Monster Meditation is a series of animated Sesame Street shorts created in collaboration with Headspace, a paid subscription app which offers meditation services. The company co-founder, Andy Puddicombe, lends his voice and likeness to the segments as Elmo's friend Andy. The shorts were released on the Sesame Street YouTube channel in 2020.
A companion series of books (offering a free Headspace trial with purchase) and a podcast were also produced by Sesame Workshop and Headspace.
