List of my 5 Favorite Free Guided Meditations
1. Morning Gratitude Meditation – Franko Heke
This morning practice is the one I return to when I want to start the day grounded and clear. It’s short, potent, and full of heart. Perfect for anyone who wants to greet the day with intention and balance.
Perfect for: mornings when you need perspective, intention, or calm motivation
2. Loving Kindness Meditation – Jeremy Zinzan
This loving-kindness meditation feels deeply personal and healing. Through gentle guidance, he invites you to expand your compassion outward—starting with yourself. It’s one of the most heart-opening meditations I know.
Perfect for: cultivating self-love, connecting with others, developing compassion, opening your heart
3. Sea of Soft Dreaming: A Magical Message from Your True Self – Marie-Kristin Hofmann
Yes, this one is mine. This journey is for anyone who feels a little lost or longs to remember their magic. You will reconnect with a magical memory and the authentic version of yourself and this way receive a soul message waiting for you in the depths of the ocean.
Perfect for: accessing inner wisdom, reconnecting with joy, creative vision, receiving messages from your intuition, inviting magic
4. Breathing into Sleep – Bethany Auriel-Hagan
Bethany’s voice is like warm lavender tea for the nervous system. This meditation gently slows your breath and thoughts, making it easier to drift off peacefully. I recommend it for anyone with a busy mind at bedtime.
Perfect for: falling asleep, releasing mental chatter, restoring nervous system ease.
5. Sound Bath with Tuning Forks – Jordan C. Minor
I love sound baths and I love tuning forks! A true vibrational reset. This tuning fork session uses the powerful Solfeggio frequencies to harmonize the body and mind. If you’ve never tried sound healing with tuning forks, this is a beautiful place to start.
Perfect for: emotional reset and clearing, or unwinding after an intense day.
