I am liking meditation more than yoga lately..any recommendations?
 

Hi all
For years sitting still was difficult for me to meditate. I loved yoga and felt that I could really get into that calm place with it

But lately I am noticing a change where I like sitting meditation more.
I think I am just burnt out on the sun salutations. I also dont have an hour to dedicate to yoga

I am loving the faith hunter meditatiins... any other suggestions?
Thanks

A lot of yoga instructors have meditation only videos. Check out your favorite instructors. I also really like Faith Hunter!

My favorite Youtube meditation channel is Jason Stephenson. For meditation music only, I like Best Relaxing Music, Nu Meditation Music and Brainwave Power Music.

Insight Timer as lots of nice meditations - guided, yoga nidra, music, etc.

Boho Beautiful has lovely meditations for free on you tube, and ten days of meditation you can purchase from their website.

Boho Beautiful are my favorite ones too. :heart:

I like that she leaves silence. I cannot do meditations with constant talking.

I’ve used the Insight Timer app. It’s free and has so much to choose from. I especially like Jennifer Piercy’s Yoga Nidra offerings.

Do you know how long the 10 meditations are from the program that you can purchase on their website? Thanks!

They are about fifteen minutes each.

you sure won't like Travis's meditation yoga. he talks and talks

I know :D I tried one and lasted about three minutes!

Insight Timer is amazing and has some really fabulous practices on there. I like Andrew Johnson, but he is chatty.

I like Insight Timer too--so much free content plus flexibility to do guided or timed.

I also did this great (free!) 40-day series from Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach:

I'm a fan of Yoga Nidra, and particularly like Karen Klutznick's Conscious Relaxation Serenity Now cd.

I've also been exploring Jon Kabat Zinn's mindfulness books and cds.

Oh, and I just recently bought Jane Adam's Gentle Yoga. Still yoga, but with a focus on moving with the breath.

I'm also a fan of J Brown's yoga dvd. Focused on the breath and the whole 'gentle is the new advanced' approach to practicing.

Another vote for Insight Timer. I usually just use the timer function or ambient music/nature sounds, but there are many many guided meditations in the app too.

How much is membership? Please

Tara is the best. She has a podcast that has meditations, along with some great talks.

Thank you, just subscribed.

Another two-thumbs-up for Insight Timer. Free unless you want to pay for extras. Not necessary as there are TONS of free meditations on there.

I HIGHLY recommend Stephen Proctor and Meditation in the Shire. http://meditationintheshire.com.au/
Out of Australia. ALL FREE! Best meditation instruction around!

Also Bodhipaksa/Wildmind. He has lots of free stuff on YouTube and lower cost downloads. His voice is wonderful. https://www.wildmind.org/

And last but definitely not least, Ajahn Achalo and Peace Beyond Suffering. Lots of FREE content/meditations. Sweet style, very kind and gentle. http://www.peacebeyondsuffering.org/

They are my favorite meditation teachers. There really is a lot of good content out there.

Thank you for the recommendation. I like this. Will download today.

Not that its needed but another Insight Timer fan here. :)

Always needed

I appreciate this thread. I went and downloaded Insight Timer and have really been enjoying it. I started with the Beginner link which has been perfect for me so far.
