Whether a particular guided meditation is appropriate for a beginner is a difficult question - everyone is different, and some people will have a natural knack for certain types of practice, which others may find inaccessible for a while.
If you are new to meditation, it's best to try a range of ways of practicing, to figure out what you find accessible and what you don't.
I'm trying to offer a range of types of meditation that may be helpful for beginners. It doesn't always have to look like "watching the breath" - so please take the time to find what works for you.
