Your attention has been somewhere else all day. Here are sixteen minutes to bring it back.

No app to manage. No streak counting down at you.

One audio file and a voice that tells you what to do the moment your mind wanders — which it will.

MindfulnessMeditation.com is a guided meditation you listen to, not an app you manage.

A recorded voice walks you through where to put your attention, and stays with you through the part everyone finds hardest: the moment you notice you've drifted off and have to begin again. The free track runs sixteen minutes. Headphones on a train work fine. So does a parked car before you walk into the house.

Weight for a wandering mind.

The sixteen minutes

Here's exactly what happens. No mystery to it.

0:00–2:30

Getting settled. Where to sit, what to do with your hands, why your eyes can stay open.

2:30–6:00

Following the breath without controlling it. Counting, then dropping the count.

6:00–10:30

The wandering. Your mind leaves. The voice shows you how to notice and come back without turning it into a failure. This is the whole skill.

10:30–14:00

Widening out — from the breath to sound, to temperature, to the room around you.

14:00–16:00

Coming back slowly, so you don't lurch straight into whatever's next.

This will suit some people and quietly annoy others.

Do this if:

Your head gets loudest around 11pm.
You've quit three meditation apps because the streak turned it into homework.
You'd rather try the thing than read about the thing.

Skip this if:

You want music with no talking. This track has a voice the whole way through.
You're after sleep stories or white noise.

Where should we send it?

Enter your email. The track lands in about a minute, with a short plain note on how to use it.

What won't happen:

No daily emails, and no sequence written to sound like a friend checking in.
No card, ever. The track is free because it's a sample of what we make.
One message, a week later, asking whether it did anything for you. Unsubscribe and every trace of you is gone.
