I have been doing Headspace on and off the last year. Now I am on a streak, 31 days in a row and I love it.

It is only 10-15 minutes every day but they make a huuuuge difference. I learn a lot about me, my surrounding, my body. I think meditation is something that should be taught to children early on and I have seen some reports on this being done at schools.

I managed three days with Headspace and just haven't picked it back up, the 10 introduction sessions seemed alright but a bit samey. I've had a look at The Mindfulness App when it went on sale for 10p and found that rather lacking, I seem to think the accent was annoying to me but it's been a while.

I have Stop, breathe and think installed but haven't given that a go... I think I heard good things about it though! Want me to give it a review?

Stop, breathe and think sound interesting, try it out.

I don't think you will find an app that will have something new for you every day. It is practice, and sometimes you need 15 sessions to find out how a specific technique actually works.

If you happen to try headspace again and get to day 10, let me know. I have a 1-month code left.

Good for you! I've never heard of headspace. That sounds like a great way to get friends into meditation.

Yeah, every 15 days you do you get to gift a month for free. So I tell friends to try it out and then give them the month. If they are really into it, they subscribe.

I think this stuff should be free, but this is what we get for now. 50 bucks a year
