First guided meditation using HeadSpace app / Review - D00k13 Digest #74
First Meditation EVER
- I have never really had an interest in trying to meditate till now. Struggling with wondering/random thoughts and keeping myself focused I decided to give it a go I mean it can't hurt right?
- Just about everyone has suggested to me to try meditating, free my mind from the stress I feel on a daily basis
- Decided to try a guided meditation as I really have no idea what it is all about in the first place
Thank You @greencross

- @greencross suggested this app to me while we were discussing what has helped him with his times of struggle
- He also offered to give me his free month trial, the HeadSpace app has a free option which I am using now yet I am certain that the paid service will go much more in depth so I may take you up on this offer!
- I am glad you were able to find this option and make use of it, thanks again for the refferal
HeadSpace App
- Starting off with the free 10 day meditation basics for beginners, many packs available
- Very nice looking and functioning app, reminds you to meditate daily at the times you set
- Has a neat daily reminder feature giving you an alert with some words of wisdom to help you through your day
- Many different options, Minis - super short exercises do it anytime your free in 1 to 3 mins, Singles - one off sessions to add some mindfulness to your day, Packs - themed for specific topics each session building off the previous, even a section for kids!
- Keeps track of your time, sessions, average time, order, can even add buddies and will log it to your health information for reference with other applications
- I Love the guys voice, very relaxing to listen to
Conclusion

- I definitely noticed a increase in my focus upon completing my first session
- Noticed while doing editing that my tone changed, maybe just mimicking the voice I was listening to but I think that is a good sight of its effectiveness on me
- I will try it next time after my shower, more comfortable in my own skin, I became aware of how stiff I feel almost suddenly while I was meditating
- Guided meditation is definitely a good way to start into it, at least until I can build my internal dialog into something I can meditate to
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!?!?
- Do you meditate? Does it help?
- Suggestions for me?

Hells Yea!
I have used Headspace for over a year, although not as frequently as I would have liked too. I have around 13 hours in total of mediation cataloged, and from my experience I believe that Headspace is a fantastic app, especially if you're a beginner at mediation. The packs are unique yet structurally similar, and serve as a platform that allows you to comfortably build your own meditation techniques, mixing and matching what works for you.
Wow that’s a lot of time I’m only at 6 mins lol but has been very helpful for me starting off I had no idea what to expect!
I am seriously considering the subscription after I’m done the beginner lessons, you are right their packs look very enticing for me since I don’t like the same repedative things!
Great review, I’ve been wondering about this app and you’ve helped me decide to use it awhile. I’m also writing on meditations, feel free to check out my blog and followed list for some resources you might find interesting. Enjoy!
Thanks my friend I am glad you found my review helpful! I will definitely check you out when I get the chance. The app is quite easy to use, may give you some ideas with all the neat little features it has like the words of the day notifications just save the pic and use in you blog.
Stay strong!
I’ve been using headspace off and on for a while, the guys voice kinda got annoying for me for some reason. So I unsubscribed again recently and just try to meditate on my own to improve my focus.
Yeah I can imagine after a while his voice would become a little irritating it’s a good way to learn where to start though
@D00k13 great video. Everyone needs to learn how to relax and meditate. It really does wonders.
Yea it has been very rewarding so far, I just wish the effect were lasting... I guess that is where we get into brain chemistry and the constant feeling of spinning out of control wanting to scream!
Thanks for stopping in, glad you liked the video my friend 😊

Yeah man! Meditating is the shit. There will be days that you think you will not have time to do it, but just make the time for it and you will instantly see how you'll perform all the due tasks even more effectively. You'll have more time when you make time to meditate. It's like slowing time in the meditation process and after it.
Cheers
@greencross
Ps: I didn't watch the video tho, I couldn't make time for that :P lol
