In the aftermath of more slow, dystopian, apocalypse shenanigans I'm trying meditations to slap a bandaid on my hemorrhaging mental health.
Seems like all I can find are slow ASMR style speeches about sunny fields and peachy angels, and I can't stand that don't-wake-the-baby talk. I'm not a baby.
I connected with one, lost to time, led by a guy with a chronic smoker's rasp who demanded inner peace. It was spiritually healing because I have a poor relationship with my father.
Please, friends, do you know any free, guided meditations that aren't condescendingly peaceful? That aren't trying to sell supplements or pitch their sponsors midway through?
PS. No posh london accents, they remind me of the king.
Personally I use Medito on Android. It has "courses" explaining different mediation techniques, but also a "daily" mode which allows you to set for how long do you want to meditate and with which voice guide. I think it also has a bunch of tracks for specific mediation techniques.
Not quite what you asked for but Balance has amazing tracks and offers 1 year free. There are 2 voices to choose from, and tons of different scenarios to work from.
PM me and I'll give you a free month to the Waking Up app or alternatively message the support there and ask for a free subscribtion and they'll give you one for a year and then you can ask again next year.
