Meditations (Koine Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis heauton, lit. ''Things Unto Himself'') is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161–180 CE, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy.
We research, write, and curate evidence-based insights, guided meditations, and practical tips designed to boost well-being, reduce stress, and nurture a daily mindfulness practice.
Here’s what 5‑minute meditations look like, why they work, and how to use them as a daily tool — whether you’re at home or on the go. You’ll also find different types to try and tips to help you get started, even if your brain won’t stop buzzing.
Guided meditations have no preamble or discussion. They begin and end with the sound of the chime. There are periods of guidance and stretches of silence. All are suitable for first-time meditators (though we suggest listening to the discussion before doing the meditation if possible) and long-time practitioners, and everyone in between.
