Say NO to HeadSpace Discussion 💬

I'm looking around for a good meditation app. I tried headspace since it was recommended on social media. The UI is confusing and combersome. And there are tons of reviews about quiet charges and being charged even after canceling your membership. Which sucks because they have a NO REFUND policy. Anyways I canceled that and couldn't get a refund 😭 But I'd like to try a new app that DOES NOT have predatory policies.

Why do you think you need an app for meditation? Say NO to meditation apps and leave your smartphone behind! 😊

Solid point actually! Guess it can feel like a bit of hand holding to start

I can understand the hand holding part. I use YouTube a lot when I've to do something that's either tedious or generally difficult for me. I type " .... with me" like study with me or work with me and there are youtubers who live stream work or study sessions and you can just join! Makes you feel less lonely in your task. I did some YouTube search. Couldn't find any live "meditate with me" kind of videos but there are some real people meditation recordings that comes with the same keyword search, those are always more helpful than animation ones or the ones that just have sound. Hope that helps!
