    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!

    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.

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  Год назад +1

      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! 🙌

    Used for sleep last night. A surprisingly large amount of content is free. Love it so far.

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  Год назад +1

      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!

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  3 года назад +1

      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! :)

    I've always used RUclips to help out, but this app seems really good! Might give it a try, I love the calming ambient noises.

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  3 года назад +2

      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!

    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

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  3 года назад +1

      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! 🙌

    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.

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  8 месяцев назад +2

      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! 🙌

    • @jaimetan
      @jaimetan  8 месяцев назад +2

      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!
