I’ve been using some meditation apps lately and have found a lot of benefits in doing so regarding increased focus and attention skills. They’re also a positive use of technology in establishing beneficial mind habits and awareness throughout the day/night.
One thing however is that you need to know how to tailor the app and method to your particular routine and persona style.
I’ve found a good way to use Headspace in particular, since I took out a yearly subscription (not paid to promote this). Headspace has been great as an intro to basic concentration and mindfulness meditation proper (Pasted below from my journal):
I save the Courses and short Exercises for coffee contemplations and exercises with writing, because these focus on questions and enquiry. They contain only a partial mindfulness routine and run from 10-15 mins.
I use the Daily Meditation and the initial Beginners/Advanced Courses for formal practice 5-20m as this contains the full mindfulness routine and lends itself to a formal seated or laying practice and establishes a habit and tendency for mindfulness to become automatic.
Will post more on apps in future.
