Apps Are Changing Mindfulness
- Most apps use a subscription model, that rely on user dependence—reinforcing, rather than breaking, habits.
- Apps encourage the idea that meditation is a solo practice, whereas in the past it was often learned in group settings.
- It’s always guided—something you do alone or with headphones in. Users can’t ask questions or get personalized instruction.
- Meditation apps sometimes imply that their app’s brand of meditation is the only style of meditation.
