If you’ve practiced meditation before, you’ll find Primers familiar but more focused. Both help you relax and center your mind, but Primers are designed with a clear purpose — to guide you toward a specific mental or emotional state.


What’s the Difference Between Primers and Meditation?

Both meditation and Primers help you relax, focus, and reconnect with yourself — but they do so in different ways and with different intentions.

  • Meditation is generally open-ended. You sit quietly, observe your breath or thoughts, and allow whatever arises to come and go without judgment. The aim of meditation is awareness itself — learning to stay present, centered, and at ease with what is, rather than trying to change anything. Over time, meditation can help you develop mindfulness, patience, and emotional balance.

  • Primers, however, are meditation with a goal. They’re guided audio sessions that actively help you reach a specific state of mind or emotional outcome — such as confidence before an interview, focus before a performance, or deep relaxation before sleep. Each session uses visualization, positive suggestion, and hypnotherapy principles to help you enter a calm, receptive state where your mind becomes more open to positive change. In that state, you’re not just observing your thoughts — you’re gently reshaping them.

While meditation creates space for awareness, Primers use that awareness as a tool for transformation. They take you from simply noticing your inner world to consciously guiding it in a direction that supports your goals and mindset.
