Pros and cons of Walking Meditations app for iPhone and iPad
Walking Meditations app good for
I was told that walking meditation was harder. Not so with this app. The voice is perfect for refocusing me when I drift.
I always thought that I enjoyed walking, but I was surprised to find myself enjoying it more while being guided by this app. The emphasis was less on the exercise aspect and more on the experiential part. Being in the moment made the walk stimulating and rewarding.
This app gave me exactly what I needed as I began a program of meditation & exercise.
Some bad moments
Maybe for those that have never meditated. Very monotonous.. Not in a good way
Meditation was very hard for me, but very needed due to trauma and severe stress. I tried other methods but would actually laugh when I heard phrases like "harness the Chakra" or "feel the positive energy as you breath in"- major eye roll not conducive for meditation. This girl tells ask you what you see, hear, feel and 15 minutes later, huge weight off shoulders and a better outlook on getting through lifes major struggles.
When I found this app, I saw that there were only 2 ratings, and the average amount of stars was 0. I decided to try out the app without knowing if it was good or not. Well Ill tell you, it was a good find! Highly relaxing, improves my awareness, spiritual presence, senses and one of my most used apps! I use it in the morning before any body has gone out to drive or mow their lawns or walk their dogs and it really improves my day. Love it! If you are looking for a creative alternative to sitting meditation, this is the app for you.
Breath and look at things around you. Not a very good meditation.
Narrator sounds like she has taken a great deal of Valium. However the information she imparts, and the guided meditation are really quite effective. Also, this is the only walking meditation app out there. For that reason it is quite good. The "price" is also quite good.
I use this app a lot when walking from place to place. Its a great tool to clear my mind as well as see the world in an entirely new way.
