I recommend the Headspace app. It offers guided and unguided meditations, and you can pick from a variety of topics and time. I also really love their sleep and wind down meditations.2

I'm VERY new to Meditation but highly recommend this book. Turning the Mind Into an Ally https://www.amazon.ca/dp/157322345X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_04ZKDb6VB932R0

I've had a lot of exposure to meditation during my time in the yoga world, and am generally rather resistant to it. But lately I've been seeing an acupuncturist for golfer's elbow and during my quiet time on the table don't have much to do but meditate, and have been enjoying that.
I do this version of the Buddhist Loving Kindness Meditation:
May I be filled with loving kindness
May I be well
May I be peaceful and at ease
May I be happy
May you be filled with loving kindness
May you be well
May you be peaceful and at ease
May you be happy
May all beings be filled with loving kindness
May all beings be well
May all beings be peaceful and at ease
May all beings be happy8 -

Looks like a great book, I am going to check it out. I need some readings to learn to calm myself down especially when I get anxious/worried/stressed, etc. I tend to over react/over think/be negative, etc. etc. especially during difficult challenging times.1 -

Lovingkindness meditation is my favorite. I do a version where I gradually think of people and creatures that are farther from me: first myself, then someone I love, then someone I don't know well, then someone with whom I have conflict, then all beings. I use those mantras to wish each one well. I think it helps me develop empathy to think of someone I dislike and practice wishing them well.5 -
