There have been some threads about meditation, and especially how to get started. I had for some time used some of Jon Kabat-Zinn's stuff. They are 20 min. long and is quite good, but I have also found this to be just beyond, what I find optimal. I know that I should not complain about the length, since meditation is all about letting go - but as with everything else - it is all about finding what works for you.
Recently I stumpled upon Headspace which is a website and more importantly an app for iPhone and Android(As far as i know). The concept is a subscription service, where you get new meditation content on a regular basis, and thereby keeps the meditation interesting. It also revolves around a community that you can participate in if interested.
One of the guys behind it is this guy:

This video were the reason why I stumpled upon the app. The good thing is, that you for free, can get a 10-day trial, where each day consists of a new 10 min guided meditation sound-clip. I have completed the first 4-5 days, and there have not been that much new stuff in the guided meditations, from day to day, but my hope is that once completed, I will still have access to the "old" free 10 day meditations and then I can consider whether or not to subscribe. But despite not being that much renewal from day to day, I still find the guided meditation helps me quite a lot. They are even better than the Jon Kabat-Zinn stuff I used from time to time before. And I find that I use them more regularly.
This is a very good way to get introduced to meditation. There are some very helpfull instructional clips in the beginning, that if you are completely new to meditation, helps you on the right path, tells you what to expect from it, and maybe more importantly; what not to expect.
So to everybody that are looking for a way to start meditation, please have a look and see if this could help you along.
Just as a note - I have no economic interests in this site or company in any way, don't even know the guys behind it - this is just a heads-up.
