What type of meditation is best for stress?

For stress, breath-focused and body-based practices tend to help most, because they directly calm the physical stress response. Slow breathing, body scans that release held tension, and grounding techniques all signal safety to your nervous system. Loving-kindness and guided imagery can help too, especially when stress comes with worry or self-criticism. There is no single “best” one. The best practice is the one you will actually return to. StillMind personalises the style to what settles you fastest.
