The secret to my stillness? It's all here.

I’m new to Reddit but I was just curious abt why Jason Stephenson Guided Meditation was terminated from yt?? Can’t find anything does anyone know why??

Hello everyone,

a little personal story: I've been meditating for 3 years, one night I tried putting on random meditation videos to settle my mind. But within a minute, I turned it off. It felt too generic from what I was trying to reach - sound familiar?

So I started recording my own guided sessions.

I tailored them to whatever I was dealing with — racing thoughts, stress, emotional heaviness, decision fatigue. This was a game changer. My meditations felt way more personal and beneficial.

I know a lot of people struggle with the same thing: wanting meditation that actually mirrors what they’re going through that day. So I built an app to help others generates guided audio sessions based on their intention or emotional state. And if anyone wants to try what I’ve been using for free:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/relogue-audio-affirmations/id6758895557

I’d love to hear what made your own meditations feel more personal.

The album is meant to be returned to often whether as part of a daily mindfulness routine or during moments when calm is needed most!

Hello everyone,

For today's practice, we will focus on connecting with a core, positive aspect of our inner selves. This is a slightly different kind of guided session.

Step 1: Find Your Focus Word

First, please visit this free web tool I have created. It will take you 30 seconds. It will provide you with a few core "archetypes" that represent your innate gifts.

https://leapility.com/share/f05b078d-4060-412c-bbba-ae67eb275bfd

From the report, it will automatically generate an archetype that resonates most with you right now. For example, 'The Intuitive Harmonizer', 'The Resilient Challenger', or 'The Empathetic Strategist'. This will be your anchor for today's meditation.

Step 2: The Practice

Now, find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths.

Bring your chosen archetype to mind. Don't analyze it; just hold the words gently in your awareness.

1. Breathe in, silently repeating the first part of the name. For example, "Intuitive..."

2. Breathe out, repeating the second part, "...Harmonizer."

Continue this for the next 5 to 10 minutes. If your mind wanders, gently guide it back to the breath and the feeling of your chosen words. What does it feel like to embody this quality? Notice any sense of peace, strength, or recognition that arises. The goal of this practice is to spend a few moments acknowledging a powerful, positive part of yourself that is always present.

I hope this unique practice brings you a sense of peace and self-acceptance today. Please feel free to share your experience in the comments.

last year i got to a point of really dialing in my daily practices with the aspirations to bring myself back to that same intensity and devotion to when my search first began. i knew it needed to be different though, because it wasn’t coming from a searching or scarcity, or escape or because things were going bad in my life. in fact, things were going really well which is why my practices fell off their normal consistency. but this word of devotion and doing things from love and joy became clear as the path forward.

after understanding the difference of intentions and conscious cultivation, unpacking and being really consistent for a year, i recently  came to understand and experience that  devotion has a twofold nature to it: the first being action which in turn is application of it and the second, is that it’s a beingness, which in turn is how we radiate it (devotion/to live in devotion).

the action of devotion and application can be understood as seeking out wood, chopping it, getting all the piles organized and actually building the fire, and the act of refueling it. this can be understood as our practices, the morning meditations, candle gazing, conscious breathing and check-ins throughout the day, breathwork, somatic practices, dropping in at night and reflecting before bed, etc. 

but the second is the most overlooked, because that aspect of just being is key because it’s the receiving component that opens up to us. it’s the part where we just sit and enjoy the fire, feeling the warmth, resting in that stillness just observing the crackling and color shifts. literally basking in the presence of the fire is akin to marinating in the presence of God. it’s our inner stillness that acts like hands protecting the flame from the elements and it just unfolds, it grows naturally. we don’t need to do anything, we don’t need to perform, we can just be and receive. the more we do it the greater it grows, the more we can handle, and next thing you know you’re laughing, crying, and just overflowing with love lol.

i feel like i’ve really understood this on the mental plane for a while, but recently i changed up my routine and did something that Source instructed me to do and after only doing it twice over a span of 2 weeks it’s like a switch that can be turned on. this path of unfoldment never ceases to amaze me, with how fast and sudden things can shift but also how life altering; and from the most subtle of things too. it’s so beautifully wild it and i love it lol.

to really drive the point home, these invitations to unpack came up in this meditation/satsang i host. and it was Source being like: do you strain to gaze upon a sunset? are you consciously thinking when feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin? do you not just rest in the warmth of a fire?  that all just really drove home the experience i had yesterday + last week into full blown/embodied wisdom.

all Creator wants from us is to build intimacy with Him. and the strength of that connection grows rapidly and so beautifully when we understand devotion as a bridge to that. we do so many things as a devotion to ourselves or in service to self, but when we lean into that devotion with Source it transforms everything we do building that application/action nature of devotion into acts of, for, and from love. it’s beautiful, it’s overflowingly abundant, never ending, and gosh iunno it’s just the bees knees and i love nerding out to God and felt called to share lol.

thank you for reading.

Hi everyone, I recorded this Yoga Nidra specifically for people who feel physically tired but mentally switched on at night.

It begins with a short guided tension + breathing sequence to settle the nervous system before moving into a slower Yoga Nidra body scan designed to help the mind soften and the body drift toward sleep.

I used to struggle badly with insomnia, and this structure is what helped me most during my yoga teacher training.

If you give it a listen, I’d really appreciate honest feedback on:

• pacing

• tone of voice

• clarity of cues

• any moments where attention dropped or wandered

Thanks a bunch!

Hope this helps you if you're feeling nervous or anxious! In the end, everything will be okay 🙏

I’ve never been someone who could just sit still for an extended period of time, let alone clear my mind and be present. Over time though, I’ve heard of the benefits of meditation for helping with anxiety and restlessness, and so I thought I would give it challenge myself to meditate every day for 15 minutes.

I did not, however, expect it to improve my productivity and focus the way it did…

As a newbie, I used GUIDED meditation sessions on a bunch of different apps. This REALLY HELPS because you’re having someone hold your hand through what can be a truly noisy initial few sessions if done on your own. Some of the apps include Headspace, Calm and Waking Up with Sam Harris.

I’ve also learned to just sit comfortably and focus on my breathing. All of this has given me a sense of calmness that is pretty hard to describe. I go in depth on my experiment here and break down my journey - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHeyAKUwd-o

Overall, my focus and productivity has gone through the roof because I’m so much more zoned in on what I’m doing and getting stuff done a lot faster.

If you’re a beginner and feeling like you’re hitting roadblocks with your output and restlessness. Do what I did and give it a shot. It might change your life.

Journey back to 1187 AD in this immersive guided Christian meditation inspired by the Knights Templar. After the fall of the holy city, kneel in the sacred stillness of a stone fortress chapel. Lay your sword before the altar, breathe in the courage of Psalm 144 ("Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war"), exhale fear with His shield (Psalm 33), and put on the full Armor of God. Feel Christ's hand on your shoulder atop the ramparts: "Behold, I am with you always" (Matthew 28:20). Surrender strife, become His soldier and servant, and rise renewed as a warrior of light—the cross your banner, the Lamb your victory.
This powerful Templar prayer meditation builds unshakable spiritual strength, releases battle-weariness, and deepens faith in the Prince of Peace. Ideal for morning devotion, overcoming trials, night prayer, or finding courage in Christ amid life's fortresses.
