Alright, well this app isn’t technically a “purchase” yet, but it could be in the near future.
What is Headspace? It’s an app that can be downloaded for free on your smart phone. It’s exactly what it sounds like: A meditation app. It has prerecorded meditation sessions that help you control your breathing. The first series, “Take Ten” is a ten-day program that only requires ten minutes a day. Tomorrow, I will be on Day 6, and after I’m done with all ten, I can buy a subscription that’s roughly $7 a month, I believe.
After taking a few moments out of each day to meditate, I have a few thoughts about it. Even though this is supposedly normal, I am having a very hard time focusing. There have been a few times that I’ve had clarity and absolute calmness, which I think is promising. I think the act of meditation/reflection is such as lost thing this day and age. After almost every session, I feel refreshed and alert. I honestly think the subscription would be worth it, but I’m going to do some more research about it first. An article briefly describing Headspace can be found here.
It’s crazy how much time of my life is spent doing mindless activity, when I can take the time daily to meditate. I will update after I make the decision to subscribe or not!
