Guided meditation and Gratitude
Tara Brach, the founder and mentor of the Insight Meditation Community Of Washington (n.d.), described that, beginning and successfully participating in guided gratitude meditation has four basic requirements:
Daily practice – Consistency is vital for any meditation. To explore and enjoy the full benefits of guided meditation practice, it is vital that we commit to daily practice.
Location and time – The brain works in strange ways. If we choose a particular time and place for practicing guided meditation every day, chances are better that we will benefit from it more. Most practitioners recommend using a comfortable spot for meditation practice that is free from excess light, sound, or physical distractions.
The right posture – The ideal guided meditation posture is a comfortable sitting position with the neck extended and the back straight. The proper stance allows smooth blood circulation and breathing. A tired body may tend to slouch the back or fold the legs, but it is vital that we correct the posture every time it goes wrong.
Zero judgment – The first time may be a complete failure. But we must not let it overrule our commitment to daily practice. The mind may wander, get distracted, or get disappointed by the underachievements, but our goal is to prevent this frustration and look beyond the temporary obstacles.
