A guided meditation is a spoken audio session that walks you through each step, so you can listen instead of working out what to do. 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 run from a few minutes to an hour, and the courses suit beginners as well as regular listeners. Listening is free for good. This is relaxation audio, not medical advice.

Guided meditations to try

Each card plays a free three-minute sample when you press the play button. The full sessions are free with a free account. All narration is an AI voice, and every script is written with AI assistance and checked before release.

Getting started

  1. Choose a quiet spot. Sit or lie down, whichever is comfortable.
  2. Start with a short session. A few minutes is plenty the first time.
  3. Pick your language. Many people find a voice in the language they think in easier to follow.
  4. Follow the voice. If your attention wanders, that is normal. Come back to the words.
  5. Try again another day. A regular time can help the habit feel familiar.

What this is, and is not

The NHS describes mindfulness as paying more attention to the present moment. Guided meditation is one way to practise that. It is a relaxation practice, and we make no promise about how you will feel afterwards.

If you have a particular goal, try free guided sleep meditation, guided breathing exercises or calming meditation to relax and unwind. Our guides explain guided meditation in your own language and how to choose a guided meditation. You can also open the app and browse every session.

A note on safety

This is relaxation and general information, not medical advice or treatment. Never listen while driving or operating machinery. If you have epilepsy, seizures or a hearing condition, check with a doctor before using audio like this. See the 2hives safety page.
