There are many forms of meditation. The particular forms being popularized by these apps actually is of the more difficult forms to achieve. Revealing my age, back in the mid 70's when I became interested in meditation, I surveyed the available forms. There was a lot more readily available information on mediation back then, without the click-baiting poor journalist wrapping too. All the information back then was organic and authored by the practitioners themselves. Anyway, I choose Transcendental Mediation because of the form of the meditation: one is assigned a nonsense mantra phrase, which the meditation technique is nothing more than finding a comfortable position, closing the eyes, and repeating the mantra in one's head for 20 minutes. Thing is, after about 5 minutes a complete psychedelic trip occurs; the nonsense mantra fills your head with nothingness, no logic to "think". After 5 minutes your brain just trips. I'm aware of the mantra's echo, but I'm in fractal landscapes skipping tra-la-la with Bambi and blue meanies. Really. This is why I think all these meditation apps are a joke, as they impede too much, they guide too much to enable experiences as I get when I meditate.
