I often use Insight Timer. It's definitely overwhelming when you first start, because there is so much available! This is a very useful breakdown, Jaime!
Glad you're also using Insight Timer! And yes - I was on the app when they first came out, stopped for a while then when I got back on again, I was totally surprised by how much it had grown and how many more features there were. Thanks for your comment!
Hi 👋! Your comment are always worth reading..I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much!.....So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now..........
I’ve been meditating for a year now with headspace. The guided has came in handy to get me more experience with meditation. I think I’ve progressed beyond that now and just want a good timer. I’m trying to set the bells to go off every so often while I’m meditating to remind me to be present.
Well done, you! And yes the timer on Insight Timer lets you set “interval bells” as one of the options. I love the number of bell/chime/ bowl gong options they have too. Thanks for sharing your journey! 🙌
Yes absolutely! All the meditations and I think even the live classes are for free - the courses are available only with a subscription… also with the subscription, I love that I can download my fave recordings to listen to while I’m offline (handy when I’m in airplane mode when prepping for sleep). You can also fast forward/ rewind with a subscription). Happy you’re loving it! 🙌
Awe thank you Jaime!!! This was such a great review and I love the app as well... my favourite part is definitely the circles and the yoga Nidra circle has so many wonderful people and teachers in it. It definitely my favourite little spot on the internet to hang out 😊😊😊 I really appreciate the shout out! You are the sweetest ❤️
I also love the Insight Timer and didn't know all the features of it. I have only ever used it for the bells and timer for meditation, especially when doing it with a group, but have never tried any of the classes etc. Good to know all that it does. Thank you!
I LOVE the timer function too! All those different bells/ gongs are great. And yeah, the app is super versatile, isn't it? Check out the live events - if you like self-led meditations, there are sound baths sometimes so it's not voice-led, but still a soothing presence to be in. Thanks for stopping by, Jenn! :)

RUclips's great for meditation (and yoga) videos, but if you want more depth to your practice, it's always better learning directly from a teacher...but sometimes that's not always possible (location/ pandemic restrictions, etc), so this app helps to bridge that a bit - you can develop real-life connections with not just the teacher but also other meditators!

Thank you so much for the mention 💕 Insight Timer is the best app for sure. I use the app daily and love it! So nice that you are a teacher on there too now. ✨
i have to confess i have never got into meditation. i try it now and again but never see any benefit from it. but that is probably because i do not do it consistantly. looks great
I think it's also about finding the right style that works for you... just like asana-yoga, there are so many different styles and methods of meditations to appeal to different people. I know some people who swear by mantra-based meditations where you focus on a sound or word, or others who prefer straight-up zazen silence where it becomes 'mind over matter', or yet others who prefer to be led by voice, then given the space to "be"... which is why/ how the Insight Timer app is great as it lets you explore all the different teachers and styles and when you find one you like, you can go a little deeper with them in their courses. Just keep trying it out and give it time too. You got this! 🙌

Bless you Jaime for your wonderful review. I was amazed (as a teacher) to see my own image appear at one point in one of your screen grabs, which as a very small player on the app and having spent time with the very good IT support team yesterday trying to figure out why my events couldn't be found in search, really made my day! Bless your good work, and love and light to you.
Aww Clive! Thanks a lot! Hope you worked it out with the IT department. They really are a lovely company, aren’t they? Love and light back at you too. ✨❤️✨
I've tried a few apps, but have never found one without flaws. I wasn't a big fan of Calm. I can't remember if I've tried the Insight Timer, but I'll check it out! Thanks, Jaime. I hope you're having a great weekend! :)
Blakeford! Haven't seen you in a while... I know what you mean about Calm - it's a lot more limited on the free version and seems more geared towards sleep... would love to know what you think of Insight Timer if you check it out! :)
@@jaimetan Yes, I took a long break from RUclips, but starting to get back into it. I’ll definitely let you know what I think once I try it out. I’ve been doing my own personal meditations, but I’d love to find some that really work for me.
Wow how have we never heard of this app?! You've genuinely gotten us excited to delve into it and explore all these awesome features 😍 Btw love how soothing your morning meditation is 💛
Well I'm glad you're all over it now! Glad you liked my morning yoga nidra too - I've got a whole playlist of daytime yoga nidra's you might like too - for when you need a 15-20 minute mind break in the middle of a manic day: ruclips.net/p/PLgSmPfcaRy5_caEOpQx1ZnYo5fr6trHKr Thanks for stopping by, Ste + Rach!
Great breakdown and review Jaime! I have been checking it out this last week (so this video is perfect timing) and put out the question on my FB page asking people what their favourite meditation app is and this was the top answer by far. Sounds like beautiful energy and love that your lovely energy is on there too.
Yeah, it's definitely been on my #1 recommendation list for a few years now. Super happy to be on its platform as a teacher too! Thanks for your lovely comment, Liis. Hope you like the app too. ❤️
I wish Headspace has this community space / group feature! I know they do live events but just having a social aspect of it would benefit it. Also, I’m shocked on the free account, there is a lot of things you can do! I would definitely check out Insight Timer!
Hey Kiwi! Yeah, the free account definitely goes a long way on Insight Timer. Would love to hear your thoughts on it when you’ve had a chance to check it out! 🙌
Hi 👋! Your comment are always worth reading..I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much!.....So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now..........
Thanks for the work you do and the effort to help people. Please note, the piano in the background is quite distracting and a hindrance to following your presentation and insights.
Hi 👋! Your comment are always worth reading..I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much!.....So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now..........
i came here because after using headspace for a while, im trying others. waking up has a nice introduction course, but still mixes talks with meditations on courses. insight timer i found it to be too confusing, can't find anything inside. too many things, i just wanted some courses. and didn't see a daily meditation also.
Hi there! I can imagine how navigating some of the many offerings on Insight Timer can be initially overwhelming. They have courses - but they’re a premium/ subscription offer. You can find them here: insighttimer.com/meditation-courses Daily meditations: you can pick any of the many meditations as your daily practice on the free version. But if you’d like something a bit more structured, the app also has a free 7-day intro to meditation course you can as your daily practice to start with: insighttimer.com/meditation-courses/course_learn-how-to-meditate-in-seven-days Hope this helps! 🙌
PS. Another great daily practice/ intro to meditation is the 40-day mindfulness daily course by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield (on the premium plan): insighttimer.com/meditation-courses/course_mindfulness-daily …but start with the free 7-day course I linked to in the above comment first and see how you go!
My pleasure, Yulia! I hope this app is what you're looking for... but if not there are also other great meditatiion apps like I mentioned at 02:17 in the video. 😉
It's free to check it out anyway, so have a mooch around and see how you like it, I'd be keen to know what you think! My Insight Timer page here: insighttimer.com/enlightenedspoon Thanks Joe! 🙏
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 ..
Great insights on each app! Also wanted to add that the teachers on Insight Timer also have loads of different courses you can take (not just headspace). Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙌
I just downloaded this app today. I put in my first name and last name. It says I can hide my last name in settings, but I can't find that. Can you help?
Hey Linda! I found this from their help section: insight-timer.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/67000664913-how-do-i-edit-my-profile-information- Also - sometimes you may need to access your account profile through the desktop app to access more of the settings… so I’m not sure if you were trying through the mobile app only, so perhaps try from a computer browser too (or vice versa) and see if that works?
@@jaimetan Thank you so much, that worked! I would really like to get the PC version for Windows, or as you said, computer browser version. Would you be able to give me a link for that?
@@jaimetan Thank you! That worked! I completed more portions of my profile, and I can sit in my office chair (at home) and use my ear buds. This will be a nice break while I am using my computer too much You are very kind.

I agree. I have been using it for over 5 years, if my count right. It's been my consistent referral to my martial arts students and friends.
Lovely! Do you have any fave teachers to recommend? I love the heart opening meditations of Sarah Blondin ❤️
