I’m interested in trying meditation for mental stability, instead of medication. Are there any resources you’ve used to help support yourself through meditation?

Nope but good luck OP, that sounds like a healthy decision

Thanks a lot. I've heard that it can be helpful, and I'm trying to make mental wellness a priority rather than waiting until I'm super out of balance.

I used an app called Headspace based on a recommendation from a trusted friend in the holistic/natural medicine space. It does cost money but has a free trial you could use first. Let's you track moods, select different meditations, has breathing exercises. Might be a place to start.

I used it for about a year. Definitely saw some improvement. I like to start the day off with breathing and fall asleep to a meditation. Either method works to help me reset when frustrated. The app has a lot of great tools too for beginners.

Headspace or calm for app. Start slow (do 2-5 mins in the beginning) and be patient with yourself. It takes time and consistency.

Thanks! That's helpful. I'm curious how it will be to try to silence my other thoughts. There are a lot of them...

Have you ever tried attending yoga classes? I did once and it really helped me with my mental strength, emotional control and meditation. When I got familiar with the routine I stopped going to classes and do it on my own. I just turn on some relaxing music controlled my breathing and start meditating.

I use this app called Aura. It provides three-minute daily meditations and allows you to track your mood and help you figure out optimal times to meditate.

Hello! Insight Timer has it all—meditation music, guided meditation, and a customizable meditation timer. Hope this helps.
