Don’t know about that guy but I did it with Headspace. It’s guided meditation - he coaches you through it. I found it pretty helpful. Nowadays I do guided yoga

Nowadays I do guided yoga with YouTube videos but I try to keep the lessons from Headspace in mind while doing them - clear my mind, focus on my breathing, if my mind wanders gently bring it back, think about how my body feels etc.
- riffraff 7y agoanother vote for headspace for a simple reason: it has very little (none?) metaphysical/new age/faux-buddhist BS. Things "feel the energy of the earth getting in through your soles" kind of things, which I find deeply annoying and distracting. I am sure such things _are_ useful for some people though, so YMMV.
- h0h0h0h0111 7y agoHeadspace and Youtube were also my experience. I think a large part of getting into meditation is finding a meditation guide(?) with a voice you enjoy listening to. It sounds really silly, but certain accents (particularly ones close to my own) were quite uncomfortable to listen to, and similarly certain scripts (like you, the "energy mumbo-jumbo") were really distracting. After trying out a bunch of youtubers I eventually found some with a voice and script that helped me feel at ease, but I'm sure it's a very personal endeavour
- lilSebastian 7y agoThanks, headspace looks like a decent starting point.
