Guided meditations help you meditate with spoken instructions and music. They help you relax and unwind by providing a soothing and peaceful ambience. On the other hand, Sahaj Samadhi Dhyana Yoga is a mantra-based meditation technique. The mantra is a charged, subtle sound that takes you to deeper states of consciousness. Guided meditations require, well, guidance, but once you learn Sahaj Samadhi, you can meditate on your own with this technique. It just needs 20 minutes of your time, and a quiet corner where you can sit comfortably. With regular practice, you will feel more at peace and note the improvements in your physical health and mental acumen as well as your increased awareness and sharpened intuitive skills.
