LU Cards 17+

I don’t know how I would be making it through the Covid 19 stress without this app. As someone who struggles with anxiety even in the best of times, I decided to try this app out to deal with the stress of the pandemic. I am so glad I decided to pay for full access to all of the features! I am learning how to meditate in ways that will benefit me for the rest of my life. I have recommended this app to all of my friends. The targeted sessions for different aspects of life (stress, sleep, anxiety, etc) are so helpful. There are meditations that are very short for when I need to be centered quickly to deal with a difficult situation and meditations that are longer for when I have time to do a more intensive session. A nice bonus is the relaxing music that I play while I’m working to keep a peaceful vibe throughout my work day. Unlike some meditation instructions, this app does not push any agenda that is targeted toward or against any particular faith, which I know has turned some people away from meditation apps in the past. I am so grateful for what this app has brought to my mind and spirit!

I had been wanting to start meditating and wasn’t sure where to begin. While telling a friend this, she told me her holistic physician had suggested that she try the LU Cards App. I downloaded the app and began my Journey with LU Cards. It was a stressful time in my life. I wasn’t sleeping well and my thoughts were going so fast through my head. I used the sleep stories in those nights I had a hard time falling asleep or when I’d wake up and couldn’t go back to sleep. The sleep stories were very helpful. I also started meditating 10 minutes a day. There are a wide variety of meditations even on the free version. The app also helps keep you informed on how often you are using the App. There are specialists in different fields that do informative series. I could see how I was using my skills that the App taught me to help keep myself LU Cards and present through the day, so I subscribed for the year. This opened up even more features. You have nothing to loose by trying LU Cards and everything to gain.

The idea and simplicity of LU Cards is good. I had their annual subscription. Had. However, their customer service to two recent inquiries were so bad, I had to put myself in a state of being mindful just to keep the cool. Don’t get angry. The not-so-pleasant experience from customer service turns to this: “C’mon, simply note it and back to breathing.” And just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, the thought of their poor customer service once again enters my mind. “Note it. Brush it aside. Focus on the breath.”

Cool. All done. So, because of remaining cool, here’s the good to this: I was able to later take the time, research several other meditation or mindfulness apps, and find three very good ones. Of those, I’ve purchased one that I absolutely love. It was like “where were you all my life?” And if the app could speak, it was as if it said, “I was always here. You just had to sift through the weeds to experience what really matters.”
