People meditate, not out of obligation or a hope that it will be helpful. They meditate because it creates very visible, very real positive changes in their lives.

Start Small

Focus only on meditating 2-5 minutes each day, then after seven days, add 2-5 more minutes. 

It’s not the length of time that matters, it’s merely the consistency and commitment to doing it every day that counts.

Remember, It’s Easy

It’s easy to get lost in the idea that you have to have the perfect space, the perfect meditation cushion and be in a perfect position. 

Meditation should feel natural and easy, even if that means just sitting in your car on your lunch break.

Allow yourself room to breathe and practice patience along with compassion for yourself.

Practice Non-Judgement

It’s easy to think that being distracted, fidgeting, or having your mind wander is a negative experience. 

Meditation isn’t about fighting or resisting those natural occurrences. It’s about experiencing them and allowing them.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
