1. 5/510 Percent meditation app

   Dan Harris’ book 10% Happier was so good, witty & intellectual, it inspired me to try his meditation website. The app is amazing! I’ve taken nearly all the original courses which are truly spectacular in their depth of knowledge & education of practice of meditation beyond my expectations. It raised the bar of why meditation works for everyone who tries it & continues to do so, making it a daily practice. The courses are not boring and made for everyone, beginners & well seasoned meditators. More courses are added all the time so there is never a shortage of new material. Dan sourced his teachers from the best of the best, even the Dalai Lama! I have been able to make profound changes in my life & relationships because of his generosity to have everyone learn to meditate & become a more healthy & happier human being who realizes the value of loving kindness to others in their immediate family, circle of friends & those in the world who need peace in their lives. I am very grateful to Dan for sharing his knowledge with the world at large & engaging so many wonderful teachers to join his mission to bring the practice of meditation to everyone! We don’t know what we are missing until we try. We have everything to learn & nothing to lose except the negative things about ourselves we’ve been wanting to change for the longest time. Thank you Dan & all the teachers you have found to bring their experience, intellect, wisdom & kindness to us all. For this I am so very grateful.

2. 5/5One of the greats

   I’m not one to review apps all that frequently, but after Ten Percent Happier (TPH from here on out) just pulled me out of yet another anxious spiral, I couldn’t not share. I don’t use this app in the way I think it was maybe intended. I am struggling - still - to build a regular meditation routine, and while I hope I am able to be more intentional and develop that skin in the future, I want to let people know: this app is even helpful for the irregular meditator. The shorts help me sleep on days where my brain is working overdrive, or help me wake up and pull myself out of a spell of anxiety that sleep couldn’t shake off. Even though I only use the app irregularly, and on an as-needed basis, I have noticed that I turn to the awareness of breath and body that the shorts have helped me develop when I’m in a state of panic or anxiety even when I’m not using TPH. I haven’t dived too deeply into the courses, but those I have done have been interesting and informative. I’m going through a transitional phase in life right now and want to take more time to dedicate to taking care of myself. I’ve fallen off of exercise routines, chore routines, and I am losing a sense of myself again. TPH is helping me hold it together, and I’m hoping that I can find a way to fold it into my daily life in the coming months to truly work on and actualize self-change. Can’t sing the praises of this enough so far - even when I’m using the app not as intended, it’s helping me immensely, and transforming my relationship with my mind.

3. 5/510% Happier is an understatement

   I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder two years ago, and was told that I’ve probably been suffering from it much longer than I realized. Fast forward to 2020 - I became a first-time mom at 38 years old, suffered from postpartum depression, and just when I was starting to find my footing, the world was immediately hurled into the COVID-19 pandemic. The stress wreaked havoc on my body. Everyday I felt like I was physically drowning; my chest was cramped, my muscles ached, I was permanently exhausted but couldn’t sleep, and my brain was foggy. I tried taking anxiety medication and it made me extremely nauseous, which further triggered my anxiety. I thought I was doomed; I felt so helpless. Then I read Dan Harris’s book, 10% Happier, and I figured if meditation helped him, maybe it would help me. Now I use the app daily, in conjunction with a daily routine that involves yoga, reasonably healthy eating, supplements as recommended by my physician, and continued communication and collaboration with my support net of friends and family. It’s part of a bigger picture, and it has made a world of difference. Physically, the chest tightness and muscular tension have decreased significantly. And mentally I find myself much more resilient in the face of stress, especially the kind induced by the intrusive irrational fears that come with GAD. Thank you to the 10% Happier team. In my case, “10% Happier” would be an understatement.

4. 5/5The Dalai Lama’s guide to happiness

   I woke up at 3 AM this morning with cramping feet and legs, an unsettled digestive system and my nervous system activated as a result of lack of self-care before I went to bed last night. So I woke up, completed my self-care and returned to my bed. I had been sent an email by a loving friend, and I opened it to find the Dalai Lama. What a gift- hallelujah! So I pressed the play button and proceeded to listen to Day Ten! Ha! Which ended up being a lovely summary of what my next nine days will be like and to top it all off I was able to listen to Joanne Halifax, giving today’s meditation. She has always been one of my faves and that was reconfirmed earlier this morning. However, I fell asleep during the meditation so when I woke up from my nap, I replayed her 10 minute meditation, and once again, I felt inspired by her words. I feel more hopeful, so much more grounded, relaxed and present and I feel like I put the crisis I am currently going through with one of my clients family members currently into a detached perspective, and one from the standpoint of compassion, and what my bigger underlying mission is within or aside from their crisis. I am filled with deep gratitude for the Dalai Lama for this transmission, for the narrator, for Joanne Halifax, for all the cast and crew who put this 10 day meditation workshop together and online, and for the stream of consciousness that brought it to my attention I bless you all from deep within my soul. Namaste! And as the Dali Lama would say “Never give up!” 🙏🏻Sharon Wilke

5. 5/5Helpful practice that’s noninvasive + amazing & simple UI

   This app is simply fantastic. It has a very easy to navigate user interface (UI) with really helpful classes / sessions throughout the app. I love the videos prior to the meditation practice because it gives some context to that practice but more often than not also gives expert opinion on the subject & how meditation can assist. We have a company wide challenge every year using this app and last year was the first time I had used it. I’ve used this app every day since, and already pulling ahead in the challenge this year because of how much I use this app in my day-to-day. I’d recommend this app, and meditation, for anyone that has busy days and feels like they are unraveling. A million tasks on your hands and a weight unfathomable on your shoulders? Use this app. I never meditated before, and even scoffed at the idea thinking those that meditate are simply Gandhi-bes (Gandhi wannabes) and that meditation had no real value in my life. I started with my challenge at work and over the month of the challenge I fell in love with the idea of centering my mind and recognizing my emotions as I felt them, but before I reacted to them. I’ve had better relationships and more meaningful interactions with my world because of it and even came to appreciate my surroundings just a little bit more. I’m no master guru-sage-yogi bear but I have to say that the practice I’ve had because of the guidance of this app has made a massive and measurable difference in my life, and I hope it does the same for you! :)
