In good hands with Henry

Letting go and opening up through meditation can present challenges in my experience. That’s why I’m so incredibly thankful to have Henry’s voice and wisdom guide me through it. I love that there’s a single, explicit path for me on The Way (along with regular prompts to keep going)—very unusual for meditation apps. “The great way is not difficult if you just don’t pick and choose,” after all.

We have been waiting for The Way

I have tried nearly all available meditation apps, and actually use several. Waking Up gets high marks. As a guided teacher, Henry's approach is clean and welcoming. The app is equally well designed and simple for first-timers, but equally valuable to seasoned meditations. Like any practice, finding the right teacher makes a world of difference. Henry is that 'right teacher' for many including myself.

Best guided meditation voice ever

I have been listening to Henry Shukman’s guided meditations and teachings for some years now. He is really the most authentic teacher and guide I have ever had the good fortune to encounter. The real deal! And the best voice for leading meditation ever. Now I can carry his voice and the pitch perfect meditations wherever I go. Joy!!

This is the way!

If you want to not only get into or strengthen your meditation practice, but also to understand it more deeply, this is the app for you. Henry is brilliant!

The Best Meditation App Around

I feel that the internet has given us access to all the Dharma resources in the world, at the expense of clear guidance as to how to navigate them. The Way is the best of both worlds, allowing us to access authentic teachings with clear guidance across time. Thank you, Henry and team.

Superb

I’ve been a meditator, a seeker, a blundering fool, wise, stupid, clever, successful and a failure, for a long time.
I ‘discovered’ Henry through his book ‘One Blade of Grass’ a few years ago, so uplifting and refreshing. So I developed a loose connection with Mountain Cloud. The App ‘The Way’ which has emerged is quite marvellous in my view. Henry’s presentational skills are, as ever, outstanding, as is his compassion, honesty and wisdom. The App is beautifully designed and has ‘carried’ me along, at times quite magically.

A Journey To One’s Self

I’ve been following Henry’s teachings for over 3 years and have been profoundly moved by his compassion and clarity and accessibility. All of this is crystallized in The Way. Henry’s daily guided meditation holds a safe space to explore who we really are. The highest recommendation for new meditators and seasoned ones. I’ve use many meditation apps and The Way is the most direct path to deepen our journey inward.

Best meditation app

This is by far the best meditation app I have ever used. Equally valuable to advanced and beginning meditation practitioners. Henry is a master teacher who embodies the teaching. He is also very down to earth and unpretentious. I love that the app is so easily accessible - complete free access for 30 days with no credit card information and then low fee or pay what you can. The app is easy to share and I shared it with my doctor. He loves the app and is now recommending it to the medical students he teaches. Give this app a try - it will change your life.

The One and Only Meditation App You Need!

I tried a lot of varying forms of meditation from in person TM, to Headspace, to the multitude of teachers and options on Waking Up. While I have had significant moments in each and every one of them still the most significant was an awakening I experienced after practicing Henry’s Koan series on Waking Up. When I saw he had his own app I was hesitant at first because I was not enthusiastic about “another” meditation being offered on the market but I gave it a go and it has been the greatest experience with mindfulness and meditation for me to date. I highly recommend anyone from beginner to a frequent meditator to try this app and in the order it is presented, it is truly impactful. While I have fundamental disagreements over approaches presented by other teachers particularly Sam Harris’ teachings and the way his app is presented, I have nothing but deep respect and love for Henry and what he has given here.

Excellent for all.

I’ve been meditating for over 20 years. I started in Zen, I have practiced traditional Theravada mindfulness, and through Sam Harris’s app heard many non-dual teachings. Henry is one of the few teachers who has embraced the wonderful opportunity to integrate the branches of Buddhism into his own teachings. This is a very good app for beginners and experienced practitioners. And you get the added bonus of Henry’s wonderful voice and gentle presence!
