In this fast-changing world, we need to take time for ourselves — to revitalize our body is a must. Meditation is an approach to train the mind, similar to how fitness is an approach to condition the body. In this article, we are listing down five meditation apps that surely work and are very accessible. Plugging in for “unplugging” may seem like an oxymoron, but using an app to practice your meditation will save you time and money.
Inhale, Exhale, and find your inner peace with these apps!
Headspace
Learn the life-changing skills of meditation in just a few minutes a day with Headspace. This app is your guide to health and happiness. It can help you focus, breathe, stay calm, and create the conditions for a better night’s sleep by practicing meditation and mindfulness. This app is free for both Ios and Android users.
“At Headspace, we see meditation as both a practice rooted in ancient history and a topic of modern science. Therefore, we are equally committed to providing authentic expertise in meditation and also studying the science of meditation.” – Headspace Team
Calm
Calm is the perfect mindfulness app for beginners, but also includes hundreds of programs for intermediate and advanced users. The app is free to download and use, and there are no ads. It’s a soothing, well-rounded app perfect for people with anxiety and insomnia.
“We’re The #1 app for Sleep, Meditation, and Relaxation, with over 50 million downloads and over 700,000 5-star reviews. We’re honored to be an Apple BEST OF 2018 award winner, Apple’s App of the Year 2017, Google Play Editor’s Choice 2018, and to be named by the Center for Humane Technology as, “the world’s happiest app.” -Calm Team
Buddhify
If you are looking for calmness, clarity, and kindness to fill in every part of your life, this app is for you. This app is easy to navigate, easy to use, and very, very satisfying. Buddhify shows you how to bring mindfulness to all parts of your life with exercises for whatever you’re doing and wherever you are. Whether you’re traveling, taking a break at work, or going to sleep, this app will help you find calm in any situation.
We believe that the purpose of a good meditation app is to help you get to the point where you don’t need a meditation app. That goal of helping you become a creative, independent meditator is why buddhify has an upfront cost rather than the more common monthly subscription model. –Buddhify Team
Breethe
The secret’s very much out of the bag now. Meditation isn’t just for hippies and mystics from the East. With this app, you can deal with life’s challenges with guided meditations series, inspirational talks and classes from mindfulness coach Lynne Goldberg & New York Times bestselling personal growth experts. The app’s sleep music playlists, nature sounds, and bedtime readings will teach you how to enjoy more sleep.
Simple Habit
Achieve that calm and happy mindset within five minutes! I know you might think it’s not possible. But with this app, it sure is! Simple Habit connects you with the world’s best meditation teachers, from mindfulness experts at Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute Google to former Tibetan monks. Guided meditation can improve your life through stress relief and increased focus.
