In this monologue, Dallas Bragg explains why he incorporates a guided meditation—referred to as a “virtual reality” meditation—at the end of every recovery therapy session. He argues that the meditation serves to integrate and imprint the session’s discussion, leveraging the nervous system’s inability to distinguish between imagined and real experiences. By leading clients through an altered state of consciousness, he claims the practice functions as a powerful form of prayer, manifestation, and healing, rather than mere pretend play.

Okay, so why guided meditation in the recovery process? I lead each of my clients in a guided meditation in each session at the end. And what it's used for is to integrate and imprint everything that we've talked about during that session. Your nervous system doesn't know the difference between reality and imagination. In my guided meditations, I call them virtual reality meditations because we're both in an altered state of consciousness and I'm leading you through intuitively When you are pulling out energy or when you're facing your addiction, your nervous system really thinks you're doing that. And there's something that happens in reality inside you that's unexplainable. You have to alter the way that you see guided meditations. It's not playing pretend. It is an intense and profound way to pray, an intense and profound way to manifest, and an intense and profound way to heal.
