Zen Habits
Zenhabits is a blog by Leo Babauta, who I respect and admire. Over the years this man’s writing helped me overcome anxiety and find myself. I definitely recommend reading this blog often, and even go to the blog archives and start from the beginning. It’s a treasure chest. If you’re hanging out on Facebook, check out this Fan Page for Leo.

Headspace
My favorite app and website of the Top Meditation Websites in 2016. Go to their blog to learn all about meditative practices and methods for free, listen to Radio Headspace or register to try their mindfulness meditation app for free. I used to have their paid plan for one year, and I must say it’s the best app you can have on your iPhone or Smartphone.
Audio Dharma
They have a huge collection of free guided meditations. This site is old, actually, but it has true value for the reader. It is an archive of Dharma talks given by Gil Fronsdal, Andrea Fella and various guest speakers at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, CA. Each talk illuminates aspects of the Buddha’s teachings. The purpose is the same that the Buddha had for his teachings, to guide us toward the end of suffering and the attainment of freedom.
Calm
This website serves as a tool to facilitate meditation. It offers meditation timers, music to calm the mind and video recordings of nature, such as falling snow, rolling waves or the setting sun. All these are designed to allow a person to clear the mind in front of their computer, and with the app, in front of a mobile device as well.
Meditation
This is not a how to site, it exists solely to serve the meditation community by connecting students and teachers and meditation centers. They have some products for sale, but it detracts very little from the site’s primary aim. Meditation.com is more of a gateway to

OSHO
Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.
