THE SCIENCE BEHIND MEDITATION
People have been meditating for thousands of years. But while the practice is not new, science is just starting to fully understand its benefits. Recent studies show meditation and mindfulness can help you stress less, love more and even sleep better.
- People who practice mindfulness meditation regularly report feeling less stressed and more emotionally balanced (Tang, R. et al., 2014).
- Mindful attunement to one’s partner may promote greater relationship satisfaction, in particular sexual satisfaction. (Khaddouma, A. et al, 2015).
- Mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve sleep quality in older adults (Black, D. et al., 2015)

Customer Reviews
What happened to the surrounding content?
Been a premium user for a few months now and overall this app has been great. However the additional tab of quotes and content, access to articles was recently removed (the view?). I'm sure any analysis of usage would suggest this was a seldom used feature but it's one of those things that become habitual for those who do access it, and it really helps make the app a multiple-visit experience beyond the actual practice. I credit the product team for providing ample warning and even a modal on launch that directs users to the blog with the latest update, but I still think improvements can be made. First, there isn't a way to easily access the blog from within the app - a menu shortcut would be a huge help. Second, please keep the notification content fresh. I love the little reminders that are sent and I'm using them as a substitute for the surrounding content. But I dialed up the frequency setting to give this morning and saw a repeat notif from yesterday when I received three. So that tells me the content well isn't deep enough...yet. I'm only providing two stars so that anyone monitoring reviews might see it and take these suggestions into consideration but again I am still actively using this great app for its core benefits. Keep it up guys!
5 stars in any category
This app has seriously impressed me. It is very, very well-designed and user friendly. It is very well-curated. The layout is very easy to navigate and isn't cluttered. From a meditation/mindfulness standpoint, this app is absolutely perfect. As someone from a Buddhist country and someone who used to meditate more frequently, this app does everything right. It is easy to get into a routine with it. I love how they set you up with the first 10 sessions and include videos along the way to really emphasize certain points. The animations are also well done and engaging for the viewer. He is trying to teach you about the practice while also helping you practice which is awesome. I love the various categories and how you can apply this to any aspect in life depending on what you are trying to achieve for yourself. He also includes some scientific facts to help educate people on the importance of mindfulness which is outstanding. The subscription process has been very well thought out. They give you free 10 sessions to ease into Headspace and then a full month free trial with full access to all its features. I am more than willing to pay to continue using this app once the trial is over. I would recommend this app a million times over.
By far the meditation app for everyone
Headspace is a great solution for the average person. The majority of people are now open to this practice, but they are struggling with how to learn it. I'm one of those people. I just want it for stress relief, and to ultimately be a better person. I tried podcasts, books, videos, you name it, but nothing stuck. I read about this app and gave it a try - one month later I'm still going strong.
The app is a simple, structured approach, guided by a guy named Andy who does an excellent job talking you through the practical methods and challenges of learning how to meditate. It even includes an animation now and then to help reinforce some of the key concepts. Andy removes the deeply spiritual component a lot of other approaches take, which I think opens it up for the average Joe (leaving that path for you to take on your own time). He focuses on building the skill set and routine required for good meditation.
You get the first 10 days for free, then you can pay for a subscription, which for me personally is the best money I've spent in a long while.
