’re just getting started consider creating a special space free of noise and distractions for your new practice. You can make it as cozy or as minimalist as you want to. [Gather items that inspire and calm you](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/meditation-gift-ideas-for-him-her-mindfulness/). Such as candles, [crystals](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/meditating-with-crystals-for-beginners/), like [amethyst or selenite are both excellent for meditation](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/how-to-meditate-with-amethyst/), mala beads, a himalayan salt lamp, small fountain, [essential oils](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/essential-oils-for-meditation/) and of course plants.

Although there are [significant benefits to creating a meditation practice](https://www.lovejoyandwonder.com/benefits-meditation-morning/) in the morning.
