## What is Meditation Without Borders?

Learning meditation is easy and enjoyable with the Meditation Oasis® Learn to Meditate app. You will be able to meditate along with the guided meditations from day one, and have all the support your need to address any questions or challenges you may have along the way. By the end of the four weeks, you will have everything you need to continue meditating on your own. 

The lesson sequence is designed to help you achieve a meditative state naturally. This meditation style does not require concentration or mastering complicated instructions. You will simply be tapping into a natural ability already within you. 

"I find your course to be a wonderful and peaceful experience. Thank you for making learning to meditate so easy to understand. I used to worry that I wasn't 'doing it right' because my mind would wander but your materials have made me realize that this is a normal part of meditation." -- Joanne

It is compatible with any culture, philosophy, beliefs or lifestyle. People of all ages and from all walks of life can do this meditation.

### 5/5 — Awesom

*2023-01-08, version 3.50*

Awesome app

### 5/5 — Wonderful, but…

*2022-11-20*

Super easy quality meditation guidance, but suddenly two weeks ago all the graphics are blacked out and can only see a ghostly appearance of them on my ipad.  Tried reinstalling, to no avail, all other apps OK on my ipad.

### 5/5 — Amazing meditation sessions

*2021-02-14, version 3.41*

I’ve used all the big name meditation apps and am incredibly impressed by this one. Some of the best instruction I’ve ever encountered. It is very calming, and the instructions are more true to how a guided meditation should be. I actually felt happier afterwards which is rare. Usually calm is what I get from other apps. But I actually felt more happy with myself and the world after each session.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2018-04-16*

Just listened to the first guided meditation . I feel relaxed and rejuvenated

### 5/5 — Happy as a clam.

*2018-04-01, version 3.3*

Actually, I don't know if clams are happy.  But i know that I like this app even though, oddly enough, I am a long-experienced meditator.  The guide's comments make me smile in recognition, and I like the interface and music, to boot.

Update:  now I'm happier than a clam.  This ap has become a daily companion for weeks now.   I really appreciate it.

Second update:  clams now seem dour, by comparison. I have used this for months and like it even more now than I did when i first reviewed it.

Third update:  bless the clams, and guide them gently to serenity.  I have apparently owned this for over a year now and still use it regularly.  Indeed, it comes out when I'm getting tired and need a quick recharge.  Like a few minutes ago.  After working for hours.

Fourth update:  By now I've owned this for several years, and still use it often.  My meditation practice has continued to grow, to the point that I once (but only once, so far) actually reached the first Jhana ... although I'm not sure I spelled that correctly, and no clam can tell me!  Yet, I still like and use this app. to get refreshed.  The narrator seems a splendid guide.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2018-02-10*

Just what I needed to get started!!

### 1/5 — Would be nice if it worked

*2017-11-03, version 3.3*

The primary app to help you learn to meditate doesn't even play. Pressed play about a hundred times. Still nothing. Restart, nothing. Re download, nothing. Good thing I paid money.

### 5/5 — My favorite

*2017-10-23, version 3.3*

This was one of my all time favorite apps. I used it for years. Literally. It put me on the path to real meditation. Not self help but true meditation. Unfortunately the app stopped working about 3 months ago. I downloaded it again. Yes paid again. Yes. This app is that good and it still would not work. Sad face. If you download this and it works you will be ver happy!

### 5/5 — Excellent introduction to meditation

*2017-09-01, version 3.3*

This app is a great resource to learn to meditate.

### 5/5 — Meditation Oasis

*2017-08-05*

I have been listening to Meditation Oasis podcasts for years.  When I discovered their range of apps, I purchased the bundle and have not been disappointed.

My sister has recently decided to start a meditation practice and asked for beginners advice.  RIchard and Mary's learning app is where I sent her to start with.  

And I'm glad I did !
