Day-to-day life can feel chaotic. At any given moment, we can benefit from generating more calm into our environment.
This particularly rings true on stressful days. Emotional turmoil, panic, overwhelm, and anxiety can all be triggers that leave us desperate for finding some inner calm. That is where mindfulness can help.
There are many reasons to meditate, but one of the most integral ones is often just to center — to feel grounded and to calm your mental process. But relaxing the mind and body may not always come easily on our own.
If you’re looking for help in achieving calm and balance, a meditation app like buddhify can offer great guidance. When it feels like it’s all a bit too much, a short and simple meditation can go a long way.
“I have suffered from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Your app has changed my life. I am learning calmness and to reach for the calm way. If I could, I’d hug you all. Thank you so much.”

“I enjoyed the app before the update, but now I love it. The ability to edit the meditation wheel with meditations you want and the addition of meditation for kids were two wonderful additions. All the people guiding you in the meditations have calming and nice voices. Plus the amount of stuff you get for free is insane!!! I love this app so much that if/when they provide memberships I would actually sign up and pay for it. Great job.”

“I’ve started using buddhify — it’s got guided meditations for just about everything. Usually I just use the sleep ones, but I was having a really stressy day a couple of weeks back and found a five minute meditation that really helped calm me down.”

Absolutely. We have created meditations that are good for beginners and experts and everyone in between.
Although we can create more space between thoughts, the goal is not to sit there and stop thinking or shut anything out. Rather, it’s actually devoting yourself to being present. From moment to moment, just really creating receptivity to what is happening and learning how to be with everything without needing to change it. The mind will fluctuate with its restlessness and its calm, but it will reach calm.
Nothing! Some days the mind is calm, present, and focused, others it is jumping all over the place. This is okay! The basic premise of mindfulness meditation is to become aware of the present moment. It’s a common misconception that meditation is just about feeling floaty, happy, and calm. Many days it is just about getting through the difficult things that are inside of you that come up. We have to be able to sit with those and be caring for all the different parts of us that come up.
Take a deep breath. Remember that thoughts, emotions, and feelings are all fluid — like waves that come and go. Once you feel like you can sit down for a few minutes, try listening to a meditation.
