Insight Timer App

My favorite meditation App that is one of the most important resources that I recommend for my students is called Insight Timer. It is the best meditation app with the world’s largest FREE library of more than 55k guided meditations, 8k teachers & the best meditation timer.

​What I love about the timer is that you can choose background music to accompany your meditation. My favorite is the continuous Ohm. You can find it under “ambient sounds” then choose the ohm symbol. You can also create and save different timed meditations. I have one set for 11 minutes ( what I find to be the perfect time to come to a deeper state of consciousness and calm.) I also have a preset timer for 20 minutes when I have more time. For my yoga classes, I have a preset with a bell sounding after every minute with the “ohm” ambient sound in the background so that the class can practice holding poses for one-minute intervals. This makes for a beautiful mindful class and some of my students find it to be their favorite class! 

When you choose to do guided meditations you can put any subject for your meditation in the search engine and hundreds of meditations on your chosen subject will appear. Here are some ideas to put in the search engine…

Peace within
Sleep ( or yoga nidra)
Mindful eating
Relationships
Higher self
Love
Letting Go

When I have a set an intention for a yoga class that I am teaching I will often type the intention in the search engine which provides me with helpful meditations to use for my classes. 

`One of my favorite meditations is “Bone Deep Sleep”.  A poem that I love is “Poem: She Let Go” by Siddique
Another one of my favorite guided meditations is “Rise of the Phoenix” – a very powerful meditation using deep shamanic breathing. This is great when you are experiencing stress and challenges in life. 
These are just three of the 55,000 meditations! Enjoy and deep gratitude to the founder Brad Fullmer!
