So having a timer of say 10-15 minutes and meditating would be preferred over apps like Headspace, Calm, etc even though they have guided meditation? Isn't that risky? I don't have any medical conditions but reading this article has made me somewhat wary.
- enneff 6y agoI recommend you check out Sam Harris’ “Waking Up” app. It contains a very gentle guided introduction to mediation, and has a ton of audio content which discusses meditation in its many forms and adjacent topics. If you are wary then listening to the introductory stuff should make you more informed.
- starwatch 6y agoI second this. "Waking up" is less of a meditation app, and more of a collection of tools to help you explore consciousness. In addition to the meditation content, the tools include interviews, walks through stoicism and even poetry.
