Word on guided meditation.






   I love guided meditation as a way to connect with yourself, your environment, and the divine. However, unless you have an old fashioned tape player or something that’s easy to record and play back on, it can be a really tough thing to do on your own.  The one reason I don’t do guided meditation often is the only option I have is my husband, who, despite how important it can be to me, can get snarky and silly about darn near everything.  Asking him to read aloud a guided meditation is like asking Statler and Waldorf over for a viewing of Twilight.  You won’t get much out of it, but you sure will have a good giggle, unless you like Twilight.  Then you’ll just be angry.  

   So I read and re-read my guided meditations. I’m currently reading Goddess Alive by Michelle Skye and its very difficult to follow these meditations without reading them a dozen times and just winging it when you have your quiet time and place.

   I haven’t yet found a solution to my guided meditation needs, other than finding a friend who can help me out who shares my needs and wants regarding my spirituality, but finding such a person who is also able to meet regularly is difficult.  My best friend would love to, but she’s so busy all the time.  Local Pagan and Wiccan groups seem so closed off when I read about them online.  I live in a state where being Pagan is very weird outside of college towns and two large cities.  I don’t know what Pagans in the actual Bible Belt do, if its this bad up here. 

   I hope I can find a solution to this with time.  I have had some great success with guided meditation in the past.
