My Favorite Meditation Apps
It may seem like a bit of an oxymoron to plug-in in order to unplug, but if you're new to meditating, a meditation app is an easy way to learn how to relax, decrease stress, and even improve your brain function.
According to a study published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging and run by Harvard researchers, "Participating in an eight-week mindfulness meditation program appears to make measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy, and stress." Below is a list of my four favorite mediation apps that will help you to establish a regular mediation practice.
"Your goal is not to battle with the mind, but to witness the mind.".

10% Happier
This is my favorite meditation app. It does cost $99 a year but it has the best meditation teachers in the business and is wonderfully organized. For those who want a curated easy way to meditate at a relatively low cost, this app is for you.
Insight Timer
This app is FREE and has thousands of guided meditations including those from many of the teachers in the above app. It's a good place to start to see if you enjoy meditation.
Andrew Johnson
Andrew Johnson has an almost hypnotic tone and an ability to relax the listener faster than any other app I have encountered. Apps range from FREE for the basics to $19.99 for the whole suite of apps. I recommend starting with Relax for FREE to see if it works for you.
