Tolle App

Ich meditiere schon seit einiger Zeit unter der Anleitung von Mingyur Rinpoche und habe bereits Joy of Living 1 abgeschlossen. Mir hat damals noch etwas gefehlt – genau diese Lücke schließt die App für mich.

Besonders gefallen mir die hochwertigen Teachings aus dem Programm Anytime, Anywhere und die Art, wie Mingyur Rinpoche Meditation vermittelt: klar, bodenständig und leicht verständlich.

Die App selbst ist sehr intuitiv aufgebaut. Der Meditations-Timer mit dem Gong ist hervorragend – vorher musste ich immer einen separaten Timer benutzen, was umständlich war. Jetzt ist alles an einem Ort und die Meditation fühlt sich deutlich angenehmer an. Auch der Tracker motiviert mich, regelmäßig zu meditieren, weil ich meine Fortschritte sehen kann.

Insgesamt eine wirklich gelungene App, die das Meditieren im Alltag deutlich einfacher macht. Vielen Dank dafür – macht weiter so!

Doesn’t Work

I wish this app worked. It worked the first time. Then nothing. I’m using iOS. The organization is suffering due to this glitch. Since I can’t complete the prerequisite training that is on the app, I also can’t register for paid retreats.

My favourite app

I am really glad I found this app after I read two books of yongey mingyur rinpoche and practiced meditation with just a couple of videos of him on YouTube and after that with the balloon app. I like the amount of humour of yongey mingyur, the originality and the great structure of the lessons in this app very much. It brings me so much joy and understanding of how to live happily and aware! Thank you yongey mingyur and everyone who helped to make this app possible!
