Many Guided Meditation scripts are available, yet many teachers and students are not able to enjoy maximum advantage of this great relaxation and healing technique.
Kelly McGonigal, PhD, provides a script and some great tips:
- Use your natural teaching voice, rather than an artificial “relaxing” voice.
- Pause regularly. Leave space for students to shift their focus inward.
- The script shouldn’t fill up the entire relaxation period, and will take about 7 minutes to read, with appropriate pauses throughout. Shorten this script for shorter relaxations, so that there is time for extended silence. The guided audio version has 2 minutes of silence near the end of the relaxation; in classes or private sessions this silence can be much longer.
- Give students time to settle into a relaxation pose and quiet down before you begin leading them through this script.
