Benefits of Guided Meditation for Mental Health

By Stacy Hixon, MA, LPC-S, CCTP, FRTP


Guided meditation is basically having a calm narrator gently steer your brain away from its 47 open tabs and back to the present moment.

It may help mental health by:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Calming racing thoughts
  • Improving emotional regulation
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Supporting better sleep
  • Helping the body feel safer and more grounded

It is not magic, but it can be a helpful coping skill when the nervous system is doing jazz hands.
