I'm not big on apps, but I know others find them very useful. Insight Timer has a meditation app for IPhones and androids with a wide selection of free meditations, as well as a meditation community that seems a lot like FB.

The meditations range from from the more spiritual (Thich Nhat Hanh) to those favored by many business people (mindfulness, peak performance). There also is a section called, Peace in our Timer, that shows how many hours people are meditating for world peace. They say every month their community meditates one million hours for peace.

As a teacher, I can tell you that most success comes from starting where your students are and teaching step by step until the goal is reached. I see apps like this working in the same way. They are reaching more people across the world. I don't care if someone learns to stop a moment and reflect, rather than react through meditation and self-examination or learning to be mindful. What matters to me is that people grasp the idea of taking the time to consider a situation because this is the moment where awareness of others and self resides and knowing love follows.

Hi Linda,

Apologies - I'm only grabbing this app now. I've been so busy with work and home that I totally forgot about it until my subconscious gave me a nudge a few moments ago.

I'll try it out today / tonight and report back :)
