Some of the benefits of guided meditations include reduced stress and anxiety, supporting overall emotional health, increased levels of self-awareness, improved attention span, decreases in age-related memory loss, and improved sleep and pain management. Try a few of these exercises, and take note of how you feel both before and after!
