Smiling Mind

MEDITATE WITHOUT STRESSING ABOUT YOUR MONEY’S WORTH Free | smilingmind.com.au There are a lot of meditation apps available, but Smiling Mind differs from most of them in two key ways. First, it’s completely free, which is refreshing when rivals like Headspace and Simple Habit require monthly subscriptions to access most of their material. Second, Smiling Mind is aimed at children as well as adults, with a range of meditation courses available for different age ranges, starting at 7–9 years. It even includes lesson plans and activities for educators trying to teach meditation. If you’re not a kid or an educator, there are plenty of other plans that might appeal, from meditation basics, to programs focused on everything from digital detoxes to improving your productivity and sporting skills. There is a mix of audio and video meditations of varying lengths, you can set up sub profiles so multiple family members can all use the app, and you’ll see your progress over time, with stats and charts showing how long you’ve spent meditating, how many sessions you’ve done and on which days.
