Meditation Nest
If you’re hoping to use meditation for self-improvement, Meditation Nest is a good place to start. With dozens of guided programs, including ones focusing on walking, self-awareness, and mindfulness, you’ll find the set that’s right for you. The app also offers a beginners course and sleep stories, which are designed to help you drift off into deep slumber.
Simply Being
Some experts believe it’s better to meditate to an anonymous voice rather than a known instructor. If this sounds right to you, then Simply Being is perfect. A soothing female voice will talk you through a relaxing meditation that encourages you to “simply be.” You can customize your session between 5-30 minutes, and add music or ambient sounds as well. It’s particularly good for low-tech types who get stressed by too many bells and whistles, or who don’t want to pay a subscription fee.
