Best Buddhism/Mindfulness App

As a therapist and a pastor, I find myself recommending this app to people all the time. Not only that… I actually use it. The mindfulness bell chimes on my phone every half hour (the time interval is customizable) reminding me to return to the present moment and breathe. The meditations range from 2 minutes to over an hour and range in difficulty. I use the shorter meditations to transition my head space in between sessions with clients. I often use the longer meditations to prepare for sleep.

Any beginner to mindfulness practice and/or Buddhism should have this on their phone. It is the single best resource available, and completely free.

Mindfulness reminder Bell does not work

I downloaded this app specifically so that I could have a mindfulness reminder bell because it's impossible to set up on iOS. It worked once. And I have just spent the last three hours waiting to hear the bell go off even though I have followed the instructions now twice and nothing happened.

Plum village zen meditation

I have listened to many of the guided meditations and i have found them all to be incredibly helpful and of tremendous comfort to my life. I am deeply grateful that this exists to help us all. It is a gift of pure joy and love.

By far the best meditation app out there

I so love this app. It’s free to all, doesn’t blast users with ads, and is well designed. I’ve paid for several of the big ones, and they don’t compare to the quality and accessibility of what’s offered here. If you are able, please donate to support this wonderful offering to the world.
