About this app

• 2024 Pick: Best Meditation App by Healthline, The New York Times Wirecutter, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated

Well-being is a skill that can be learned. We’re here to guide you along the way.

Backed by four decades of research from world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson and the team at Healthy Minds Innovations & the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, the Healthy Minds Program trains your mind through meditation and podcast-style lessons to develop skills for gaining focus, reducing stress, and maintaining positive social connections.

Research with the Healthy Minds App showed that just 5 minutes a day of practice leads to a 28% reduction in stress, an 18% reduction in anxiety, a 24% reduction in depression, and a 13% increase in social connection.

Featuring our scientific Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose, Well-being Framework, the Healthy Minds Program is a holistic, all-encompassing meditation app that offers the best of both guided meditations and opportunities to learn. You’ll learn simple skills to enhance personal well-being, build healthy relationships, and improve communication, performance, and creativity.

I've been using this app since it was recommended by my therapist. I enjoy it so far. I love that it's more grounded and real than most meditation trainings and I love the options for type and length of practices. Only marked down because I can't control the volume or pause via my headphones

Came upon this after the creator gave a talk to a meditation symposium. Fantastic app, seems so far to work well on my android. My only suggestion is, as a natural introvert, the emphasis is on connecting with others, while some of us are better in solitude. Personally, too much human interaction depletes my energy, while solitude restores it. Used this for a couple of months, I find that I fall asleep almost immediately and so I haven't had much benefit, as I don't know it can replay.

Best meditation app out there! No frills, straight into the business. Straightforward, scientific approach. Uncluttered, functional app. Great audio quaulity. Not trying to sell you extra content. No notifications on by default (kudos to that). Keeping this one! My only small wish is that I could rewind/forward by dragging the play cursor.
