Meditation is an excellent way to ease stress, sleep better, calm anxiety, and live healthier in general. During guided meditation you listen to a trained individual – either in person, or a recording – walk you through meditation. It’s an excellent way to get started with meditation and hopefully it will be a part of your everyday routine.
Meditation has shown to be very powerful and beneficial. Just 10 minutes a day can help you focus, increase self-awareness, and even increase your overall happiness. I have started to meditate regularly and have begun my morning with short sessions, when I am feeling a little wired at night or I am stressing about something, I will do another short session to help me fall asleep, and sometimes I will meditate after yoga while I am already relaxed and peaceful.
To get started, here are some Free Resources and Guided Meditation Apps:
- Guided Meditation for Teens – This website offers several guided meditation sessions ranging from 3~30 minutes. You can either listen to them right off of the website or download them onto a personal device.

Meditation can take as little as 5 minutes but it has so many benefits. I find myself looking forward to my meditation sessions as they have really helped me with my stress levels and have helped me focus on myself and my goals.
