I’m a big advocate of meditation as mentioned in previous blogs. It’s something that has significantly changed my life and entire being. I have never been happier, calmer, clearer and more creative. I also love sharing things that excite me and help me in life. So I want to tell you about this FREE app I use.  I was telling a friend of mine that I was looking for something better than the timer I had on my iPhone for meditation.  I wanted something more soothing like chimes, bells or singing bowls.  She then told me about a meditation app called Insight Timer. This app has that!  My favorite timer bell is the Shurong bowl with no ambient sound. It’s a perfect little timer. It also has tons of guided meditations that I use at my office group meditations. And what’s even cooler it shows you how many people are meditating in the world and in your little corner.  You can even friend people and send supportive messages to each other.  I love this app and use it all the time!  Here are some fun facts from their webpage about it:
