AI Meditation Guide

Describe your intent (release work anxiety, fall asleep, focus before a presentation, gratitude practice), pick a meditation-type chip (Guided imagery, Breathing, Body scan, Loving-kindness / metta, Visualization, Mantra, Mindfulness, Sleep / Yoga Nidra), set duration (3/5/10/15/20/30 min), experience level (beginner / intermediate / advanced), and tone (warm + gentle / calm + grounded / energizing / minimal). The AI writes a complete read-aloud script with breath cues, [pause: 5s] tags, and a soft closing — pipe into /voice/tts/ for an audio version.

Yes. Each script costs ~300 tokens from your daily pool (2,500 guest, 10,000 signed-up). No watermark, no subscription. Calm and Headspace charge $69.99/year for an audio library; Insight Timer is free with premium upsell.

Yes — the script is written in second-person, present-tense, with [pause: Ns] tags ready to read or feed into text-to-speech. Click "Convert to Audio" to open /voice/tts/ with your script pre-loaded — pick a calm voice (Heart, Bella, Emma) and download as MP3. Free for personal use; cite Free.ai if redistributing.

No — meditation supports mental wellbeing but is NOT therapy. For persistent anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, suicidal ideation, or trauma, please see a licensed mental-health professional.

A practice of cultivating warmth toward yourself, loved ones, neutral people, difficult people, and all beings — using phrases like "may you be happy, may you be safe, may you be healthy, may you live with ease." Particularly effective for self-criticism, social anxiety, and rumination. Deeply rooted in Buddhist contemplative tradition.

Yes — pick Sleep / Yoga Nidra and a 20-30 min duration. The script slows progressively, uses long pauses, body-scan grounding, and avoids stimulating language. Read at your own pace or convert to TTS audio with a slow Heart or Adam voice. Listen with eyes closed, propped slightly elevated.

Calm and Headspace ($69.99/yr each) provide curated audio libraries with celebrity narrators and structured courses. Insight Timer is free with thousands of community-uploaded sessions. Free.ai is custom: a script generated for your exact intent in seconds, free, in 99 languages. Pair both — established teachers in subscription apps, custom scripts here.

The AI draws on widely-published mindfulness research (MBSR, MBCT, ACT, breath-focused interventions for anxiety, body-scan techniques from Jon Kabat-Zinn). Specific clinical claims (lowers blood pressure, reduces relapse in depression) come from peer-reviewed literature on mindfulness — but always treat AI-generated meditations as supportive, not therapeutic.

Yes — add "for a child age 8" to your intent and the AI uses simpler language, shorter pauses, more concrete imagery (instead of "expand your awareness", "feel your breath like a calm ocean wave"). For ages 5-8, keep duration under 5 minutes. Pediatric mindfulness research shows real benefits for attention and emotional regulation.

Start with 5-10 minutes daily — consistency beats duration. Building a 5-min daily practice for 30 days creates a sustainable habit; jumping to 30-min sessions usually lapses within a week. The AI calibrates breath-pause length and instruction density to your selected experience level.

Yes — describe your intent in any of the 99 supported languages and the script generates in that language with culture-appropriate framing. Sanskrit terms (asana, savasana, prana, om) are kept where contextually appropriate. Pair with /voice/tts/ for audio in 174 voices across 37 languages.

Yes — POST to /v1/chat/ with the meditation-script system prompt, billed at ~300 tokens per script. Useful for mindfulness-app integrations, corporate well-being programs, and therapy-platform supplements. Bearer auth via /developer/, full snippets at /api/.
