There's an App for it!

The Headspace App man

Andy Puddicombe's handy app for meditation comes from the  getsomeheadspace website.  The New York Times says that Andy has done for meditation what Jamie Oliver has done for food. Lots of people have found having access to the App has given them the possibility of bringing meditation techniques into their busy lives.

 But you have to use it and keep using it and rather like food, you need it to be delivered regularly into your system to be really satisfied.
There is another aspect to meditation which maybe should be born in mind given that meditation is now so easily accessible.  Meditation has a spiritual aspect to it, a very real connection with God if that is what you're after.  Of course you may only want to get less stressed or find it easier to take exams or to concentrate on whatever you need to concentrate on but you can find a meditation which will give you that plus a sense of the great Being which lies behind and through and is hidden in the whole creation.  The App you need for that is the desire to go further plus a meditation which has provenance in that area.  If you are a Christian, the World Community of Christian Meditation might be for you, if you are interested in the Vedic Tradition, the Study Society or School of Meditation  might be for you, if you are philosophical, the School of Economic Science might fit the bill, if you are devotional, perhaps the Brahma Kumaris Raja Yoga would suit you.

So if Andy's app gives you an appetite for meditation and you want to realise you are really a spiritual being, take the extra step!

 To have a teacher who has taken the steps before you is like being roped to an experienced mountaineer when you climb a difficult peak.  They support your efforts without your even having to ask, they support your effort because they have created a path for you to follow easily.

Go on, you know it makes sense!
