how it came to be ?
At the time of discovering the app, I was going through tough times with schoolwork. Prior to using the app, I attempted to meditate for at least 1 hour daily, which was quite hard. I discovered the app through engaging conversations with my friends and schoolmates. A friend of mine initiated a discussion about free will, which intrigued me and led me to Sam Harris. Initially, I listened to his podcast through the scholarship they offer. Although I was aware of his meditation app, Waking Up, it didn't occur to me that it might have a similar arrangement to the Making Sense podcast. Another schoolmate informed me about the scholarship, mentioning that she had been using it for months and that it was accessible to anyone. I applied and started using it since.
My tiny Review
I absolutely loved it. I used to look down upon guided meditations for foolish reasons, but using the app for 6 months changed my perspective. The meditation sessions are excellent in themselves, but I also appreciate that the app contains related subjects that help you understand meditation and yourself, ultimately aiding in becoming a better human overall. This is not mere praise; the app has had an immensely positive effect on me as a human being.
Now, I've applied for another scholarship because I am broke. If you can afford it, please do yourself a favor and purchase it
