This book offers a collection of lovely imagery scripts to be read aloud to a group, but which I also found calming just reading silently. The imageries are worded beautifully and evocatively, guiding the listener (or reader) into soothing visualizations. I appreciated that it also provides a section on strategies for reading aloud effectively, including the best use of volume and pacing. Perfect book for meditation group leaders as well as solo practitioners.

A Peaceful Gem in a Noisy World

Guided Meditation Scripts by Hilary Riley is a beautiful and practical guide for anyone seeking calm, healing, or clarity—whether for personal use or to support others in group settings. This book is like a gentle breath of fresh air. Each meditation is thoughtfully written, rich with imagery, and easy to follow, even if you’re completely new to meditation.

The scripts are perfectly timed for busy lives—just 5 or 10 minutes—and can be used in countless ways: for morning grounding, stress relief during the day, or peaceful transitions before sleep. I especially appreciated the flexibility built into the book. Riley offers tips for adapting the scripts for beginners, children, trauma survivors, or group work, which makes it an incredibly versatile tool for teachers, therapists, and wellness facilitators.

The imagery is soothing and immersive—you can almost feel the sunlit meadows, hear the flowing rivers, and rest in ancient temples just by reading the words. And if you’re guiding others, the scripts give you a confident and compassionate framework to follow.

If you're looking for a way to slow down and reconnect—with yourself or with others—this book is a must-have. Highly recommended for mindfulness leaders, yoga instructors, counselors, or anyone who simply needs a portable sanctuary for the soul.
