Unlock your greatest potential and promote calm. Support a healthy headspace by following guided meditations. Guided meditations allow you to reel in racing thoughts so that you can find mental clarity. Try these five guided meditations to improve your focus, mood, and productivity.

1. The Five-Minute Miracle

The most challenging part of creating healthy habits is starting them. Meditation can be intimidating for beginners because it goes against our nature to sit for a length of time and seemingly do nothing. Fidgeting, boredom, and racing thoughts are all common. The Five Minute Miracle by Beyond Purpose helps set a foundation for making guided meditations a regular part of your wellness routine. 

This meditation is excellent for beginners. Starting with just five minutes per day will make it easier to transition into longer meditations. 

Many people who are new to meditation have trouble visualizing what the narrator prompts them to see. This introductory meditation focuses less on visualizations and more on introspections. 

The narrator prompts you to tap into your imagination and learn how to recognize its usefulness throughout your day. You will leave this meditation feeling happy and ready for a little fun!

2. The Summer Meadow

Anxiety and stress can make us feel cornered, claustrophobic, and tense. Escape this negative foothold by expanding your mind over a vast open field in The Summer Meadow by The Honest Guys. 

The narrator's soothing voice helps create a relaxing state that allows you to feel open for visualizations. He perfectly describes the atmosphere, dissipating your anxious thoughts with brushstrokes of visual imagery.

This video really helps capture the grandiosity of undisturbed land with subtle soundscapes like a light breeze. You can imagine the wheat crops dancing in the wind and against your skin seamlessly! 

3. Guided Meditation for Detachment from Over-Thinking 

Over-thinking can have a negative impact on your emotional well-being. It can also cloud your judgment, derail your concentration, or impede your productivity. Learn how to reel in your thoughts through guided meditation and integrate these techniques in the real world. Check out Guided Meditation for Detachment from Over-Thinking by Michael Seeley.

This guided meditation's content is a little deeper than the others. It provides a lot of positive affirmations from the narrator. Rather than focusing on visualizations of soundscapes, you are invited to travel inward. 

There are a lot of silences and moments of just "being" in this video. We highly recommend journaling your experience afterward to note what comes up during your meditation! 

4. Connect to HIGHER SELF Guided Meditation 

Many people use meditations to help connect to their higher self. Some practitioners believe that this is a self-actualized version of yourself that helps you connect to your life's purpose. 

Help define your path by listening to Connect to HIGHER SELF Guided Meditation by New Horizon. This video uses astral beats to create a transformational experience of the mind. It promotes a sense of calm while stimulating your subconscious. 

Connecting to your higher self doesn't need to have a spiritual connotation. We all have this innate sense of drive or passion towards careers, people, or hobbies. Guided meditations can help you tap into your intuition, desires, or true feelings. This meditation will definitely help get you there!

5. Guided Sleep Meditation

Naturally lull yourself into a restful sleep with a guided meditation. Meditations promote deep breathing that triggers your parasympathetic nervous system. Take this relaxation to the next level by listening to Guided Sleep Meditation by Jason Stephenson. 

This video checks out two guided meditation tropes we love—sleeping and ocean waves. Transport yourself to a siesta on the beach as you calm yourself to sleep.

Set the mood for the ultimate relaxation experience. Help promote healthy sleep cycles with the support of OC Health and Wellness CBD Softgels with Melatonin for Sleep. You’ll feel rejuvenated and ready to crush your goals in the morning!
