Meditation and Mindfulness Apps




I've done the dirty work of downloading and trying out several smartphone apps that are either meditation or mindfulness - or they contain them. Below is the list.
During my research, I found some mental wellness apps and included those. Don't cringe if you are an experienced meditation practitioner. With a pair of headphones, these apps can be incredibly helpful in a pinch.
To someone new, they may be the one thing that finally helps them start meditating. For example, SmilingMind is totally free and has very short guided meditations with a fantastic Australian accent! My philosophy is that I have downloaded much of those where the initial is free. Therefore, between all the freebies and the actual free apps, I have an amazing collection of meditation options.

If you have an app that is not on the list, leave a comment and let me know. If you try out one of the listed apps, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. It helps me when recommending apps to others.

Happy Meditating!

Mount St Helens Memory

“Hell no, I won’t go!” is all I could think of as she blew her top, sending the mushroom cloud of ash and gases over 15 miles high into the atmosphere and 40 miles wide. Harry R. Truman was on everyone’s mind on May 18 th , 1980, when Mount St. Helen erupted. Our local legend and folk hero refused to leave his home, Mount St. Helens Lodge. He chanted that phrase repeatedly to the media and anyone who would listen. Harry was beloved by not only his friends and family, but by the entire Pacific Northwest.

Goodbye, Best Friend

  I lost my best friend on March 30 th , this past Tuesday. She was fourteen years old and literally saved my life on more than one occasion. Her friendship was invaluable.

Wise, non-harming, intelligent, loving, devoted, and so much more.  Thank you, Lilly, for being an amazing friend and honoring me with your love and kindness.
