Meditation Resources

I highly recommend Sam Harris' Waking Up Course meditation app (mindfulness, nonduality, and neuroscience). It is subscription based, but I'll send you an invitation for a free month of the app. 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 referral link to active your free month: https://share.wakingup.com/d10bdc090360.

Here are some other meditation apps I recommend:

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