I made a meditation myself as a birthday present for a friend in Portugal, and I recorded several blogs. I thought it was a nice assignment and it can be made with FREE software and resources. But I also discovered that it is useful to list some tips (watched a number of YouTube videos), so that it takes more time the first time, but every other will be easy. I want to share these tips with you now. Even though the lady in question did not pay for the meditation with music that she received and was pleased with \ud83d\ude44.<\/b><\/p>\n

Of course, it starts with making the recording, for which you need a number of things and a setup.
\nAnd then you still have to edit the file and in most cases add background music. I will also explain how you can do this with FREE resources.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can start selling a meditation via your webshop. You can make it part of a program or course. But did you know you can also give away a meditation to collect email addresses? <\/strong> Or are you still missing out on opportunities and turnover via newsletters?

\nConvinced?
\nCheck out my offer here<\/a>, where I’ll do a full set up for an newsletter account and you will also have the\u00a0 pop-up and\/or registration form where they receive the meditation as a gift, completely ready and for a small fee![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Good tools are half the battle. So that’s where I start. So that you know what you need in order to really create your own meditation \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

TIP 1<\/h3>\n

I have also recorded many of my own blogs and I usually did that with the recorder on my phone. But then there is quite a bit of noise and you hear a lot of background noise that you also have to remove.<\/p>\n

There are three important things when choosing a microphone:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. The microphone must ‘hang’ in wires.<\/strong> This prevents the microphone from hanging ‘loosely’ when it bumps into a table or something and therefore remains better protected in terms of sound while talking.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. There must be a kind of splash screen in front of it.<\/strong> This is not against splashing, but to prevent the hard letters like a p and a t from sounding so loud in the microphone when speaking.<\/span>
      \nIf you are recording outside, a thick, fluffy cover is also useful, so that the wind is not audible.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. See if you want something that is adjustable in height.<\/strong> Or an arm, something like a desk lamp that you can put in all kinds of positions, but then with a microphone at the end. Because we have a traveling life, I stick with the tripod that comes standard. And I put something underneath it to get it up to the height of my speech.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I have had the microphone Trust GXT 232 MANTIS for a while now. When I was looking for it, it was recommended. Today I see that you can get it for less than 25 euros\/dollars. So, a bargain!<\/p>\n

      It has a regular USB connection and it fits into my laptop. So that’s the basic set up.<\/p>\n

      Listen to a fragment that I recorded with this microphone here:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/hildijk.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sound-clip-microphone-trust-gxt232Mantis-meditations.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

      TIP 2<\/h3>\n

      There is free software available that you can use to recored and edit. It is called Audacity.
      \nMake sure you already have it installed, so creating a meditation goes a lot quicker:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n
          \n
        1. Download thee software through their website Audacityteam.org<\/a>.<\/strong>
          \nCheck which version you need. I can’t determine that for you.
          \nUsually this file is initially saved in the Downloads folder.
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Install the software<\/strong>
          \nGo to the downloaded file and go through the steps. I chose the Dutch version, so the rest of the manual is based on that.
          \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you continue with the steps, I assume that you have already written the meditation. That you have the laptop with software and microphone ready. You have then met the preconditions. And that is the starting point to actually start making the meditation.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1726609510376{margin-top: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Creating your meditation” google_fonts=”font_family:Cookie%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1739031420942{margin-top: 20px !important;}” subtitle=”Which tools do you need, and where to pay attention to while recording?”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1739032401063{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #ffa303 !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

          STEP 1 THE RECORDING<\/span><\/p>\n

          [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1739029721677{margin-left: 50px !important;}”]Open the program Audacity. You can start recording immediately. You don’t have to open a new project or anything.<\/p>\n

          \"\"
          \nTo record: Press the red dot
          \nTo stop: Press the grey\/black square
          \nTo pause: Press the 2 standing lines<\/p>\n

          Start with a test recording, say something and listen back. Normally the default settings should be sufficient. I won’t go into how to adjust that in this manual. Volume is very easy to adjust afterwards, so don’t worry about that.<\/p>\n

          Then you can start recording your meditation.<\/p>\n

          Some important tips BEFORE recording.<\/p>\n
