Top Meditation Apps: Mindful Relaxation in Your Pocket

May 02, 2022

No one can deny that taking proper care of our mental health will always lead to a more satisfying lifestyle. Not only can we be more productive and creative, but also happy and stress-free.

Meditation can go a long way in terms of benefits for our mind and body: reduces anxiety and boosts our concentration, helps reduce mood swings or keeps addictions away... and the list continues!

These are our top picks for meditation apps that will become pretty useful if you want to learn how to foster a positive and balanced mindset.

INSIGHT TIMER

This one has it all. The meditation guides that Insight Timer offers go from Insight Meditation to Buddhist or Secular Mindfulness. It has built-in features that will allow you to track your progress as it also offers short sessions for you to practice, learn and master the art of meditation. Insight Timer is available for iOS and Android.

SIMPLE HABIT

If you think you don't have the time to meditate, this is the choice for you. Pick a short session and allow yourself to meditate while on your way to work or school, or perhaps as you are about to go to sleep. Simple Habit runs on Android and iOS.

CALM

When our sleep patterns are broken or become irregular, the rest of our life goes out of balance as well. With Calm you'll be able to keep track of your sleep cycles and have a restoring night that starts with a beautiful bedtime story. Get Calm on iOS or Android.

HEALTHY MINDS
