Find gentle support with calming meditations for M.E./CFS, Long Covid and chronic illness, including pacing, rest, sleep, pain, low energy and post-exertion recovery.
Paceful is a meditation app designed specifically for people living with chronic illness, M.E./CFS, fatigue, flare-ups, pain, sensory overwhelm, and post-exertional recovery.
Unlike generic meditation apps, Paceful is built around low-effort, low-stimulation support. Sessions are gently paced, easy to follow, and designed to help you settle without pressure, performance, or the need to “clear your mind.”
Whether you are resting after activity, managing a difficult symptom day, preparing for sleep, or simply looking for a softer moment of calm, Paceful gives you meditation tools that meet you where you are.
What Paceful Includes
Guided meditations across five calm styles:
Body Scan, Breath-Based Calm, Check-In, Guided Relaxation, and Visualization.
Sessions for different needs:
Sleep, Acceptance, Pain, Energy, and Post-Exertion Recovery.
Flare Support:
A simple, easy-access mode designed for moments when fatigue or overwhelm makes navigation feel difficult.
Optional ambient sound:
Add Forest, Rain, or Beach ambience beneath supported meditations for a more immersive experience.
Browse by guide:
Choose sessions by voice so you can return to the guides that feel most soothing.

Track time spent meditating, streaks, common practice times, and your personal account details.
Made for Chronic Illness
Paceful is intentionally gentle. The app avoids overwhelming layouts, intense demands, and achievement-based pressure. It is made for people who may have limited energy, brain fog, sensory sensitivity, pain, or fluctuating symptoms.
You can start with free guided sessions, then subscribe to unlock the full library, all voices, ambience options, monthly new meditations, and ongoing updates.
Paceful is not a medical treatment or replacement for professional care. It is a supportive meditation companion for rest, pacing, and nervous-system settling.
