Is guided or silent meditation better for beginners?

For most beginners, guided meditation is the easier starting point. Having a voice to follow gives your attention something to hold onto, which is reassuring when you are not yet sure what to do, and it quietly teaches the mechanics of practice. Silent meditation can feel like being left alone with a busy mind before you have the tools for it. Many people begin guided and drift toward silence over time. StillMind’s guided sessions are built to make those first steps feel doable.
