Actually, calling guides just for beginners is a pretty common misunderstanding. They are more like having a good set of tools for different jobs, not just the first one. Like @charles510 heard, even people who have done this for years use them to mix things up. When your own thoughts are too loud, a guide gives you something else to focus on, which can really help reset your whole session. It's less about not knowing how and more about needing a different voice to follow sometimes. What kind of guided sessions do you go back to most often?
