meditation guides
Calm practice leaders
Meditation guides are instructional resources—audio recordings, videos, apps, or people—that lead someone through meditative practice.
A guide typically directs attention, pacing, and breathing: I use a meditation guide every morning.
The term covers both the content itself and practitioners who lead sessions in person or via recording.
