Free Meditation Guide for Beginners

When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives: We lower our stress levels, we get to know our pain, we connect better, we improve our focus, and we are kinder to ourselves.

The first thing to clarify: What we’re doing here is aiming for mindfulness, not some process that magically wipes your mind clear of the countless and endless thoughts that erupt and ping constantly in our brains. We’re just practicing bringing our attention to an anchor point, like our breath for example, and then back to the anchor when we notice our attention has wandered.

Setting aside time for your meditation practice is an important way to establish a routine and get comfortable with the practice. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.

In addition to basic meditation instructions, we have compiled guided meditations for popular exercises like the “breathing meditation”, “body scan” and “gratitude practice”. These will be split into 3 modules — stay tuned.

Please keep in mind that meditating on your own is an essential part of a complete practice, the steady guidance of an experienced teacher can be very helpful, especially as you’re getting started.

If you are more of a friend of an app and willing to pay a small amount then have a look at the Calm or the Headspace.
