Prompt
Act as a guided meditation writer and voice director. Write a meditation ready to generate with an AI voice in ElevenLabs.
Details:
- Type of meditation: {{type}}
- Approximate total length: {{length}}
- Who it is for: {{audience}}
- Central image or theme: {{imagery}}
Deliverables:
1. Structure with timings: arriving and posture, breathing, main practice ({{type}}), integration and close.
2. The full script in short sentences, second person, sensory language and no jargon. Slow pace: one idea per sentence.
3. Short pauses with <break time="2.0s" /> (max 3 seconds per tag; works with Multilingual v2 and Flash models; with Eleven v3, use ellipses). For longer silences, write [SILENCE 20 s] to add later in the editor.
4. Clear breathing cues (“breathe in for a count of four… and slowly let it go”).
5. Voice recommendations: register, speed, stability settings and whether a soft background bed would help.
6. A short 3-minute version of the same script.
Constraints:
- No health or healing claims; meditation does not replace therapy or medical treatment.
- Open with a line inviting the listener to stop if they feel discomfort and, for sleep meditations, not to listen while driving.
- Avoid imagery that can trigger anxiety (deep water, heights) unless I ask for it.
Format: the script in one block ready to paste, with pause tags included, and the recommendations separately.How to use it
- Pick the type of meditation and the length.
- Paste the script into Text to Speech; if it is long, split it by section for better control of the pacing.
- In your editor, add the silences marked [SILENCE] and, if you like, a very quiet ambient bed.
- Listen to the whole thing before publishing and lengthen any pauses that feel rushed.
Usage example
Type: body scan for sleep · Length: 10 minutes · Audience: adults with work stress · Imagery: a beach at sunset.
Sample output
Description of the generated audio (what you would hear), not a recording.
Structure (≈10 min)
| Section | Duration | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Arriving | 0:00-1:00 | opening safety line and settling into bed; low, slow, soft voice |
| Breathing | 1:00-2:30 | breathe in for four and let go slowly, several rounds |
| Body scan | 2:30-7:30 | feet to head, with the image of warm sand on a quiet beach at sunset |
| Integration | 7:30-9:00 | the whole body heavy and calm; [SILENCE 20 s] |
| Close | 9:00-10:00 | the voice fades gradually without rousing the listener |
Script sample
"If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you can stop. Please don't listen to this while driving." <break time="2.0s" /> "Imagine you're lying on warm sand, late in the afternoon." <break time="2.0s" /> "Breathe in for a count of four… and slowly let it go." <break time="3.0s" /> "Now bring your attention to your feet. Notice how heavy they feel… sinking a little into the sand."
Voice recommendation
Mid-low register, slow speed, high stability to avoid sudden shifts. A soft bed of distant waves can help, kept very low.
This meditation is a wellness practice and does not replace medical or psychological treatment…

Frequently asked questions
Why not rely on pause tags alone?
ElevenLabs break tags allow up to about 3 seconds, and overusing them can cause audio artifacts. Long silences come out cleaner when added in an audio editor.
Can I publish the meditation in an app or on YouTube?
Yes, after checking the commercial-use terms of your ElevenLabs plan. Avoid medical claims in the title or description.
Which voice works best for meditation?
A warm, mid-to-low voice with high stability usually works well, so the tone does not shift between sentences. Try two or three before deciding.
