THE WAY is a new kind of meditation app: a single path, led by an authorized Zen master, that guides you on a deep meditation training program. Study alongside Zen master Henry Shukman as you uncover the deep peace, love, insight and awakening that meditation can bring.
The simple path to deeper meditation.
With THE WAY, you will:
*** Never feel overwhelmed by choice. The Way guides you step-by-step along a single, linear path through all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. You never have to worry about which meditation to choose.
*** Experience real transformation and deep wellbeing. Progress along a proven pathway of meditation that helps you to awaken to the true nature of your mind, your self, and your relationship to the world. Explore Zen koans, non-dual awareness and other awakening techniques.
*** Benefit from an authorized Zen Master as your guide. Study with a beloved teacher with over 35 years of meditation practice. Learn Henry Shukman’s innovative fusion of modern mindfulness, Jhana practice and Sanbo Zen teaching.
HENRY SHUKMAN teaches mindfulness and awakening practices to a wide range of students from all traditions and walks of life. Henry is an authorized Zen Master in the Sanbo Zen lineage, and is the Spiritual Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His struggles and traumatic experiences as a youth, combined with a spontaneous awakening experience at 19, paved the way for Henry to develop a well-rounded approach to meditation.
On the journey of THE WAY, you can learn to:
*** Calm the nervous system, reduce stress on a daily basis and release trauma over time
*** Uncover previously unknown support and gratitude in our lives
*** Access beautiful states of flow and absorption during meditation
*** Get tastes and glimpses of awakening - insights into your own true nature, and discovering what non-duality really means, and the deep freedom and joy it can give.
THE WAY works through a series of daily guided meditations and talks along a single path of practice. Through these guided meditations you will explore with Zen Master Henry Shukman: teaching from ancient Buddhist traditions, finding peace and unconditional wellbeing in the heart of our lives, learning how to sit with and process negative emotions, healing from past traumas, uncovering deep joy in the bare fact of being alive, discovering a deep and connected presence, understanding insights into non-duality and awakening to the true nature of reality. All grounded in modern mindfulness and ancient Zen wisdom.

I can’t recommend this app enough. After trying on and off for years to start a meditation practice. This has been the only one I can fit into my life for the training, and getting a routine of sorts. You don’t have to think about what meditation. There’s no choice, which is one less thing to think about. You just put it on, and you carry on your journey. You can also select how much time you have. This is a game changer. Instead of avoiding your practice because of time restraints. You can do simply 10 mins. On busy days, I can find this time, keeping me at my practice. If faced with 30 mins, I’d pass and then fall off the meditation path. I now look forward to a morning and evening session (never a set time) This is changing my life in more ways that I ever expected. I’m getting less reactive to life. I’m making better choices. If you’ve been struggling with meditation, this app is by FAR the best I’ve found. And I’ve tried to meditate on and off for a decade! It works!
Simple but effective

I’m still quite early in my journey on the way, but I have dabbled in meditation many times before, establishing a practice but then getting out of the habit. I’ve been trying to get back into it and trying different meditations on other apps. I didn’t really want to buy another app, but was so taken with Henry talking about meditation on Dr Chatterjee’s podcast that I thought I’d have a look. Getting 12 free sessions and looking forward to the next session was what made me buy the annual subscription. I love the fact you follow a path already laid out for you, you decide how long to meditate for and the session is ready for you, no scrolling through the many different options out there which at one time I liked, but at this point in my life, this is what I believe will develop my practice and maintain consistency.
Simply the best meditation app

I tried that app out over a year ago now, following a recommendation from Tim Ferris. I had previously been using the (also excellent) Sam Harris ‘Waking Up’ app for around 5 years which consolidated my daily meditation habit. I wanted to try a different teacher and after listening to several interviews with Henry Shukman I liked his quiet and reflective British style and tone. I also wanted to follow more of a guided pathway which this app provides so well. Uncluttered, simple and each day refreshing. The visual design and simple interface is also a pleasure to use. I could not be more pleased with this wonderful meditation app and recommend it to anyone reading this review.
Just what I’ve been waiting for - subscribed immediately

I’m a fairly experienced meditator with interests and experience that includes non-duality practices, koans, and basic mindfulness. I’ve tended to bounce from one approach to another to see what works best for me, without being able to bring these methods together. The Way provides the fully integrated and combined approach that I’m looking for. The fact that it is being taught Henry is fantastic. I’ve never felt better guided or relaxed. His sessions on another app were always my favourites by far so I was very excited to find out that Henry now has his own app. I did not hesitate to subscribe and can’t wait to continue along The Way!
In this update, we have included several bug fixes throughout the app.
We hope this helps your journey on The Way!
With love and thanks,
Henry
