Insight Timer Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• How to condition your mind for optimal performance

  My routine involves using noise cancelling headphones and using an app on my phone called Insight timer. Depending on if I'm working in the office or working from home, I'll always find 5-10 minutes at the same time every day to sit and complete a guided session. It doesn't need to be a long session, it just needs to be regular. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night brain going full speed ramble about nothingness, then get irritated because you can't go back to sleep!???

  I use Insight-Timer. It's a great app. The Yoga Nidra helps me focus my mind on the " right here, right now" by focusing my attention on my breath and physical sensations I feel in different parts of my body. I usually fall asleep before the end of the meditation (about 10-15 minutes) and sometimes my wife tells me I'm out in less than 2 minutes. Https://insighttimer.com or check the app store.

• Any suggestion?

  Insight Timer is free and has literally thousands of meditations, music, sounds, etc. It's fun to poke around and find a style/person that's helpful. I found that I like guided meditations with background music so I can turn off the rest of my brain. When you feel a migraine come on or even have a worry about one happening you can pop on a track and get yourself out of that negative feedback loop. Wishing you... Source: almost 2 years ago

• i never accepted or dealt with it, and now i’m having an identity crisis.

  What can you do for yourself tonight to make today more manageable? Can you manage a small snack, a glass of water, a cup of tea? What helps you feel more in control of the space you're in in your apartment? Would it feel safer to block your door with something heavy? What feels comforting right now? Do you have a favorite blanket to wrap yourself in, a favorite stuffed animal, or even a comfort movie or show? How... Source: almost 2 years ago

• I don't know if anyone here has experience with this, but how do you get into a deep trance for shapeshifting? I have no fire, no music, no drums, no furs, and really nothing at all that might help (I read that it helps)

  I’d recommend checking out Insight Timer and looking for tracks that say things like “shamanic drumming” or “Theta waves.” Explore different types of music as you do all kinds of different journeys to practice your skills. You’re not going to achieve deep trance until you’ve put in a lot of work…so start the work with what you have where you are! Source: almost 2 years ago

• I (F26) don't think I'll ever get over my ex (M27) who broke up with me over 5 years ago. Should I just give up on dating and work towards being a single mother by choice?

  There are many free options that are available. I really like Insight Timer, Smiling Mind, UCLA Mindful, Tara Brach's Podcast, Healthy Minds, etc. Source: about 2 years ago

• Some part of me does not want me to get better

  I suggest downloading the Insight Timer app and doing the Embodiment mediation with Richard Schwartz himself. I do this one a lot, like almost daily, just to sit with my Parts and let them know I’m “here to help.” It’s a good way to cultivate compassion if that’s especially challenging (it is for me too).

• Apartment workout - noise management

  I also want to take this chance to remind everyone (mostly myself!) that's it's okay you're not as diligent with your workout during this pandemic. My office just announced that we'll all be working remotely this whole month (in May). We're lucky we still have a job and I really enjoy being with my husband who also works from home; it has its challenges. I am upset at times that I am not working out as much...
