Other paid apps:
The Mindfulness App by MindApps($1.99) The voice that guides you through this meditation takes some getting used to (it’s a little on the whispery side), but the meditation technique itself is excellent—reminiscent of some of the practices offered by Jon Kabat-Zinn. This comes as little surprise, though, as the practices are guided by Catherine PolanOrzech, who teaches MBSR at Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. The app comes with guided meditation practices of 3, 5, 15, and 30 minutes in length. There’s also a silent meditation option and a brief body-scan practice. Like most meditation apps, you can customize your meditation and track your progress.
Headspace(on the go) provides 10-minute meditation sessions, with the first 10 days available free of charge. (Then, you can choose a subscription. The annual option offers the best rate, $7.99/month.) You start with a brief body scan and then Andy Puddicombe, cofounder of Headspace, talks you through with easy banter and relatable instruction (“Don’t force your breath, your body already knows how to breathe”). The app provides animations about how the mind works and tips on how to sit and breathe. It also allows you to set meditation reminders and track your activity.
