Meditation Resources

I request that for at least the 12 weeks of the course you commit to and begin (or extend what you already do) a daily meditation practice, even if it's only 5 minutes each day.

I highly recommend Waking Up Course meditation app (mindfulness, nonduality, and neuroscience). It is subscription based, and you can try it for free for 7 days. If you want to continue and can't afford the subscription all you need to do is email Sam's team and they'll give you a year for free, which can be renewed yearly. Here's the LINK to check it out.

Here are some other meditation apps I recommend:

  • Headspace
  • 10% Happier
  • Insight Timer
  • Calm
  • Simple Habit
