“Guided meditation is not a new invention. It was used in the time of the Buddha, over 2,500 years ago. Even if you enjoy sitting in silence, guided meditation can be beneficial. A guided meditation is an opportunity to look deeply into the mind, to sow wholesome seeds there, and to strengthen and cultivate those seeds so that they may become the means for transforming the suffering in us. A guided meditation can also help us come face to face with suffering we have been avoiding. Seeing it more clearly, we can understand its root causes and be free of its bondage.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
