Guided meditations that actually open your world

Open-ended guided meditations that point you toward direct experience — then get out of the way. One beautiful timer. Nothing else. Free.

The practice

Pure Consciousness

We are pure consciousness returning to itself. No more complicated than an acorn remembering it's a baby oak tree.

7 min guided · then sit

Breath as Anchor

A simple entry point. Not rigid counting — just noticing the breath as it moves, and letting everything else be.

9 min guided · then sit

Open Awareness

Drop the focus. Let attention spread wide and become the space that holds everything — sounds, sensations, thoughts passing through.

10 min guided · then sit

The Felt Sense

Below thinking, there's a felt quality to this moment. Warm, cool, dense, spacious. This meditation helps you find it.

4 min guided · then sit

Self-Inquiry

Who is aware right now? Not philosophically — experientially. Turn attention back on itself and see what you find.

9 min guided · then sit

Surrender

Stop managing the experience. This one is about getting out of the way and letting the meditation do itself.

Twenty years of sitting still

Ben, meditation teacher

At 22, a near-death experience in Laos cracked something open. Meditation became the way I made sense of it — and then it became everything else. Twenty years of daily practice, teaching, and learning how to get out of my own way.

I built Unguided because most meditation apps treat practice like content to consume. But meditation isn't content — it's what happens when the content stops. These guided portions point you toward direct experience, then disappear. What's left is yours.

"The best meditation instruction is the one that makes itself unnecessary."
