Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom

The app is great. It’s been more than 6months I am using this app. Contents are rich and like the structure as well.
Cs experience is one of the best as well

I’ve tried to get into mindfulness many times in my life. I certainly cannot say I have now, but the app and the content on the app has helped me maintain a consistent habit of mindfulness for over a month.
I used to think that guided meditations were futile and that you should be able to meditate without help. I see now how important guided meditations are for building a habit and understanding of the practice. They’re extremely useful and with the skills you learn you can bring the techniques into your daily life and practice them on your own.

I used the app mostly for my daily meditations and really enjoyed it. The meditation grounds you into reality through checking in with sounds, breathing and feeling and the feeling (or lack of) self.

The app has genuinely improved the way I approach each day. Sam’s teachings are clear and insightful, helping me feel calmer, more present, and curious. Grateful for this app and the positive difference it continues to make every day.

Titel says it all. For my money it’s the best meditation app. I like how its accessible and at the same time thorough. It takes mediation seriously. Iv been looking for a way into meditation that’s broader than just a relaxation technique. This is perfect for me.

Since starting to use Waking Up, my approach to meditation and thus life has changed dramatically. I’m feel more connected and grounded in relation to my surroundings.
I meditated before, also with the support of other apps, and Waking Up adds a another layer by giving context and theory.
The introductory course was my starting point (don’t give up) and now I’m doing the guided daily meditation almost every day of the week, with additionally extra courses and theory.

Cannot recommend more for people who are already familiar with mediation but want to go deeper. Been using it daily 3 years. I come from headspace.

I’ve had this app for a long time, mostly for the content other than meditation, and I find myself coming back to it for periods.
One thing I miss now, is the daily quotes. I have the widget on a minimal phone Home Screen, and save the quotes I like. Is it coming back? (Now the widget is just blank)

It is secular enough to get my attention and esoteric enough to talk about the “illusion of self”. This is an incredible combination.

I love this app, the theory and meditation instruction changed my life. It transformed how I see mediation after years of practice and visiting a Sangha (Buddhist community) regularly for over two years. The non-duality of consciousness (having no head instruction) has truly been a game changer and has had unexpected impacts in multiple parts of my daily life.
The price is just really too high. My contribution to Buddhist community (dana) is similarly and that’s for renting a space, utilities, volunteer expenses. The subscription costs I really cannot muster even though I am a big fan of waking up.

I really love this app. It’s helped me a lot with figuring things out, and I love a lot of what this app has to offer. Thanks Sam for creating this app and I look forward to continuing this journey ❤️

A unique app. Combines series of guided meditations by a huge variety of highly accomplished teachers from all traditions with beautiful conversations with those teachers and others. Also bite-sized sessions with guidance on how to live a daily life that is worthwhile and fulfilling. It has changed my life for the infinitely better. If I could give 10/5 stars I would!

Dear Sam and colleagues, I am so grateful about this app, I really enjoy the lessons and I am meditating every day with the daily meditation, also I learn a lot about meditation and mental strength, thanks for being a part of my life.

If you do they make it difficult to unsubscribe, what a scummy business practice from ‘enlightened’ people

I absolutely love this app, and the team behind it. Have recommended it to all my family and friends!

Still loving the content, the layout not so much. What was wrong with the old Theory Practice Life tabs? Also, the taller rows take up too much space on the screen.

Probably the best meditation app around.
The introductory course is just excellent. It’s based in Vipassana and even with over 10 intensive retreats of practice Sam Harris manages to explain it in such a way it adds tremendous value. Next to that the library with teachings and talks is magnificent.

A path to possibly peace and mental prosperity. Winding and hard, but at least a path
