Contact Ten Percent Happier Meditation Support

I highly recommend this app as an app for beginners. Their explanations are the best and you can start right away. Within 5 minutes you’ll be meditating and once you feel he stress lets off your body, you’ll feel a lot better. I came across this app in 2018 in a very stressful period of my life. I had this work that somehow led to a very anxious and nervous state of my mind and I had no idea how to fix it. The sell point was their 1 minute meditation. I was skeptical at first as I had already tried several meditation apps and didn’t get any of what they were about. But this one was different. I started with 1 minute meditation at home and it worked!then I did it in a subway, at work, even in the toilet. I got used to letting my stress out and it stopped accumulating in my body so easily. I managed to complete the work meditating as much as I could (like 5-8 meditations a day) and the results were great! Take your mental health very seriously and take care of yourself cause nobody will do it for you.

Overall, I love this app. I love that it’s geared toward people who aren’t necessarily spiritually minded, like myself. This approach definitely works much better for me than, say, Deepak Chopra’s approach. And I have nothing against Deepak Chopra. I just love the Everyman vibe of this program. I do have two minor suggestions for improvements, though. I have noticed that if you rewind part of a video or meditation and watch or listen to that part over again, or fast forward (maybe you watched part of it and are trying to pick up where you left off), the time is counted strangely. It tends to overcount your time. I think it’s counting the time you fast forward through, if you fast forward, for example, instead of the actual time the video is playing. I would love for that to get fixed. I also recently started downloading some meditation courses, and I noticed that the closed captioning option disappeared after I did that. So the exact same course will have closed captioning if I’m streaming it, but not if it’s been downloaded. Please fix that as well.

I dare say if you were able to quantify how much “bang for your buck” you can get out of any app out there - This has to be #1. I can’t even begin to describe how effective this little gem has been at helping me learn the basics of meditation, manage my stress, learn more about myself as a human and increase my overall well being. I purchased this in May of 2019, it is now January 2020 and I will without a doubt renew next years subscription. I have a very stressful but rewarding job and was in the verge of burnout. Now, I feel in control and have been more productive than ever. I just found that taking time each morning for the practice lead to a better day. I am now taking a beginners meditation class with a group at a Dharma center and it’s lead me down a path I didn’t even fully understand I needed and could use but I’m glad to be on it. The hardest part for me was getting in the habit of using this daily. Luckily they have SO MANY ways to integrate meditation and mindfulness into your daily life and tips to help you do it. The videos are wonderfully produced, sound quality is top notch, the teachers are very knowledgeable diverse and insightful. They are also funny and relatable and not just all a bunch of “new-agey woo-woo!” I have my favorites and you will too. This was the best app investment I’ve ever made. I highly recommend.
