Guided meditation script with voice: written, recorded and paced with real silence
Generic meditation apps rarely fit the ten minutes you have before a hard meeting, or the class you teach on Thursdays. This prompt has your todo.is agent write a guided meditation for your exact goal and length, record it in a slow, calm voice, and insert real silent gaps where you breathe, so the MP3 is ready to play or share.
The prompt
- Write a [LENGTH]-minute guided meditation script for [GOAL], for [WHO IT'S FOR]. Technique: [TECHNIQUE]. Structure: settling in, breath, the main practice, a quiet silent stretch, and a gentle return with a cue to open the eyes. Use simple, warm language, second person, present tense, no spiritual claims. Mark pauses in the script like (pause 10s). Then record it as an MP3 in a [VOICE] voice, very slow, and put real silence where the pauses are so the total length matches. Also give me the script as a Word file.
What to change
- [LENGTH]: 5, 10 or 20. The silences are part of the time, so a 10-minute meditation has only about 5 minutes of speaking.
- [GOAL]: E.g. "calming down before a presentation", "falling asleep", "a lunch-break reset", "letting go of a bad day".
- [WHO IT'S FOR]: E.g. "me, a beginner", "my Thursday yoga class", "nurses after a night shift".
- [TECHNIQUE]: E.g. "body scan", "box breathing", "loving-kindness", "visualisation of a quiet beach", or "you choose".
- [VOICE]: E.g. "soft, low female voice", "warm male, slight British accent".
Example result
- Guided meditation: calm before a presentation
- 10 minutes · for a beginner · body scan with slow breathing · soft, low female voice
- Script (opening and middle shown)
- Settling in (0:00)
- Find a position where you can sit still for a few minutes. Let your hands rest wherever they're comfortable. If it feels right, close your eyes. Or just lower your gaze to the floor. [pause 5s]
- Breath (0:40)
- Breathe in through your nose for a count of four. [pause 4s] And out through your mouth, slowly, for six. [pause 6s] Again. In for four. [pause 4s] Out for six, a little longer than the in-breath. [pause 6s] This longer out-breath is a quiet signal to your body that it can slow down. Three more, at your own pace. [pause 30s]
- Body scan (2:30)
- Bring your attention to your feet. Notice the floor under them. You don't need to change anything. [pause 8s] Move up to your calves and knees. [pause 8s] Your thighs, heavy on the chair. [pause 8s] Now your stomach. If it feels tight, that's normal before something important. Let the next breath go there. [pause 10s] Your shoulders. Let them drop, just a centimetre. [pause 8s] Your jaw. Let your teeth part slightly. [pause 8s]
- Quiet stretch (6:00)
- For the next two minutes, simply breathe. When a thought about the presentation comes, notice it, and come back to the breath. [pause 120s]
- Return (8:30)
- Start to notice the sounds in the room. [pause 5s] Wiggle your fingers. [pause 5s] Take one deeper breath, and when you're ready, open your eyes. You've prepared. You're ready.

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in the goal, length, technique and who it's for.
- Paste it on the Today screen or send it to your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- Get the MP3 with real silences and the script as a Word file.
- Ask for changes ("less talking", "longer silent part", "add a short ending for sleep"), or make it a daily morning MP3 with a new theme each day.
Tips for a better result
- Ask for fewer words and more silence than you think. Beginners find constant talking distracting, and so do experienced meditators.
- For sleep meditations, ask for no wake-up cue at the end so the audio simply fades into silence.
- Teachers: ask for the script in large print with pause marks, so you can lead it live and use the MP3 as a backup.
- Attach a calm, royalty-free music track and your agent can mix it very quietly under the voice.
guided meditation script with voice: FAQ
- How long should a guided meditation be? 5 to 10 minutes suits beginners and busy days. 15 to 20 minutes gives more time for silent practice once you're used to it.
- What makes a good guided meditation script? Simple instructions, a slow pace, plenty of silence, and a clear beginning and end. Avoid long explanations in the middle of the practice.
- Can I use the audio in my app or class? Yes for your own classes. For an app or paid product, check the voice service's terms for commercial use.
- Can meditation replace treatment for anxiety? No. Meditation can help many people relax, but if anxiety or sleep problems affect your daily life, talk to a doctor or mental health professional.
