Meditation Apps


I looked at several \"best meditation apps in 2023\" and liked this list a lot:

I'll add that I use Calm daily; there is a lot to like about Insight Timer and I still use that sometimes.

Ten Percent Happier Meditation is from Dan Harris, whose book \"Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics\" has helped lots of people find their way to mindfulness and meditation.

Several friends tell me they like Headspace and tends to get strong reviews for the number of options and the fun interface.
