What Is Guided Meditation?

7 Factors to Consider When Shopping for a Meditation Product

If you prefer the self-study approach to meditation rather than learning from a professional, it?s important that you choose the optimal mediation product based on your needs and objectives.

PURPOSE OR OBJECTIVE ? Meditation products vary in purpose and it?s important that you choose one which reflects your objectives. Some products aim to help you eliminate stress, while others help you improve your memory. A few may be for overall or all-around use.

FORMAT ? Meditation products range from books to audio CDs to video tutorials. Choose what you believe you?ll be able to learn most from and which you won?t have a hard time using at any time of the day anywhere you are.

Consider the pros and cons of each format as well. Books offer more comprehensive information but can be quite a challenge for those who don?t have fun reading. Audio CDs are very convenient to use but mere listening could make it hard for you to stay awake and focused the whole time. Video tutorials are the easiest to learn from but they?ll rarely offer detailed explanations on the intellectual aspect of meditation.

MAKER ? Who wrote the book? Who made the audio CD or video? The effectiveness of a product, regardless of its format, will mostly depend on its creator. The person behind the meditation product must be someone qualified. He must have firsthand knowledge, skills, and experience about the topic at hand. If he doesn?t then no matter how media savvy the product was packaged, it?s unlikely to help you attain your objectives in meditation.

APPROACH ? There are different ways for a teacher to educate a student, and the same goes for meditation products as well. Choose a product that adopts the learning style or method you prefer most. Do you want everything to be explained in a step-by-step fashion? Do you want the background to be explained first or do you want the teacher to get straight to the point on what you have to do? Do you want a meditation product that?s interactive or one that allows you to study alone?

DURATION ? How thick is the book? How many minutes or hours do the audio or video presentation consumes? More importantly, how many days or sessions are needed before you can be successfully taught of the proper ways to meditate? Some products promise results after a week while others will require you to undergo the whole process but promise you to become a meditation guru afterwards.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND OFFERS ? Meditation products are rarely offered alone. To sweeten the bargain, companies often sell them along with the promise of discounts on other related products or even freebies!

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT ? And last but not the least, consider the quality of customer service and support offered by the company. Do they, for instance, offer you a guarantee that you?ll learn in a specified period of time? Are you guaranteed of having a money-back return if you don?t learn within that period?

Keep these factors in mind when shopping and you?re sure to have the best meditation product on your hands in no time!
