Guided vs. Unguided Meditation

Guided meditation is meditation that is led by someone else, either in-person or via a recording. Unguided meditation is meditation done without leadership, done in the presence of others or alone. Unguided meditation may be done in silence or to calming sounds such as singing bowls or gentle music. For those who are in a more difficult situation or are new to meditation, it is often easier to begin with guided meditation. However, many feel that unguided meditation can lead to a deeper meditative state.
