Smiling Mind: Meditation App 4+

Fantastic, Simple & Effective

Everyone knows nowadays that mediation is effective. Even western medicine admits it had real tangible health benefits.

So the real issues are these?
1. How do I meditate?
2. How do I establish a routine for mediation?
3. How do I keep it simple, enjoyable & effective?

The answer is this - use an app like this. I love this one because a) it’s free and b) is been developed by an official mental health organisation in Australia.

It’s even got a series of simple daily questions to help you keep track of your mood and mental health. It’s got a tonne of different types of mediations so you’ll never get bored. And best of all, there’s a way for everyone.

You can either just look up a mediation based on your existing preferences; or simply pick one by random based on the amount of time you’ve got Ava right now; or of your really serious about making mediation part of your life - simply choose one of their programmes & get started today.

My own experience is this - mediation significantly reduces both my anxiety levels and stress. Furthermore, it has a noticeable impact on my mood, well-being and outlook on life. The more often I meditate (look it only takes 5-10min) and my experience is that the best results comes from meditating twice a day; the better I feel, more relaxed I am, calmer, and best of all, I feel happier,

I mean who wouldn’t want that? Given is free, takes only 5-30 mins per day and it makes you feel great.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind, informative 5-star review!!

Love This App

I don’t normally leave reviews but since I’ve been using this app for the past few years I feel I should leave one. I typically use this app when I’m struggling to sleep and almost every time, I fall asleep before the meditation finishes. I find the voice so soothing and love how they end their meditations saying they hope there’s now a smile on my mind If anyone is looking into getting into meditation I’d absolutely recommend this one, especially because it’s such good value for it being a free app! 😁

What I’ve been looking for

May 2023:
This is just what I’ve been looking for. Different meditations and programs for wherever I am at in that moment. The app is simple to navigate and without all the bum fluff. Like good fish and chips I reckon -crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside!

What’s happened?
Opened up the app this morning to do my meditation and whoops! Zero meditations available. Zero. So I logged out and tried to sign back in, whoops! Couldn’t sign in. It kept saying there was a problem. So I deleted the app and downloaded again, whoops! Same problem, couldn’t sign in at all. Funny thing is, it “welcomes” me back, except I can’t log in??? I have been going well, slowly increasing the frequency and length of my meditations. Most importantly I have felt an uplifting change. Please tell me this is just temporary or was it a 30 day access thing?
