Brightmind Meditation 4+

I am a long time daily sit meditator who has tried several meditation apps. Been using BRIGHTMIND for close to 9 months. It is by far the best app for what ever level you are at in your meditation practice as your meditations can be customized for focus, level, and time. This app really TEACHES meditation and gives you a timer for so you can use what you’ve learned during your own meditation sit. I found my practice really accelerated when I unlocked the NOTING & LABELING section because then all the sections you’ve already experienced now have the added NOTING & LABELING instruction.

Shinzen Young is an excellent teacher whether you’re looking for the secular benefits of increased concentration, equanimity, and clarity from a meditation practice or you’re using meditation on your spiritual enlightenment path. I have found as I have unlocked the various levels that the app gives me the experiences I have had on 7day sits with Shinzen.

I happen to be recovering from a stroke which left my 20 year meditation practice in shambles. This app really helped me “remember” what my brain “forgot” and establish new neural pathways of focus and concentration, making my mind A BEAUTIFUL SERVANT, not a dangerous master.

I’ve used several other guided meditation APS and this one is by far my favorite. I am very ADD and find it extremely hard to sit still. I used to find myself checking emails, making lists and getting up to do other things during my meditation time. I now have weened myself off my medication and with Brightmind can sit for 10 minutes and listen. I’m not sure exactly what it is. Maybe it’s the fact that i can customize it. Maybe it’s the voice i chose or maybe it’s blessed with magical unicorn dust. I don’t care i just know I’m experiencing some wonderful benefits including better focus, better mood, ability to handle stress more effectively, living life in a more relaxed state, deeper sleep, better self discipline and I recently overcome a 4 month weight loss plateau that may or may not be directly related. Thanks for changing my life Brightmind!!!

I am really enjoying this app! Brightmind has helped me remain consistent with my meditation & being mindful - I set a goal to meditate at least twice per week - I started with a small, realistic goal, however I use this app pretty much daily & look forward to meditating & unlocking the next step on the app. I’ve even got my husband to meditate with me & we’ve made it part of our nightly routine. I’ve noticed I have been sleeping better at night & peacefully drifting off to sleep without the mental chatter that would so often have me tossing & turning at night. If you are considering paying for the premium access, I would recommend upgrading as i have found that it is worth it.
