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!

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. Her soul changed my life forever. I love her so much and already miss her.  Today, I created art that represented who she was. 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.
