I have discovered some meditation apps and websites that have been helpful to me. Please note that these reviews are my own opinion and I am not currently being paid for advertising these. I have linked to the original pages for you to explore their websites. Others will continue to be added as I discover more. Please share any that have been helpful for you!
Insight Timer
First up is an app that I discovered a while ago. Insight Timer is a free app for iOS and Android devices. It has guided meditation, music as well as an actual timer that you can set with bells and sounds to help you meditate. Insight Timer will even show you how long you have meditated for since using the app. Mine is currently at 260 minutes and I have used some portion of the app for 15 days. . . I told you I never remember to meditate.
There is also a paid version of the app for $19.99 per year after a free one week trial. The upgrade unlocks 400 courses, offline listening, and the ability to fast forward and rewind during videos. It is great to also just listen to something calming while doing work as well!
Rainy Mood
I am madly in love with rain sounds and thunderstorms. When I can’t watch one through the window, I use rainymood.com to get my fix. This website is so simple and plays rainy sounds from your web browser with just the click of the play button. It is so nice to be able to conjure up a rainstorm whenever I want.
They also have a free lite app available for iOS and Android and a full version for $2.99. I just use the web browser and enjoy the songs when I am working or studying. Oh yeah . . . and whenever I remember to meditate.
More meditation apps and websites will be added as I continue on my journey! Feel free to comment with your favorites for me to review!
