Additionally to meditations of silence there are guided meditations. Here, mostly we are lead by a soft voice guiding us into deep relaxation. While totally relaxed we allow our sub-consciousness to show us whatever lies dormant respectively needs to be revealed.
Quite often it might be surprising what is showing up in guided meditations. The difference between our conscious and sub-conscious thinking can indeed be remarkable. We might even feel imbalanced not knowing why. Inner peace is gained if consciousness and sub-consciousness are balanced.
Within the dormant part of our sub-consciousness there are many beliefs which originate in our childhood, society's value system, our ethnicity, our culture, our gender, etc.
Guided meditations help us to become aware of such hidden patterns and beliefs. Once we are aware, we are then able to alter them solely by recognizing them and by a deep understanding of our behavior.
Guided meditations are also used for past life regressions. Our sub-consciousness holds all the information of other lives that still do have an impact on this life.
Guided meditations allow us to delve into our deepest self. We get to know ourselves a lot better and shed light on those things that might create conflict here and now. Sometimes perception, insight or recognition is already enough to solve such conflicts.
