Ask HN: Meditaion Resources

[B3QL]

Do you know any good and free resources about meditation from beginner to advanced?

I tried headspace.com but after free trial I resign.

Check if there’s a Shambhala centre near you: http://shambhala.org/centres/find-shambhala-centre/

They offer free beginners meditation classes and group meditation sessions.

You can also continue doing what you’re doing and try many of the free meditation apps to soak up their material. Give Calm, Sounds True, 10% Happier and Insight Timer a try.

As for free books there’s Mindfulness In Plain English: http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html

On tip: buy a meditation timer which does not also have an "access all human knowledge and trivial drama" feature.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005014HB2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3 works reasonably.

John Kabat-Zinn books, and he even has an app.

FWIW, the headspace narrator really wanted me to get somewhere, and that bugged me.

I learned how to meditate with two mobile apps: calm.com and buddhify.com
