The practice of meditation has been around for centuries. In simple terms, meditation uses the practice of mindful breathing and guided imagery to help clear your mind of clutter. Studies have shown that meditation is beneficial to your mental health as well as your physical health.

If you have been practising it for years or looking to get started, any number of apps here can set you on the right track to a sound mind, body, and soul.

 The mindfulness app

This app comes packed with features, including a five-day guided meditation practice, meditation reminders, personalized meditation offers, and timers for keeping you on track. There is even a health app integration capability. This is the gold standard app for anyone serious about the practice of meditation.

 Headspace

Headspace is a great app for people just starting out, with 10 newbie-focused 10-minute meditation exercises, known as Take 10. It is designed to help you quickly understand what the practice is all about. There is also a personalised progress page, a reward system for continued practice, and even a buddy system for you and your friends to help each other stay on track. Once you have completed Take 10, the app contains other meditation exercises that can be purchased in the app.

Calm

With Calm, you can choose from an assortment of guided meditation experiences. The selections range from three-minute to 25-minute sessions. Another option is Daily Calm, a 10-minute programme you can practise right before your day begins or as it is about to end. Other features include more than 20 sleep stories, breathing exercises, unguided meditations, and more than 25 soothing sounds to help you get to sleep.

Mindbody

Mindbody is where you should start. Users can search and book a multitude of fitness classes like yoga, Pilates, barre, or CrossFit. The app is also an excellent resource to test the waters with a new trainer, class, or studio. You can manage your fitness routine through an exercise tracker. There is even a section where you can access discount deals for exercise classes.

Buddhify

Users have access to over 11 hours of custom meditation with buddhify. What is unique is that each exercise is tailored to target a specific aspect of your life. Need help going to sleep? The app has you covered. Need help staying offline? Check. Need a work break? It’s here. The tracks range from five to 30 minutes. A check-in system lets you evaluate how well you are meditating and tracks your progress overtime.

Insight Timer

This meditation app features over 4,500 free guided meditations from over 1,000 meditation practitioners. It also features 750 meditation music tracks. Insight Timer also lets you customise your intervals and background sounds so that your meditation session is exactly what you are looking for.
