Try a Meditation App or Podcast
Are you still unsure how to meditate? If you're unsure, consult your smartphone. Most things these days have an app, and meditation is no exception.
Guided meditations, which Bingham recommends for beginners, can be found in a variety of apps, many of which are free. She continues, "A guided meditation can help bring the active mind back to the present moment."
Apps can also be used to access:
- meditations for different situations
- calming sounds
- breathing exercises
- podcasts
- tools and graphics to help you learn more about meditation
You may also customize the app to track your progress and adjust your meditation style based on your current mood. Calm, Headspace, and Ten Percent Happier are some of the most popular apps.
