Guided imagery and <a href=”http://www.calmmeditation.com/meditation-information.php”>visualisation</a> can be a part of the meditation process. ‘Mental rehearsal’ is the term that sports psychologists use to refer to it. It is exactly what is used to win gold medals by many sports contestants. The neural channel which has been developed deep within the mind is what helps them to succeed.

Look at what Michael Phelps achieved in the Beijing Olympics – 8 gold medals in swimming for USA! A wonderful example of Olympic achievement. Of course there was a training ‘secret’ that he used in addition to the regular training, groundwork and eating regime known well to all professional athletes. Yes, the key was putting to work the techniques espoused in in the book ‘The Secret’ and in Sandy MacGregor’s book ‘Piece of Mind’ using Guided Meditation.

Phelps wrote in his autobiography: ‘There are times in my sleep when I literally dream my race from start to finish’.  Phelps visualises down to the smallest details every move and aspect of himself winning the race.

Phelps was ‘guiding himself’ whereas CALM has pre-prepared meditations which guide you to achieve much of what you want in life.

Using guided meditation is a peaceful way to start on the pathway to practising meditation. Guided meditation seamlessly leads the meditator into an experience of ever deeper states of relaxation and into Theta brainwave state in which the mind is alert and the body is completely relaxed.

Sandy MacGregor, founder of <a href=”http://www.calmmeditation.com/meditation-information.php”>CALM Meditation</a>, has taught thousands of people how to meditate properly through his guided meditation books, CDs and DVDs. Guided meditation has far-reaching benefits to health, tranquillity, relationships with others, manifesting goals, losing weight and many other areas of life that people often struggle with.

Sandy has been teaching his techniques since 1989.He has personally used the practice of guided meditation found in his books and CDs to drop 49 pounds (22 kgs) of excess weight. Guided meditation helped his son save his own leg from amputation and handle asthma. Sandy also used it to transmute hatred, anger and revenge into acceptance, love and forgiveness while coping with the murder of his three children.

CALM utilizes the most advanced, scientific and up-to-date techniques available in easy-to-follow books, CDs, DVDs and direct downloads to your computer.

Individual meditations are available on many different topics which address various life matters and challenges such as with our health or relationships. It is possible to adapt and customise the guided meditation to suit particular personal needs which makes the procedure very helpful and constructive.

Some people do like to create their own personalised meditation sessions by recording their own voices and choice of background music. Music with a tempo of 60 beats a minutes has been scientifically shown to be most beneficial for the purpose of guided meditation. Music at 60 beats a minute, tends to make the human heart get in time with the music, which of course is the relaxed state and in turn helps to deepen the meditation experience and enhance its effectiveness.

Separately visualising each individual colour of the spectrum in turn as taught by Sandy MacGregor of CALM (Creative Accelerated Learning Methods) will take you deeply into the Theta brainwave meditation state. Each colour of the spectrum is visualised in turn commencing with red and on to orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, violet and so to clear colourless white light. The science behind this is that each colour on being visualised, vibrates according to its wave length within the body. There is a decline of wavelength in each colour and with the progression of visualising each colour the vibrations of each colour within the body becomes more refined. The body feels the vibration and it is this progression of fineness coming into the body (the colours) that takes you to the meditation state.

The preferred option for practising guided meditation is for short say twenty minute periods. Regularity is important to establish the habit. Usually within a brief time span nearly everyone will observe and appreciate the increased usefulness and the quality of their session spent meditating.

Guided meditation utilises visualisation of images by using the senses – see, feel, smell, taste, hear and most important of all imagination and self talk. Everybody can visualize to create and suggest positive images! It is easy to learn how to use the mind like this and yet extremely potent. As well as having many uses and functions, <a href=”http://www.calmmeditation.com/meditation-information.php”>guided meditation</a> is a cost-free method of reaching a peaceful state and of managing life’s concerns and worries.
