Meditation Library
While we are developing our own content, we refer people to these trusted meditation apps and resources used by our community.
Practices We Recommend
Shamatha
Calm abiding — the practice of settling the mind in stillness and ease. By resting attention gently on the breath, we cultivate a stable, clear foundation from which all deeper practice can arise.
Vipassana
Insight meditation — the direct investigation of experience as it arises. Through sustained mindful attention, we learn to see clearly the impermanence of all phenomena and loosen the grip of craving and aversion.
Concentration
The deliberate, sustained focusing of attention on a single object, developing unification and depth of mind. Strong concentration supports both calm and insight, and opens the doorway to deeper meditative absorption.
Brahmaviharas
The four heart practices: loving-kindness (metta), compassion (karuna), sympathetic joy (mudita), and equanimity (upekkha). These cultivate an open, warm heart toward ourselves and all beings — central to the recovery path.
The Way
A deep, structured path through ancient Zen and Buddhist meditation traditions, guided by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Offers a single long-term curriculum — no choice of what to do next, just practice.
Insight Timer
The world's largest free meditation library — 100,000+ guided sessions from 20,000+ teachers across every tradition. A vast resource for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
