Recommendations for guided meditations that won't make me cringe

23 hours ago 6

A beginner looking for recommendations for guided meditations on youtube.

I know this has been asked here a million times before. I've gone through the answers and tried many different channels and creators, including some that have been widely recommended like Adyashanti, Ally Boothroyd, or Jack Kornfield.

I don't like any of them. I am not sure how to express what I don't like (English is not my first language) - they all feel affected, exaggerated, almost theatrical. Both in the way they talk (so....very....calm....) and the things they say. they all talk too much, too.

What I would like is a calm, but normal, genuine voice that just here and there talks about breathing, focusing on different parts of one's body, coming back to meditating when distracted etc. but keeps quiet for the majority of time.

I find that I really need guidance but if there is something bothering me about the person guiding, I get so irritated and I have to stop. Funnily enough, the irritability and anger are why I want to meditate so badly.

I would really appreciate any recommendations!

EDIT: to answer the most common response which is not to use any guided meditation: thank you, i know you make a good point. i hope to get there eventually. but at the moment its either not meditating at all or doing guided meditations.
