Guided Session

Create a custom guided meditation script

Write a guided meditation script for me.

Duration: [5 / 10 / 15 / 20 minutes]
Focus: [stress relief / sleep / focus / anxiety / gratitude / body scan]
Experience level: [never meditated / some experience / regular practitioner]
Setting: [morning routine / lunch break / before bed / during commute]
Preferences: [with visualization / body-focused / breath-focused / mantra-based]
Tone: [warm and gentle / calm and neutral / grounding and direct]

Create:
1. A complete guided meditation script with natural pauses marked as [pause X seconds]
2. An opening grounding exercise (1-2 minutes)
3. The main meditation practice with progressive deepening
4. A gentle closing that transitions back to awareness
5. A post-meditation reflection prompt (one question to journal about)
6. A suggestion for how to extend or deepen this practice over time

טיפים מקצועיים

Specify your experience level honestly. A script designed for beginners includes more guidance and shorter silence gaps, while advanced practitioners want less narration and longer pauses. One size doesn't fit all — and AI defaults to beginner-level unless you tell it otherwise.

Breathing Toolkit

Learn targeted breathing techniques for any situation

Build me a breathing exercise toolkit for different situations.

Situations I face: [anxiety, trouble sleeping, pre-presentation nerves, afternoon energy crash, anger/frustration]
Experience with breathwork: [none / some / regular practice]
Health considerations: [any respiratory conditions, pregnancy, etc.]
Time available: [1-5 minutes per exercise]

For each situation, provide:
1. The specific breathing technique and why it works for that situation
2. Step-by-step instructions with exact counts (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6, etc.)
3. How many rounds/minutes to practice
4. Physical cues: what to do with your hands, posture, eyes
5. When NOT to use this technique (contraindications)
6. A progression to try once the basic version feels easy

טיפים מקצועיים

Practice each technique when you're calm first, not during a crisis. Learning box breathing for the first time while having a panic attack doesn't work. Build the skill during practice so it's available when you need it — like a fire drill.

Stress Dissolve

Quick exercises for acute stress relief at work

I need quick mindfulness exercises I can do during a stressful day.

Stress triggers: [meetings, deadlines, difficult people, overwhelm, uncertainty]
Work environment: [open office / private office / remote / retail / healthcare]
Physical constraints: [can I close my eyes? stand up? step outside?]
Time windows: [1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes]
What I've tried: [any techniques I already know]

Provide:
1. Three 60-second exercises I can do at my desk without anyone noticing
2. Three 3-minute exercises for a bathroom or hallway break
3. Two 5-minute exercises for a lunch break or walking
4. A 'stress SOS' protocol for moments of acute overwhelm
5. Physical grounding techniques that interrupt the stress response
6. How to transition back to work after each exercise without losing the calm

טיפים מקצועיים

Specify your work environment honestly. 'Close your eyes and do a body scan' doesn't work in an open-plan office with your boss watching. AI needs to know your constraints to give you exercises you'll actually use in the moment.

Sleep Wind-Down

Build a pre-sleep mindfulness routine

Create a wind-down routine to help me sleep better.

Bedtime: [target time]
Current sleep issues: [trouble falling asleep / waking at night / racing thoughts / screen addiction]
Evening schedule: [what your evenings look like]
Bedroom setup: [lighting, noise level, temperature]
What I've tried: [melatonin, sleep apps, etc.]
Screen usage: [when you typically stop using screens]

Design:
1. A 30-minute pre-sleep wind-down sequence with specific activities
2. A progressive relaxation body scan script for lying in bed
3. A thought-release journaling technique for racing minds
4. Bedroom environment optimization checklist
5. What to do if you wake at 3am and can't fall back asleep
6. A gradual transition plan from current habits to the new routine (not cold turkey)

טיפים מקצועיים

Include your actual screen habits, even if they're 'bad.' AI can't help you if you say you stop screens at 9pm when you're really doomscrolling until midnight. Honest input gets you a realistic transition plan you'll actually follow.

Mindful Morning Ritual

Design a mindful morning routine

Help me create a mindful morning routine.

Time available: [minutes before I need to start my day]
Current morning: [describe your current routine, even if it's just grabbing coffee]
Goals: [calm / energy / focus / gratitude / all of the above]
Living situation: [alone / with partner / with kids / shared space]
Wake-up time: [when you get up]
Biggest morning challenge: [rushing, phone checking, anxiety, grogginess]

Design:
1. A minute-by-minute morning routine with mindfulness woven in
2. A 3-minute micro-routine for days when time is tight
3. Transition techniques to shift from sleep mode to intentional mode
4. How to handle disruptions (kids, urgent emails, bad sleep) without abandoning the practice
5. A 2-week habit-building plan to make this routine stick
6. One evening preparation step that makes the morning routine easier

טיפים מקצועיים

Start with a 5-minute routine, not a 30-minute one. The goal is consistency, not duration. Once 5 minutes feels automatic, extend to 10. AI will suggest elaborate routines unless you set a strict time limit upfront.

טיפים מקצועיים

1

Five minutes counts more than you think. Research shows even 5 minutes of daily meditation produces measurable stress reduction after 8 weeks. A short practice you do daily beats a long practice you do occasionally.

2

Your mind wandering IS the practice. Noticing your mind wandered and gently returning to focus is the entire point of meditation — it's not a failure. Each time you catch yourself, you're strengthening the attention muscle.

3

Anchor to an existing habit. Don't try to 'find time' to meditate. Attach it to something you already do: after brushing your teeth, before your first coffee, or right after closing your laptop. Habit stacking is the fastest path to consistency.
