Guided Imagery - an easier way to meditate?

If you haven't yet heard that meditation is good for you, then let's fix that right now!  Meditation, in all its various forms and styles, has been repeatedly shown to be good for your brain, your body, your stress response and your overall well-being. 

And, like many things that are good for us, meditation isn't always easy to do. After all, the mind was made to wander!

One option - listening to audio of guided imagery practices. Guided imagery has been described as "the easiest, most user-friendly form of meditation you can find. It’s simply listening to words and music that guide you on a positive journey, where you imagine yourself relaxing and doing well, with all your senses. Even half-listening works."
