The Llewellyn Encyclopedia

Term: Guided Meditation

DEFINITIONS

Guided Meditation: A way of achieving a trance-like state. One person will describe a way of relaxing and slipping into the desired state. Often, there is a goal to this form of meditation such as divination or distant viewing. Sometimes the meditations involve stories that take people on a visualized journey after achieving the desired trance state. Such guided visualizations are also known today as Pathworking.

Guided Meditation:

A meditation led by an experienced guide following established inner pathways to access particular iconic collections of knowledge and experience. A typical example would be found in Kabbalistic Path-Workings progressing on the Paths from one Sphere to another on the Tree of Life.
