They have changed my life!

The sheer variety of mindfulness meditations by themselves is well worth obtaining the app. The quality of teachers and guides is second to none. The teachers have opened my eyes to a new way of living and being. They have changed my life! I am indebted to the creators and teachers, music, healing bowls and everything I don’t have space to mention.

I absolutely love Insight Timer

I absolutely love Insight Timer. I joined in 2009 and have been with them ever since. They accumulate such a broad variety of people offering a wide range of studies and meditations. It’s truly amazing how well they organize their website making it easy to find whatever you might be looking for. I’ve never had a reason to look further to please my meditation needs. It’s a very soulful experience to be involved with them.

An important part of my daily life

I use Insight Timer every morning as part of my meditation practice and every night to help me sleep. I listen to talks as well the same way people listen to podcasts. It’s a very integral and important part of my life. There’s huge diversity in teachers and teachings as well. I believe there’s something for everyone.

I have been using Insight Timer for…

I have been using Insight Timer for several years. The library has so much to offer. I have extended My Plus Membership to the family plan for my husband and son. We all use it everyday. I enjoy building playlists and taking courses. There are other features that I need to explore. On average, I probably use the app 2-3 times a day. I love the LARGE icon. Insight Timer is a beloved friend.

Changed my life

I have been using Insight Timer for over eight years. The timer itself, with its variety of starting and stopping sounds is useful online and offline like on flights or out camping.
The courses, meditations and talks have an almost infinite variety. From meditation to breath work, yoga, Tarot, there’s something to support me on my journey.
There’s also a huge worldwide community that gives me hope for the future.

I use Insight Timer every morning to…feel grounded.

I use Insight Timer every morning to start my day on a positive note. It has transformed my meditation practice. Insight Timer is my anchor. It is one thing I can recommend to anyone. They are continually upgrading the app and making it even better. I love that people from all over the world can post what they are grateful for. I see our shared humanity and it encourages me and inspires me.

A Gift to a World Needing Support

I use Insight Timer daily — more than any other app. I can find support for any need. There are courses, individual guided meditations, binaural beat tracks, music tracks to facilitate emotional release, sleep stories, and so much more. I can bookmark tracks, save courses, and create unlimited presets for the timer using my preferred sounds at intervals and for completion. I can cultivate lists and support materials for clients, as well. I am incredibly grateful for this tool and for all the people using it.

My Favourite Social Rx: Insight Timer 🧘

I always joke about if I had a dime every time I referred my clients, patients, friends and family to Insight Timer I’d be a gazillionaire. I also use it personally every day for years whether it is a live event or meditation practice or simply the sound of rain. I’m also loving the therapist hub. Love love Insight Timer.

I’ve used Insight Timer daily for many…

I’ve used Insight Timer daily for many years and LOVE it. In meditating I don’t like the distraction of being ‘talked at’ but can only concentrate in silence, with pleasant but unobtrusive background music. Moreover, I generally meditate 40 minutes plus during each session and rely on ‘interim bells’ to keep track of time.

I’ve meditated for decades and have tried several alternate products. I like Insight Timer BEST as it offers a wide range of bells and tones to choose from, and beautiful ambient sounds to waft my heart to beautiful landscapes. It also has the flexibility to allow me to configure ‘preset’ meditations in any combination of bells and ambient sounds.

I start each day with Insight Timer and also use it throughout the day in doing immersive computer work.
🙏

Life Changer

I never thought I could still my mind enough to meditate. But I'm on Day 625 of my daily meditation practice. This experience has been a life changer for me and I would have never gotten here without Insight Timer.

Life transformational!

Insight timer has truly changed my life! Not only the fantastic guided meditations, and of course the timer, but the live events are truly fantastic. I can always find something for my mood, regardless of what it happens to be at that moment. I’ve used it several times every day for the past four years. Highly recommended!

I use Insight Timer daily

I use Insight Timer daily. I recommend it to my clients. I am more able to effectively self regulate. Start off with short periods and gradually increase the length of your meditation until you find the timing that works for you. Best wishes on your journey within.

Highly Recommend

I have been a regular user of Insight Timer and cannot recommend the app highly enough!

There are a variety of teachers offering meditations, talks, breathworks, and yoga, all available for free. I love how the majority of the platform is available for free, and I am always recommending it to friends of mine. I have used apps before like calm and Headspace, however have found that they do not offer a variety, and many features are locked behind the paywall. There is also an incredibly supportive community of fellow users on the platform. I love the diversity of teachers on the platform.

For the last two years I have upgraded to a Plus+ member of IT as I wanted to support the platform, and have found this to be a worthwhile spend, and feel that the price is reasonable.

LOVE I.T

I have used I.T. multiple times a day for years. There are so many different options -- any approach to living a peaceful life. I recommend it ALL the time -- it's free! Of course, if possible, donate to teachers. I have the membership, but not necessary at all and it's only 60 dollars a year. Insight Timer has CHANGED my life.

Wonderful application

Wonderful application. Great selection of meditations from many traditions. The timer is perfect for when ya want silent meditation. Feedback on status/participation can help keep you disciplined. This has really helped my practice, and for that I am grateful. 🙏🏽

Meditation is life-changing

Insight Timer is my most used app these days, passing YouTube. The UI is great, and there are so many different instructors that it was easy to find some that resonate. I just bought my second yearly sub and can't recommend it enough. 🧘🏾‍♂️

Insight Timer makes meditating consistently so easy

I have been using the Insight Timer app daily for over 5 years, and using it has changed my life in a very positive way. The app makes it so easy to find a meditation every day, whether I want something guided, just background sounds or music, short, long, or anywhere in the middle. There are hundreds of teachers to choose from, with different styles and focuses. There are thousands of meditations available in the free version, and with the paid version, I also get multi-day courses, many of which I've found to be incredibly helpful.
The app can track how many total days, and how many consecutive days, I have meditated, which especially at the beginning helped me to meditate consistently (now it's part of my routine, so I don't need that, but I don't mind it either). Meditating consistently has been life-changing for me, and I am so grateful to Insight Timer for being instrumental for me developing and continuing that habit.

Game- changer, for sure!

I have been an Insight Timer user for several years now. It has been a daily guided meditation practice (for the most part) and my life is truly better for it.
I choose the paid option as I love doing the courses offered but I love that there is a free option, as well.
