• 2024 Pick: Best Meditation App by Healthline, The New York Times Wirecutter, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated Well-being is a skill that can be learned. We’re here to guide you along the way. Backed by four decades of research from world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson and the team at Humin (formerly Healthy Minds Innovations) & the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, the Healthy Minds Program trains your mind through meditation and podcast-style lessons to develop skills for gaining focus, reducing stress, and maintaining positive social connections. Research with the Healthy Minds App showed that just 5 minutes a day of practice leads to a 28% reduction in stress, an 18% reduction in anxiety, a 24% reduction in depression, and a 13% increase in social connection. Featuring our scientific Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose, Well-being Framework, the Healthy Minds Program is a holistic, all-encompassing meditation app that offers the best of both guided meditations and opportunities to learn. You’ll learn simple skills to enhance personal well-being, build healthy relationships, and improve communication, performance, and creativity. –––––––––––––––––––––––––– What makes us unique?

About

Random Body Aware Meditation

Features
Read full description

Random Body Awareness Meditation is a gentle guided practice that brings your attention to different areas of the body. Follow the softly scintillating figure as focus points appear and connect across the screen, while spoken prompts invite you to notice each location without effort or judgment. Personalize your meditation by choosing a male or female figure, adjusting the level of detail, changing the pace and session length, or adding a soft focus tone. The app pauses automatically when placed in the background, and its private journal lets you record reflections directly on your device. No account, advertising, or Internet connection is required.
