🙏Guided Meditation🧘‍♂️@ New Farm Library

Faciliated by Jasmine Lee, Steve Smith and Ali Arslan.

Introduction to Guided Meditation:

Guided meditation is a gentle practise designed to help you quiet the mind, release tension, and connect more deeply with yourself. Through spoken guidance, you are led on a journey that may include breath awareness, body relaxation, visualisation, or mindfulness techniques. This form of meditation is especially beneficial for beginners or anyone who finds it challenging to meditate on their own, as the facilitator’s voice helps you stay focused and present.

Regular guided meditation can reduce stress, improve emotional balance, enhance clarity, and promote an overall sense of peace and wellbeing. It is an opportunity to pause from daily demands and nurture your inner calm.

What to Bring [Optional]:
• A yoga mat or comfortable cushion to sit or lie on
• A light blanket or shawl for warmth and comfort
• A water bottle to stay hydrated
• An open heart and willingness to relax and receive

What to Expect:

During the session, you will be invited to close your eyes, focus on your breath, and follow the guidance offered. Soft music or nature sounds may accompany the meditation to create a soothing atmosphere. There is no need to “do” anything, just simply allow yourself to be guided and observe your experience without judgment. You may leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and more connected to the present moment.
