  • Great instruction in developing mindfulness

    I really have got a lot out of the step by step guidance in developing a mindfulness practice. The app has also helped me better connect with Henry’s teaching of the Dharma as it’s structured in an organized way so that I can better understand his system and how it comes together. Thank you so much! Cool graphics too.
  • Best Meditation App

    I’ve tried several of the most popular meditation apps. None of them ever stuck. The Way has resonated with me and I am starting to understand what meditation truly is
  • Practical warmth

    Headspace was an introduction to meditation for me. I also used Waking Up and found that useful — that’s where I ‘met’ Henry Shukman. He has a practicality or pragmatic flavor that’s approachable. There a warmth or joy that comes through. I think I’ll be learning some self compassion with this program. He comes across like a slice of whole wheat bread right out of the oven. 😜Sustaining and comforting.
  • Fellow traveler on the way

    I am just starting off on this new app, however I am very well aware of Henry’s work from other places. He is an incredible teacher and has great insight into the nature of mind. I have especially loved his teaching of Koan practice. I hope Koan practices are included in this app as well. I am very excited to follow his instructions on this newly launched app.
  • Perfect for beginners and beyond. Fantastic.

    I’ve been meditating, almost daily, for the past 10 years now. I used headspace for many years when I first started and Sam Harris’ Waking up for the past few years. I was so excited when I found out Henry was coming out with his own app. His knowledge and many years of experience as a Zen teacher make The Way by far the most accessible, simple, easy to use and enjoyable guided meditation app I’ve used. Henry’s is a fantastic teacher and his teachings are so simple, yet impactful that this app is perfect for beginners and more seasoned students alike. I’ve always wanted to come practice with Henry in person, but this app is the next best thing. Thank you to both Henry and his team for creating this app and making Henry’s experience and teachings so easily accessible.
  • Game changer

    It’s been a treat I look forward to digesting chapters in The Way! What an accessible journey to help people access the awareness behind it all. I’ve done many guides meditations but it was more like going through the motions without getting deeper. Thank you for creating and sharing this!
  • Makes Meditation Easy for Anyone

    After spending decades "trying to meditate," I finally found a way to "just be." No choices to make. I push one button, and let one beautifully compassionate Zen Master guide me effortlessly down a single path.

    Spend one week with The Way and you'll never want to leave.
  • The best so far

    I’ve been using The Way for a few weeks now, and so far it’s the only mediation app that I’ve been able to stick with continuously. The fact that there is just one set path to follow makes it incredibly easy to use, which I think is crucial for someone who doesn’t really know what they’re doing when it comes to meditation. The audio tracks are available in 10 or 20 minutes, and Henry’s voice has a really calming effect, so it doesn’t feel like a chore to sit for a mediation; quite the opposite - I now find myself looking forward to using it on a daily basis. I’m excited to continue on this journey and am so glad I found The Way.
  • Focused Meditation Guidance

    I’ve been testing the beta version of The Way for a bit now and it is by far the best meditation app I have ever used. The structure utilizes a single path that creates focus and reduces that anxious feeling of popping all around to try different styles.

    Henry is a fantastic teacher and his voice is also very calming. I look forward to continuing to make progress along The Way.
