Care and support
If today is hard
You do not have to be well to be here. Talk to us, or go straight to a helpline.
In danger right now? Helplines are below; several are free and open day and night.
Talk to someone
A person from Master Within reads every message. No conditions, no expectations. We are not a crisis service and may take a day or two to reply.
SLOT A WhatsApp chat button appears here when its link is set.
When you are ready, there is a gentle way to begin: a short guided meditation to listen to, then one short read.
For the difficult days
A small, free collection to keep close: short readings and a gentle practice for when the mind will not settle.
Someone to talk to, now
If you are in danger or cannot keep yourself safe, please contact a helpline or emergency services where you are. People are there for exactly this.
