Best Free Guided Meditations

Guided anythings are my jam.  Maybe because there have been so many times in my life that I felt so incredibly unguided.  I remember a few years ago where the idea of meditating sounded great.  I was excited to get started.  I got out my yoga mat and sat on the floor, closed my eyes and waited.

For about 30 seconds.  What the hell was I supposed to be thinking about?  I closed them again.  I found myself thinking about my to do list, about my husband, about my kids, about the dog that would not stop barking next door, opening my eyes to check the time.  Seriously, only a minute and a half went by.  Back to thinking.  Wait, maybe I was supposed to be thinking of nothing.  The harder I tried to think of nothing, the more things that popped into my head.  And the more stressed out I was getting.  One, because meditating was not supposed to be hard.  And two, I was wasting my time.

Enter guided meditations.

They were and continue to be a game changer for me.  With someone else guiding me through, I have learned to clear my mind and to relax.  I can focus on the things I need to be focusing on.  And I can recharge.  Or if I'm doing a sleep meditation, fall into a nice deep sleep.  (No joke, the first time I did a sleep meditation, I slept SO good.)

So today, I'm sharing with you, all my lovelies, my favorite guided meditations.  Whether you are new to guided meditations or experienced, these videos are awesome!  Best of all, they are all free!

But before you start, here are a few recommendations on my favorite meditation must haves:

• Yoga mat or meditation cushion - You will want to be comfy!  It's hard to relax when you are uncomfortable.
• White noise machine - I bought this for my meditation time, but truthfully, I use it a LOT.  If you have noises in your home like dogs, neighbors, or even kids this little thing can make a difference.  Even if it is generally pretty quiet, the soft humming can help you relax.  I use it for night time too.  Definitely a happy purchase! 
• When you are meditating, usually your eyes are closed which means some of your other senses can be heightened.  For me, that includes smell.  This meditation blend is made with oils proven to help you focus, calm and center.  
• Headphones are optional.  Some videos say it is best to use them, but it is up to you.  Whenever I have to use headphones though, these are always my go to!
