How to record a body scan meditation

Plan, capture, edit, and finish a body scan meditation with a browser-based spoken-audio workflow built around calm guidance with deliberate silence between body areas.

By The Hilite team

01 — PLAN

Define the listener experience

Mark each body area and time the pauses so the listener can follow without feeling rushed.

The target is calm guidance with deliberate silence between body areas. Decide the length, sections, and final destination before recording.

02 — SETUP

Prepare a repeatable recording space

Choose a quiet, soft-furnished room. Keep the microphone a consistent distance from the speaker and remove preventable noise before using processing.

03 — TEST

Test the voice, room, and levels

Record a short section at realistic volume. Listen for clipping, echo, plosives, background noise, and any change in tone when the speaker moves.

04 — RECORD

Record in sections with clean retakes

Capture a body scan meditation in manageable sections. When a mistake happens, pause and repeat the full sentence so the edit is easy to locate.

Keep the original recording until the final version has been reviewed.

Capture spoken audio in the browser.

05 — EDIT

Edit through the transcript and finish the audio

Use Hilite to locate spoken mistakes through the words, remove unwanted retakes, improve clarity conservatively, and review the full recording before export.

Find and tighten spoken sections through the transcript.
