Free calming meditation to relax and unwind

A calming meditation is a gentle, spoken audio session you can use to slow down at the end of a busy day or between tasks. On 2hives you can play a three-minute sample in a single tap, with no account and no email address, and a free account plays the whole session, in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian or Japanese. Sessions range from a few minutes to an hour, so you can take a short quiet pause or a longer evening unwind. Listening is free for good. This is relaxation audio, not medical advice.

A few ways to unwind

1. Make a small pause. Put down what you are doing and sit comfortably for a few minutes.
2. Lower the volume and the light. A soft room makes it easier to settle.
3. Follow the voice. Let your attention rest on the words and your breathing.
4. Notice when your mind wanders. That is normal. Come back to the voice.
5. Finish slowly. Take a moment before you pick up your day again.

What this is, and is not

Relaxation techniques such as guided meditation and slow breathing are described by the NHS and NCCIH as simple practices many people use to unwind. A calming session on 2hives is a relaxation practice. We make no promise about how you will feel afterwards.
