Another popular type of guided meditation is Affirmations.Affirmations involve reciting a positive message in your mind while visualizing a certain image.I once taught an affirmation to a lady who was dealing with an alcoholic husband. She was fighting to preserve her inner peace (well, her “sanity”, as she called it). I taught her to use the affirmation “Calming, letting go” while visualising stress dripping off of her body like beads of water. This simple technique gave her a way to essentially teach her own mind to let go of the stress, helping her to relax.Affirmations are very popular in the self improvement niche.
