I use Waking Up for guided meditations (if you can stand Sam Harris). There are a few promo code around Google for a few free weeks. It's a 'how to meditate' course followed by daily meditations, with a bunch of podcast-style interviews and collections of recordings. The course has really helped my shape my meditation practice, and I usually do the daily meditation, which has really helped me focus myself.
(Another guided meditations app is Plum Village - free, but a bit worse quality, with a bit more random order of things.)
- jebarker 4y agoI second the recommendation for Waking Up. I previously tried Headspace and Calm, but Waking Up was the only one that stuck for me. I think the difference was the structured nature of the introductory course, good intuitive explanations from Sam Harris and the accompanying "theory" discussions and talks.
- a_bonobo 4y agoThat's a good point! I've been reading up on various books Sam and other 'meditators' cite, and he does seem to have a nice approach where he takes 'the best' from various schools of thought and meditation, across Japanese Zazen and Indian Buddhist meditation.
