Mindful Readers discussion

I was wondering how many of our members use the Insight Timer app. On Insight timer connect you can create sitting groups so I was thinking of starting a mindful readers group if there was some interest then we could read together and sit together.

I do, Gary. But then you already know that.

Yes Mark thanks for joining us my friend.

I am not sure how that works on insight, and I'm not sure it I will be able to participate too much since I am in Alaska, but I'm game. :)

Aindrea at the bottom of the groups page on insight timer there's a search function. Good luck finding us. :-)

I use insight timer app.

I look forward to sitting with you George.

Just a reminder guys, if you use the Insight Timer app please take the time to go into groups, search up Mindful Readers and join us.
Thank you

Joined Insight Timer. Are there meditations with background music?

There are guided meditations but I don't think there's any with background music.

Here's the website https://insighttimer.com/

On this place on Earth, usually we don´t need those apps.
Gary, please, foster Prajñā, not apps...

I find the ap most helpful especially the timer and the groups. Thanks for suggesting it.

The Insight Timer app has connected me to like minded friends and has provided thee additional motivation I have needed to make meditation a daily habit.

Dario on this earth human beings our Sangha are spread far and wide apps and the internet are tools that help us connect interbe with each other. This group isnt about promoting anything it's about connecting.

Just to remind members old and new that we do have a sitting group on the Insight Timer app available on iOS and Android devices.
This gives us the opportunity to sit together regardless of distance and time zones. I hope to see you there.

Just another reminder, we now have 12 member in our sitting group. Please come and join us.

I've been using it for about a year. Love it.

I heard about Insight Timer app, generally created for meditation practice, but haven’t used it yet. It empowers sound of Tibetan singing bowls to have peaceful and productive space. Meditation is an effective way to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It’s clear that you can gather the benefits of meditation with mobile apps. Some scientific studies proved the effectiveness of a good meditation app like Calm https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calm-... which eliminates stress, depression etc., and show effective mood improvement in just few days. It is one of the good apps for entire meditation types and relaxation. I think you should try it soon!

I love Insight Timer and it is very useful for my meditation practice

There are lots of guided meditations, some with background music, or you can just use the timer. Great way to motivate daily meditation.

I've been using the app for a few years, but only discovered the joys of the Guided Meditation area. There's such a variety of meditations.. really helpful. A few famous authors on there too, such as ET, JKZ, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzburg, Mooji (talks), and lots of others.

Does anyone know of a good meditation gamification app? I like headspace as it keeps track of how often I meditate. However, it's price is pretty crazy
