I still don’t know what an unguided meditation is. All I have been doing are the meditations that came with the course. I can’t find anything in Kabat-Zinn. Can you give an example of unguided meditation?

The way i learned how to meditate, I had a teacher guide me through the meditations, in person, answer my questions, then I'd go home and do the exact same meditations without the "training wheels." Repetition is key. Think of it as brain training. You can't win a marathon without lots of running, right? You just do it over and over.

Eventually your mind will start coming up with it's own content.
