Guided meditations

Here you'll find a range of guided meditations. These are split into three categories:
  • Shorter practices suitable for complete beginners, or people working through Pathways of Meditation
  • Longer mindfulness practices for health and well-being
  • Longer Zen practices for concentration, insight, grounding and energy cultivation
  • Heart-opening practices from the early Buddhist tradition

If you'd like more context for these practices, check out the Beginners, Mindfulness, Early Buddhism and Zen sections of the website. The practices for beginners are described in much more detail in Pathways of Meditation, so if you're brand new, I suggest you start there. It's free! You can also find various articles about different aspects of practice in the Writings section of this website.
