One of the most fun, relaxing and effective services that I offer in my Life Coaching practice is Guided Meditation (description below). One of the main ingredients to successful communication with others and a peaceful, balanced life, is developing a state of inner calm as much as possible in our interactions with others, even in the most stressful or emotional circumstances. As a person who has been meditating alone and with others for many years, I can testify to the power it can have in helping the mind and body to become more relaxed, focused and centered -- all traits you will find in an expert communicator. Like Reiki, it is a magnificent tool that can be used to calm oneself and achieve a more balanced life.
*Guided Meditation
"A *guided meditation is when your imagination is lead on a particular journey with the purpose of achieving healing and realizations through purposeful contemplation and reflection. You could have someone speak or read a guided meditation to you, listen to a professional on a CD or read your own onto a recorder and play it back to yourself. The idea is to let go of any thought you may have and allow your subconscious mind to follow the words that are spoken. Many people prefer guided meditation because even if you fall asleep you will still benefit from it subconsciously.
A simple guided meditation will help you to achieve deep relaxation and release negative emotions or beliefs that are preventing you from being further enlightened. When you enter into deep relaxation with such great deliberation you can touch on experiences and feelings that are usually hidden in unreachable parts of your mind. By allowing your conscious mind to sleep, experiences come forward to be acknowledged and released from your subconscious. This enables you to become more positive in your contemplation and reflection relating to past experiences you have had, and you can also replace negative programming with confidence and high self esteem."
