Meditation and breathing exercises

Free and Prime meditations and breathing exercises in the Tools section, and what a lock means.

Updated 9 October 20262 min readBy the Mytherapist.ng support team

Guided meditations and breathing exercises live in the Tools section of the Mytherapist.ng app. Most are free. Some of the longer programmes are part of Mytherapist.ng Prime and show a Prime badge with a lock until you subscribe.

Guided meditation

Open Tools, then Guided Meditation. Free and Prime audios sit in the same list:

  • Free audios show a play button and play right away.
  • Prime audios carry a Prime badge with a lock where the play button would be. Tapping one shows a prompt with a View Prime button that takes you to the subscription screen.

Prime meditations are the longer audio programmes, for example for deep sleep and anxiety relief.

Breathing exercises

Open Tools, then Breathing Exercises. The exercises made for hard moments are free for everyone, Prime or not:

  • Quick Reset
  • Calm Anxiety
  • Panic Reset

Premium programmes such as Focus Flow and Sleep Wind-Down show a Prime badge on their card. If you start one without Prime, the app says "This breathing exercise is available to Prime members only." With Prime, the programme opens its session setup so you can pick a duration and pace and begin.

"It's locked" or "it won't play"

Nothing is broken. A lock means that item is part of Prime. The free items work for everyone, and Prime unlocks the full library. Prime Individual is ₦1,000 a month; see What Prime is and what it costs. If you already have Prime and something is still locked, see I subscribed but content still looks locked.

These are self-help tools, not a substitute for therapy or crisis support. If you need urgent help, see If you need urgent help right now.

Other free tools

The app also has a free daily affirmation, the mood tracker, journaling, self-assessments and future letters. To talk to a therapist, book a session.
