Thanks for tuning into my meditation app review, let me know in the comments what you think and if you have any disagreements.
I've recently started uploading practices to Insight Timer, you can follow me there: insighttimer.com/beingintegrated
I am an engineering student and thus really love Waking Up. He uses logic and reason (always relates things back to sience) which really apeals to me, not to mention that I can use the app for free!
Everyone should pay if they can. I can not at the moment and it is saving my life
@@landonlakes4782Sure bro! The meditation should be free and money should not be the barrier between you and meditation, even Sam agrees on that, it's an ancient practice and free as always
Respect for you and your recommendation on your friend. Now I have not one but two adhd meditation role models to look up to. 🙏🏼
Thank you for your recommendations. I hope you do great things with your channel.
Thank you so much , this was extremely helpful for me as a beginner.
That’s for sharing ! So informative 👍🏼🔥
damn, talk about someone who knows what they're talking about. the best review on meditation apps on the whole internet, thank you for that wealth of information. Learned a lot and got a a lot of resources and references out of this video! Definitely subbing, my new go to guy for meditation !!
Well he is a teacher
:) he's been my teacher for almost 3 years, and I'm deeply more equanimous because of his guidance. He's a real gift
thank you! this was very insightful! the only thing I would have liked to see added in the comparison would have been the price. i was a bit shocked to see they take 100 dollars. but thank you very much this was very helpful!
Welcome back! I agree with what you said about headspace
I tried it in 2018 and it was good as an introduction to meditation but after i discovered the illuminated mind book through you i stopped using it and i only use a simple meditation timer and use the instructions mentioned in the book which is so much better for me since i wanted to go deeper and make meditation a daily habit
Looking forward to the content you're going to share with us this year 😊
The book is called "the illuminated mind"? Who is the author?
@@BeingIntegrated Thank you.
Kudos for calling out the conflicts of interest cost that was the first alarm that went off in my head when I read "Meditation Teacher". Thanks!
Excellent information! Thanks so much ;)
This was a really great review of all the apps. Using calm already and loving it but also going to give 10% a try.
I just love your insight,. flexibility, and compassion. Thank you for sharing these videos ♥️
Genuinely a very helpful review, and appreciate how unbiased you were despite personal stake.
Great video, thanks. I used ten percent happier for a while and I loved it.
Thanks for this amazing video. I just subscribed
Andy’s voice is great. Your voice is great!
great video, thank you so much!
Good Video! It really helped me out!
Very helpful! I also love Jeff and that's why I am on calm 😁
Great Video i subscribe💝. Well Put together. Peace and Prosperity this New Year. 💝 Great Watch .
I highly suggest Balance!
I have use meditopia and headspace now ima try calm
Thanks you sir ❤️❤️❤️
i find most med aps are too focused on guided meditations and beginners. most experienced practitioners dont need guidance in that way and are working on practices of their own. they need apps that track their work, their experiences, their progress, and give them easy access to analytics, tools, and integration with wearable tech to integrate physiology basics like heart rate and sleep patterns.
Excellent!
@@BeingIntegrated wut
Give Mindbreath a shot.
It’s a fresh approach from audio lectures of calm, headspace that i find helps me during office hours. I use it like 2-4 times during my hours for a few minutes each. Definitely breathing exercises help and are well explained.
Plus their Hrv nervous system tools are amazing.
Hey thanks will check it out… I’ve been getting into HRV breathing so looking forward to it
I want to ask you which app pay us for guided meditation voice over??
I like the channel heal with helen and you!
After a lot of work my meditation for ADHD course is finally here! I've reviewed A TON of material and boiled it down to the most effective strategies to turn restlessness and distractibility into relaxed focus. Watch the first module free: beingintegrated.thinkific.com/courses/meditation-for-adhd
Insight Timer is Pro !! Truly marvellous !! Nothin like it !!
Calm is aesthetically very pleasing...something that one would like to have on Apple devices...Content is great... Headspace is good for hard core meditators with a lotta courses ..but the UI is a turn off ...n tends to bore one a bit ..
i've tried Calm and Waking Up. I adore Jeff Warren! I just wish I could afford the sub for Calm. :(
What are your thoughts on Synctuition?
finally. Zero dislikes!
RUclips removed the number of dislike

You’re welcome :)
Best meditation app ?? ( RUclips )
I will check out your new course for ADHD, but regarding the Calm app - this is the second time I’ve tried it, and I just get so overwhelmed I can’t do anything. I don’t know what to do. Headspace (a couple years again anyway, haven’t tried in a while), that was less intimidating somehow. Maybe the graphics, but idk. I think Calm looks pretty.
I just get indecisive/frozen by all the options. Where should an ADHD person start?
Hey! I know what you mean about the design on Calm, it’s busy with so many options. Definitely a little overwhelming. I’d say start with Jeff Warren’s 30 day course How To Meditate. It’s fantastic. Great starting point. And then you can do The Daily Trip by Jeff or explore other content.
I like the course “7 Days Of Focus.” Tamara Levitt nailed it!
I can totally relate!
in your view, which app has more content and range of content?
As mentioned in the video, Insight Timer has the most content, but also the lowest quality control on content. 10% Happier has a much better curation of content and a good variety. Calm has a lot of new daily content, and in that sense it probably has more content than the other apps. Personally though I prefer the content on Waking Up, as they have great teachers and it’s more focused on liberation.
Can someone summarize the video plz
what you thing about Meditopia?
oh, saw the date now.. headspace has a lot of teachers now xD
Yes I really need to do an updated review
can you make a video on adhd and food. i struggle with severe food addiction due to poor impulse control.
Hey I made a guided meditation on marking better habits that may be helpful: ruclips.net/video/Gl9JFIEzWTM/видео.html
#jeffwarren's schtick of having #adhd & then recently: #bipolar...it is so refreshing and eerily- closely relatable. Original even. #calm, #tenpercenthappier, & #jeffwarren have definitely changed the trajectory of my life!
What are your thoughts about Muse?
I am a psychologist in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and I absolutely love your channel. I would love to chat sometime if possible?
Thanks for your prompt reply 👍

"Waking up" is another app.
It’s reviewed in this video at 20:02
As a woman who is trying to incorporate meditation in her daily life, is not very encouraging that all the referents are males. The only women mentioned seem to contribute with their “lovely voices”, not their points of view on how to meditate. With so much misogyny in buddhism and the spiritual wold, I can’t help but wonder if these guys are really talking to me or to other male like them.
Hey I only really talked about Tamara’s lovely voice because honestly as a meditation teacher that really sets her apart and it’s also the only standout thing about her or her teaching or style. I also mentioned Sharon Salzburg for being amazing for loving kindness practices and Anushka Fernandopulle for her direct style (both on the 10% Happier app) and Tara Brach who’s amazing but only has a short course on Insight Timer. There’s other women teachers I like but unfortunately not on the apps. Hopefully more will make it soon.
…wold is spelt “world”. I am a male but I was hoping that came across in my very best female voice.
It appears that you are the perfect target audience for these types of apps…stressing over whether voices are males or females as opposed to homeless children living with their parents in their cars in the middle of an ugly Detroit winter.
Hoping you have a very Zen filled day. Try not to worry about the “little” things in life. In the end, they really don’t matter.
Just say’n.
I'm a very analytical person and I love Waking Up. I'm really not a fan of teachings being watered down or even altered altogether to cater to "westerners". Cute little animations accompanied by glockenspiel-laden jingles? Not my thing, either. Fortunately, Waking Up does neither of those things. It also undoubtedly takes the practice of meditation to a deeper level than all the rest of these apps. It's not merely about managing your stress and anxiety. Relief for those ailments can come naturally when you gain a much deeper understanding of your own mind and therefore better control over it. You can much more easily stop your surroundings and circumstances from manipulating your emotions and perception of well-being.
Totally agree, although Brightmind (which is not nearly as well known) has these same qualities and very technical meditation instruction. It’s just more focused on awareness of sensory experience where Waking Up has some nice variety.
It's so hip these days to claim your have ADHD.
Kind of like gluten.
It's so hip to be gluten free.
Love it!!
