Thanks for both guides Daragh.

I have two questions if you could help.

  • Does the hand on the belly helps you being more in control?
  • What are your top3 guided meditation apps/playlists?

Hey! The hand on the belly is for feedback- so you can feel the belly move. We’re not used to breathing in this way all the time, so it can help!

Guided meditations are quite personal - we all have different tastes in voices and pace and so on. I started out with the mindfulness based stress reduction audios by Jon Kabat Zinn. There are many more available on YouTube and insight timer - it’s worth exploring to see what works for you!
