See the other post about this dolly. There was a couple recommended and I have start d using them. Stop think breathe app - free but you can buy add on for small
Amounts eg £1.49 I've found this very good
Also insight timer has a big range of meditations and I've used only free ones

If you search - relaxation cd - in Amazon, there is a selection of them to choose from.  I like the wellbeing one and it certainly helps me get off to sleep when I need it.

My adult education run a lot of Mindfullness courses so might be worth checking out? Also there's an online course my son did ( it costs!) that he found useful x

babyjane,  the Stop Breathe one I said about can be used on the computer. If you were able to view it on the computer it might give you ideas on how you can use it. It has a very good intro page that explains how it works and that might be enough to set you up.
