When we listen to a guided meditation, we are usually listening to someone's voice 'guide' us into a state of attention. That is, they offer us opportunities to pay attention, learn to observe without identification, and take slow, thoughtful breaths. 

But do we need a guide to do this? Why can't we just do it ourselves?

Maybe it's because we feel we can get away with things?

There's an old saying: "Your last thought begins your next life."
