Insight timer app review free#
I used to think that guided meditation was “unclean” compared to just sitting, or sitting with noise alone, but after having used some form of guidance for the past year or so, I’ve become more fond of this type of meditation – prime reasons are probably it seems more obligating when someone tells you to stay in the presence (compared to just dozing off!) and – I might as well just admit it – less boring.Īnyway, I tried out the free introductory set of guided meditations on headspace, and I really enjoyed it. Two things seemed to be the real challenge I felt the need to sit for at least 20 minutes – else wise it was deemed a “waste” or not sufficiently worth my time – and I had to stick to my own will and motivation to get the routine up and running.Īfter all – with even the best intent, it matters nothing if you cannot get it done, right? – and even if done, if it only happens once every 3-4 months, it’s not as if it can be expected to have much of an impact…Īfter prevalence of smartphones, several apps have been produced, focused on helping to build a meditation practice, offering both guided meditations and “soundscapes” for meditation – one of the better known ones, is probably “headspace” (no affiliation), which offers several “threads” of short guided meditations in a crisp, clean package. I’ve used binaural beats, I’ve listened to weird white noise compilations on YouTube, and so on and so on… Getting that routine up indefinitely is HARD! I used to either sit silently, sit silently with an egg-timer, or staring into a candle for – at minimum – 20 minutes. The app itself can be found here (free, in-app purchases are available)Įver since I stumbled upon a book on weird stuff back when I was a kid, where meditation was summed up as “self-hypnosis ” (for my danish speaking audience, here’s my post on that – I’ll get back with an English translation at some point 😉), I’ve been getting back to a somewhat regular routine of semi-daily meditation, time and time again, ever since.Īnd that’s the point, as with everything else. The following review is based on the IOS-app there might be some differences when compared to other versions, unbeknownst to the author. Or, share your ideas for staying focused and nurturing your productivity.For clarification I am not, in any way, affiliated with the reviewed app, nor has this review been condoned or approved by the makers of it. Share how it affects the way you work and how you feel in the comments below or on my Facebook page. See how it provides more peace of mind while increasing your energy, creativity, and productivity. I invite you to try this.Įnjoy this way of working and being. It seems to work best when I set the timer for 1-hour intervals and take little breaks. When I integrate this way of working into my day overwhelm melts away, I feel as though I have more time, and I am checking in and staying more focused on what I want to create. Rinse and repeat steps #1-#6 (if you have more work to do).If you will continue you working, move a bit while breathing before starting again.You may even connect with your heart and intuition. When the final chime/bell goes off, take another breath and get centered.Breathe with the first bell (bowl) and get started.Start the timer and focus on your intention for the time you will work.Set the timer and start or interval chimes.
