Top 5 Favorite Guided Meditations

Here at Blessing Manifesting I love talking about meditation because it's had a huge impact on my life. You can read about Meditation with Loran's Heart and The Cliff. I love all types of meditation, I've meditated while dancing, while using prayer beads, while chanting, while sitting quietly, while listening to music, laying quiet and still in a yoga classroom. All great ways to bliss-out and find your center.

Guided meditations are my favorite.

A guided meditation is a recording or mp3 that you listen to with your eyes closed and allow your imagination and your mind to be transported somewhere else. I have a pretty big arsenal. At one point I had over 60 mp3s but I've pruned it down a little. All but one of my Top 5 are completely free so I hope you enjoy them!

Meditation Oasis
Go here. If you go anywhere, here is what you want to go. 45 meditations for free, covering about anything you can think of. Pregnancy meditations, meditations for children, build your intuition, strengthen your compassion, there are so many! Gratitude, Letting Go, and Simply Being are my three absolute favorite ones. Oooo, maybe we need to have a meditation challenge where we listen to one of these meditations each day for a week or two. Let me know in the comments if that sounds like something you all want to do!

Goddess Workshop by Suzanne Corbie
This one you have to pay for but if you are into Goddess Spirituality it is so worth it, and I don't say this lightly. The Meditation to Connect with the Mother Goddess is my all time favorite off of the CD. (You can buy just this track on amazon and itunes for .99) You literally imagine yourself becoming Mother Earth. Your breath becomes the winds and the breezes, the waters from the rivers, seas, and oceans, flow through your body, you feel yourself sprouting branches. This meditation really makes me feel connected to the Earth. I adore it.

The Cliff by Meditation Australia
I could go on and on forever about my love for this meditation. If brought me closer to the God Shiva and sparked my passion for learning about Hinduism and Eastern Religions. You can read my blog post about my love for it. Signing up for Meditation Australia is free and so are the wonderful meditations. The Cliff starts out with imagining yourself standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out over the ocean as the sun begins to rise. You step forward, until just one foot is balancing on the cliff and then you lean forward and fall. It is beautiful.

Meditations by Kaiser Permanente
Kaiser Permanente is actually a non-for-profit health insurance company but their website has some seriously great meditations. There are meditations to help those coping with cancer, fibromyalgia, and menopause, there are also meditations for anger, forgiveness, stress, and grief. They are all awesome and free. My favorite one is for easing grief, you can use it for broken friendships and relationships as well.

My Thought Coach by Stin Hansen
I love my Thought Coach, some of them require you buying a subscription but there are a lot of other free meditations for your listening pleasure. The Evening Inventory Meditation is really great if you feel yourself being loaded down with the day's stress at the end of the day.

So there you go my lovies, some great meditations to improve your life and to help you be all shiny and radiant.

So what do you say? Would you like me to create a Blessing Manifesting Meditation Challenge?
