Started up meditating again and restarted the 12 steps, when I completed the second day there were a few hiccups during the session where it paused for a second and then paused and actually tracked back so the speaker repeated himself. Then when I got to the end, it paused and stopped and went back to the beginning and never recorded that I actually completed the session. So it says I still need to complete step 2. So I went ahead the last two days and just went for meditation timer since I had already been through the 12 steps and 30 day challenge a while back. It doesn’t show on the app, nor on my iPhone health or fitness that I’ve completed any sessions these last couple days. And I’ve double checked that I’m synced. Just some minor bugs, the meditation is for me whether it shows up as “recorded proof” or not. But something to look at maybe.
The Best Meditation App I Have Used. Possibly Best App I Have Ever Used.
MikeStens
This app is fantastic. It teaches you a form of meditation, Transcendental Meditation or TM, which is a form of mantra meditation, that has been practiced by yogis for thousands of years. It does not require effort nor clearing your mind of thought, only a gentle a gentle awareness of the mantra that is given. When I do this meditation, I find I can go more easily into a deeply calm state than other forms of meditation. I still times I struggle with racing thoughts, but I have learned this is ok and is just the nature of the mind. I have struggled with anxiety, depression, being overly-sensitive, and physical pain for many years, and this meditation has helped me change my outlook on these struggles and has brought a love and light into my life I never knew possible. I believe that consciousness is the foundation for everything we do in our lives, and by practicing meditation we are cultivating conciousness. Therefore, I cannot recommend this app enough. Give it some time, at least a month of daily practice and I believe you will notice a positive shift in your life. Also, thank you to the beautiful souls at 1 Giant Mind for making this app free! Gnerally, if you want to learn TM, it is taught by the TM Center and they charge at minimum $420 to learn it. It is a generational practice so I understand that they have to pay their teachers to teach it properly and run a business, but at the same time I think meditation should be free! For all! Anyways, after trying out TM on through this app I may pay to learn it there to deepen my practice, but I believe this a great place to start and maybe all you’ll need! I’ll leave you with a quote from Carl Jung, “Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens”. God bless.
Terrific App

Don’t look any further than this app if you want to learn to meditate effortlessly and have deep meditation. I’ve had decades of experience with meditation and during that time explored and practiced many different techniques, and nothing exceeds this for what it promises. Excellent guidance during each of the 12 steps explaining what may happen during your sessions. There are lots of FAQs to address issues and concerns you may have. Options are available for how long you want to meditate for, and whether you want background music to play or not. Whatever you choose each session gives guidance at the beginning of your sessions to lead you into proper practice as well as guidance into ending meditation. It’s like sitting with an expert who is always there to ensure good practice is established and maintained. 5 stars aren’t enough. I salute whoever came up with this, and am grateful they aren’t looking to exploit people who think they have to pay a lot of money in order to learn an effective technique. Don’t waste money on anything else when you can get the best there is for free.
I like this better than headspace
Donger92
I’ve been using headspace for over a year and wanted to give this a shot after researching mantra meditation. I would like to preface this with the fact that I’ve only been on this app for 6 days. There are some clear and subtle differences between the meditation promoted in headspace and 1GM:1) “gently return after noting” vs “effortlessly return”: I find that the latter (1GM) prevents me from experiencing tension while the former (headspace) seems to almost ask me to put an effort to return to my breath even if my mind wants to explore the distracting thought a little more. In 1GM, it’s perfectly okay to let the emotions and thoughts play out. Headspace, although not quite explicit in it, has a more judgmental attitude to these thoughts and emotions. These two phrases are further elaborated upon in the respective apps.2) “breath” vs “mantra”: sometimes the breath isn’t enough to keep me grounded because of the mental activity in my brain. The mantra helps me center that residual mental activity further as I synchronize the mantra with my breath.
