Applications for your smart phone

 Have a smart phone or tablet? Try these free apps and online resources:

Mindfulness Training App - Created by Sounds True, a major publisher of meditation books, audio and other media, this app gives you a taste of teachings from key mindfulness instructors, including Jon Kabat-Zinn, the pioneer of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and others. If you’re new to meditation, this app is a great opportunity to get a more intimate understanding of what it’s all about.

Stop, Breath, & Think - This app offers a solid sampling of the basics of meditation, featuring a range of exercises at varying lengths, ideal for short practices at work and longer sessions at home.

Insight Timer - A meditation timer that doubles as a mindfulness guide. Users can share their meditation times with their friends and check in on others users meditating in the area.

Meditation Timer Pro – Easy to use. Pick a length of time to meditate, set reminder noises for starting and ending your session (perhaps a chime to begin and galloping hoof beats to end), and you’re ready to meditate.

Omvana - Easy to use, just click through to the guided meditation of your choice.

Headspace - Beginners start with Headspace’s Take10 program to learn meditation basics in 10 minutes a day for 10 days. You can subscribe to broader programs to work on specific issues like sleep or relationships.

Calm - Beginners can learn the basics of mindfulness meditation with the app’s 7 Days of Calm program.

Aura - Get a new, personalized, three-minute meditation every day. The app also

has relaxing sounds and a “mindful breather” feature.
