There are some great meditation applications. You can find a number of medit:: app in the market now and I also know a lot of people often asking me personally about them. We'd never paid that much attention to them because we began meditating before there have been things such as apps and electricity.

 You understand I believe it's the perfect time we start to look at all this wellness that is mental that is on the market. A lot of these apps are positioning themselves not just as meditation apps but as psychological health supports. Therefore, we're gonna start to dive into that stuff today. We're gonna start with what are for me the two FREE meditation apps that are well. Now how can you review something like meditation software? So that you know obviously. It's exactly how quickly it teaches you to levitate okay, but beyond that what are we going to have a look at so into as much as two categories of facets for me i bucket it. So the first one is design and that is actually about it a bit of technology. Could it be? that is available it a well-designed tool after which one other is quality and that perhaps needs a bit more description. Therefore I'm gonna explain what I'm looking at with quality. Because you can find actually three factors it comes down to the quality of basically the meditation teachings and so that's a range experience and depth range is mostly about having many different meditation teachings techniques practices that I want to see when. You have your quiet meditation that is just sitting all of your directed meditations. You've got human body scans meditation that is loving-kindness the inner youngster maybe, some Transcendental Meditation mindful walking, mindful eating, right all the mindful eating meditations, aware cookie eating, aware pizza-eating, aware brownie, mindful chocolate eating, also I wish to view a large number of meditation teachings then experience is exactly what we glance at across range in an experience you sometimes.

 I would additionally phone this knowledge and basically, it simply does the social people making this software it do they meditate, do they know very well what they truly are doing or as regrettably is sometimes the actual situation will they be just creating a meditation app that is really an advertising platform. Or it is simply, about making an app plus they know that meditation is popular right now but they by themselves don't really know that much about meditation.

The other thing we view that the free apps perform a job that is truly great is the level and depth you want to think of depth. Depth is similar to how long would you make use of the software for or you know does it offer one thing to individuals at all known levels of training. So there's one thing there for the beginner that is absolute that has never ever sat down on their back and shut up inside their life. There is also tools here for someone that wants to do a meditation that is two-hour they are gonna usage that application to run a whole week-long. Retreat that's the depth you understand the practice can be moved by us a little but we can also dive deep into it five full minutes of aerobics. That's the same as five full minutes of meditation. It's awesome if that is where you're at yeah you can get really pumped up. You might be liked by me personally know what I'm working on simply sort of go wrong for the bit. You understand get straight down do some squats are done by some push-ups get back on the pc and head to work, simply assists me reset definitely. Perhaps for you perform a fast five meditation that is minute. Could I tell the mind to shut up stop that rat wheel that is rotating? Return to work there's so much more there to do and explore and thus make use of fitness that is real. Being an instance that is a fantastic sort of a model to follow along with like think of. If we had stopped our fitness that is physical exploration aerobics. So do not let your app stop you against that exploration this is exactly why we view depth.

You realize maybe the app gonna hold you of them costing only doing. You understand a ten-minute aerobics practice each or is it gonna provide you with the possibility to really develop a practice and just why i do believe time. That's so important and exactly why the free apps are great for that is really because it's an app that is free. Their business design does not rely on all the tools not to require the app any longer you utilising the app and actually any software regarding meditation the best objective should be to equip you. Therefore the far better apps being free we'd say are the plum village application and understanding timer. we're gonna go through the plum village software first now if you should be not really acquainted with the plum village, is really a Zen Buddhist retreat center started by Tecna Han found in the south of France. Now with groups and retreat facilities all around the global globe, it absolutely was started being a place where refugees fleeing the Vietnam War could go to heal and recover and you are aware really comes through into the practice. It is rather much about recovery and finding tranquillity leisure and a relaxed and chaotic globe that is usually traumatic.

So in terms of range, it really is narrower because it's centred on one Buddhist that is a particular tradition I'd state the product range is narrower but that is on purpose also it does this type of best wishes of addressing most of the elements of that tradition. The relaxation that is deep meditations on the plum town application would be the most readily useful undoubtedly on any application anywhere. That is you realize that is really because that's like, that is their gig, that is the simple thing they I just specialize in and are also therefore awesome at and although that years decades of experience really comes through. This software is indeed strong on level and experience while you might expect these are monks. This is certainly their life you will find recordings from many monks which are different well as stick not han and I think it truly comes during that the tmonks doing the tracks. And also how software was put together arises from an accepted place of focusing on how individuals enter into this training and discover meditation and you can really observe that experience comes through from many years of teaching people.

So there are multiple entryways based on you're feeling comfortable and that which you are looking for so they really're here meditation recordings with neuroscience explanations for you know very well what. Then there are the sort or kind of performing and music-oriented practices for folks who you know enjoy that you can find silent meditations as well and there's also a large number of practices around mindfulness. So like aware walking eating that is mindful the like so whatever kind of your many available to the app comes with something there for you on the tech and design side. They simply did a demand upgrade having a redesign that is complete. Now we liked the look that is old i believe which was because we already knew what direction to go utilizing the app currently knowledgeable about the plum village. Already knew how exactly to meditate therefore it was simple you simply opened it and you also went to it. But I do believe most likely for people who are unknown they did not understand exactly about. And so I think a lot of the things that have now been added in because of the redesign that is brand new make it more accessible and so are useful to people. That don't really know what this might be exactly about and generally are just getting if you do not know very well what plum village is that you do not understand what meditation is or anything like this involved with it, therefore yeah.

 I don't forget to test the plum town app online are meditation tracks in so far at least English and French. One thing super cool concerning the plum village application is that it's totally created maintained and built by volunteers. So thank you to the volunteers beyond the plum town software you will find shockingly few free like no cost 100% use it and run that we viewed along with it meditation apps there have been two other people. One called UCLA mindful which really seemed like it had been intended for students at UCLA. It is sort of mounted on their Health Center had a lot of links and resources regarding their health center there wouldn't actually make sense if you are not utilizing the UCLA wellness centre. But so there's that UCLA head flew you can now install it. And then there was clearly another application called Mind that is smiling has a bunch of resources especially geared towards children so that moms and dads and teachers can use them. Utilize them in classrooms and things like that, therefore if that's something you are enthusiastic about it has an adult section you might like to check that out with it too yeah. At most of the options nowadays we discovered once I ended up being evaluating them, we tried them up, they did not quite build up against the plum village application and inside timer, if you genuinely wish to take a peek yourself. But yeah they truly are nowadays and who knows where they might simply take themselves as time goes on.
