I never realized how stressed, anxious, and hurting my mind is until using meditation at my therapist's recommendation. The first meditation I cried at the end of it, not because I was emotionally sad or happy, but simply because my mind needed a release and was so grateful to get it. I now know I need this to help my mind change from constant stress, anxiety, and fear.

This is the BEST app by far for mindfulness
It’s almost embarrassing to say this, but I have been a “meditator” for about 30 years and I have to say that I never really got very much out of doing it. I tried so hard, but I’m finding out I never truly understood that “trying” to be a good meditator or mindful person, was missing what doing this was about. What I’m learning through this app is that “mindfulness” is about me - understanding myself first, and it’s a lot about acceptance. So with that understanding and acceptance I can begin to see “things” so much more clearly and why previous ways of thinking, particularly about myself, were holding me back from living my life and loving myself. And I’m finding that the more I practice self acceptance, the fears about living fully and going after what I want out of my life, are disappearing. The previous version of myself is rapidly becoming someone I only used to know, and this new ME is much more in line with who I’d always wanted to be. I’m able to try and do so much more, all while in the comfort that I am lovable, even if I fail at something. I simply dust myself off and try some more. This app has completely changed me and the way I’m able to appreciate all the good that’s in my life. And I’m worthy of going after the things I want for my life, while freeing me up to share my gifts with others and society in general. If this is where you find your life stalling out, this app will bring you back to yourself. -
Best App ever. I did the trial and helped me so much, and then signed onto monthly service and not disappointed. Have suffered from struggling to get to sleep for years, as well as waking up during the night. The last month has been so good, programs to help me fall asleep, as well as programs to help me get back to sleep in the early hours. Love the full day program as well each day. Thank you kindly Headspace.

Facing down the rabbit hole
I discovered Headspace on Netflix. My life is a series of invitations to succumb to fear. My husband is a practicing psychologist who is on peritoneal dialysis for 10 hours every night and works remotely with patients for about 10 hours every day without complaint. We have been waiting for a kidney for two years. I am optimistic by nature but even if this was the only focus for concern it would be a lot. Unhelpfully, the list goes on with equivalent issues. I can’t work; I need to be on call because I am the go-to for support. I occupy my mind and time writing a book and renovating every room of our home one at a time amidst being available for nine blended (mostly grown) children and 5 grandkids, many of whom have special needs. I am busy but isolated like so many due to covid-19. Trying the Headspace series felt like meeting air; filling the natural and effortless need to breathe. It has provided me with a new lens through which to focus on challenges and see potential. I incorporate it into my waking routine at dawn and it positions me for whatever happens throughout the day, and differentiates a space that is my own. I turn 61 this month and for maybe the first time in a while, life feels lighter and brighter. It’s not about what you fear or can’t control or even the fact of fear. It’s about the lens through which you interpret your fears or challenges and making them your strengths and allies. Thank you Andy :-) -
I started from not interested in meditation at all to become a huge believer in meditation. Headspace makes meditation fun and easy. I started with 5 minute meditation and gradually increased to 20 minute practice. And now, I never complete my day without meditation. Headspace has helped me a lot with anxiety, stress, work and study. I have become a better version of myself since I know it. Highly recommend! ❤️

It has really low amount of free meditation

This is an amazing app, don't get me wrong but i can't really pay the suscription fee, which is fine, but i don't like the fact that you only get one or two videos for free without the subscription. The app would be better if you gave more free options, so the ones who can't really pay the fee can also enjoy the app.

I am a big fan, i use this app every day and it helps me a lot. Especially the sleepcasts and the workouts ! This app litteraly changed my life. Nevertheless, the courses are basically similar to one another (breathing and visualization most of the case). There are just few sentences that make the difference. I really hope that they will offer new ways to pratice meditation and it will be perfect if the excercises could be linked to the course we're doing in order to offer better help

When my blood pressure spikes above 150/95 I use meditation to calm me down and lower my pressure. HeadSpace has been helping me with this for over 7 years. 20 minutes of meditation will bring my pressure down to my normal range.As featured in Best Apps to Monitor Blood Pressure & Keep It Low

It’s hard for me to get a moment to myself sometimes, but when I do lately I’ve been making it a habit to meditate. The guided meditations in Headspace really help me to unwind and leave me feeling refreshed and renewed.

7 days into quitting cold turkey might have you feeling anxious. But it helps to get into the right “Headspace” with 10 -15 minute guided meditations that will keep you mindful and focused on your goals.

It can be hard to find inner peace when dealing with PTSD. Headspace guides you through 10-minute meditation programs so you can calm your mind and find clarity. You can also find programs for dealing with other life challenges like anxiety, self-esteem, anger, and more.

I have been using it for the last couple of months. Thanks to the clear and affective communication with the customer service team I decided to purchase it. What I loke the most is that you can decide the length of your session, that there are all sort of video that spread positivity and restfulness. One thing I would love to do...is to revisit the actual 'wake up' videos and the rest of the video that appear only for the day. Any suggestions? Thank you

Too pricey for a college kid!
I love this app. I tried the free trial and loved it. The guided meditations really make the work easy and I found myself in a inducing a meditative state without lots of effort. They literally have a guided meditation for any situation or mood so it feels like their library is limitless. Unfortunately my free trial ran out and I bought a few months of headspace. In a way buying the app encouraged me to use it because I was spending my own money so that was good. However, when I moved into my first apartment I didn’t have enough money to keep my subscription going. I would love to buy headspace for life but I just don’t have $300 extra dollars sitting around to spend. I also feel that the subscription is pricey for something i don’t always want to use everyday. On days where I wanted to take a break from using my phone I lost my meditation streak which was disappointing. Sometimes I have a great day and don’t feel the need for headspace, but the subscription still takes the money from my pocket. On days when I really have a particular funky mood headspace is great because I feel like it can guide me through any kind of funk. I just wish it wasn’t so pricey. Buy this app if you like the meditations and have the money, but if you don’t have the dough, free meditation may be the way to go. -
I absolutely love this app!! I've been using it a total of 2 years, I only gave 4 stars because of the price, I feel this could be a life changing app for many people but the price puts it out of reach for too many! The yearly price is a decent deal but still a good chunk of change for many people all at once for an app.

It's a nice app for guided meditation especially nice for beginners. 3 stars for the sleep cast: Missing feature: it is not possible to fast forward the sleep stories. If we users accidentally click back in the middle of the night, we have to start from the beginning. Which leads to frustration and goes against the purpose of this app. Furthermore would be great to download the story for listening in airplane mode. Can you add this 2 features?

Love this app!!
So I started using this app because my boyfriend said that I needed to start meditating due to my high levels of stress (and how easily I get stressed and I have poor stress management) and my because I am very easily angered and to him I just overall seem unhappy with life. I am only 24 so my stress shouldn’t be what it is in my opinion. So I took his advice on meditation and did some research and found this app. I’m still in the free trial stages of it but I will most definitely buy is once it ends. The reason I give 4 start is because I wish there were more mindful activities because of my job. I wake up at 6 am and come home from anywhere between 5pm - 11pm depending on the day I have. So it would be nice to have more mindful activities where I can use the app an work or do things at home with out it being the same thing. Or more on commuting. I’m driving all day long so to have something I can listen to while driving that isn’t music or just for a commute home would be nice. But other than that I have no complaints! I love it and I hope it gets me where I would like to be. And that is to be happy and content with my life as it is now. And not get so angry with things. I am really excited to keep using this app!

I would love to be able to turn off the vibration feedback at random times like when I'm selecting a soundscape for sleep. It's sometimes aggravating to deal with when I've been struggling to sleep and can't find the right noise to put me to sleep. Also put just crickets and cicadas in a sound. I don't also want to hear wind/rain/fire or whatever else you think is nice. Just a simple summer night in the country.

Great resource!
This is really helpful! The only reason I didn’t give a higher rating is because there’s a strong overlying tone of a sales pitch there. Which is unfortunate, because I think people would be able to see the value easier if there wasn’t a push for money after every meditation and for many of the things on the app people would want to explore. Kind of stalls progress of the meditation itself when you’ve just worked so hard to pull yourself back, only to be instantly asked for money right after. From a company stand point I also think it would be more beneficial to work on building value and then freely offering the option to see what monthly costs are and also show a detailed description of what’s involved with a paid membership. I know this has worked well financially for other services and I’ve seen increases in sales by simply looking at things from the customers perspective. And I feel like the customers perspective is a miss here :( However quite and easy fix and overall this app is amazing! It not only teaches the basics of meditation, but teaches different techniques as well. This makes it good for beginners all the way to experts. I truly believe that the basis of this app is pure in intention and I can see what a help it is to many people who walk the path of life. -
Great app however...
The gamification of this app is counterintuitive. For example I had a streak of over 100 days. I was so proud of that and it kept me motivated to continue. However my streak got wiped and I’m not even sure why. My boyfriend joked that this app that’s supposed to help me relax and reframe thoughts has me upset because I missed a day. If I look at my journey I see that each session date is sequential and doesn’t miss a date. This is the second time this has happened to me. I don’t know why my streak gets erased, and sometimes I feel like it adds a day randomly. I don’t think this would bother me so much if I wasn’t paying for this. And I know that this feature of the app is the least important aspect or function of the app. But for a product that’s supposed to help you practice mindfulness and acceptance this doesn’t help the users. Now that my streak has reset for the second time I felt the need to review. I hope you can fix this bug. Or at least let users know how the streak is measured, because you can meditate each calendar day but that doesn’t mean it counts for your streak. -
Every meditation is the same
I love the user interface on this app. I like the animations and the narrator. The app makes you want to meditate everyday and has definitely helped me keep a consistent practice. That in itself is very valuable. Unfortunately all of the meditations are pretty much exactly the same just repackaged under different themes. Essentially, if you do the basics (which you can get a taste of for free), that’s what all the other meditations are like. There’s no variety. They managed to package the same meditation under different themes by slapping on a different introductory quote. After that quote, you just repeat the same meditation. For example, you want a meditation that focuses on love? Well they just provide a little definition on what unconditional love is and then you do the exact same meditation you did in the basics package. I certainly don’t mind doing the same meditation for a month or so. But definitely not justifiable for an entire year. I would advice anyone against paying a whole year subscription for the app unless they want to do the same exact meditation daily. -
Good, but not as great a selection as it might seem
While I enjoy the user friendliness of the app, appreciate the videos as well as the range of meditation themes, I’ve begun to regret having subscribed for a whole year in advance. The more packages and singles I look into, the more it seems that a lot of the sessions ultimately follow the same structure, use one (or more) of the same hand full of techniques, just the “packaging” changes (mediation for sleep, productivity, healing etc.). The singles seem to be more varied, but they, too, largely follow the same layout, just with a different theme wrapped around it. If only there were at least more variety to the visualization technique; I love meditating using visualization, but the one I’ve come across in all but one case (liquid sun light) does not do it for me. Granted, I haven’t listened to all sessions offered, and I’ll gladly take back what I’ve said if there’s more variety to the session structure or the techniques and I’ve just haven’t seen it yet. It would be disappointing, though, if the current pattern I’m seeing holds up for the rest of the packages.
