Headspace: Guide to Meditation

I stumbled upon the headspace podcast through Spotify and fell in love with the style and quality of the advice. It came at the exact right time in my life where I needed to just slow down and practice being aware and present. So pleasant to find a newly released Netflix series as well with beautiful visuals and meditation practice. I've been wanting to practice meditation for a long time and now finally am. The series really is helping mellow me out and be present. I hope it has a long life.

Main thing I enjoyed was that I physically felt better (more clear headed and calm) after each practice meditation at the end of the episodes. Really unlike any other show Ive watched. It felt like I was directly increasing the clarity of my mind. I will keep repeating the episodes/practice just for that reason.

The series does what it set out to do as a guide to meditation, so I really have no complaints. From a film-making point of view, the visuals and animation graphics are kept simple, and to the point of what is being narrated on screen in the moment. I went along with the directions of the narrator- close my eyes, focus on the breathing, etc. It seemed to help. So, there.

Andy Puddicombe is the voice that guided me in Meditation for over 2 years, and occasionally still does when I need a reminder on certain techniques. I can't begin to say how useful it is to this very day. You almost feel born again after practicing these techniques, and wish you knew of them sooner.

Headspace has brought immense calm to many people, and now seeing them on a massive platform is exciting, because many more will be opened to this simple yet powerful tool called meditation. These tools have the potential to create a more peaceful, kind, and calm world. This show has great graphic, great narration, and as always, great techniques from Andy.

To end, I'll quote Headspace: "Traditions may bind us, cultures alienate us, language and words divide us. But in silence, we are united."

This is absolutely Brilliant, it's a perfect way to get yourself into meditation. I love the animations, it keeps it engaging and also has a very relaxing tone to every episode. Andy presents the information in a way that anyone can grasp, making it easy to understand. His stories are relatable, and his guidance is much appreciated. I would love to see the show come out with even more seasons. This show is the gift that keeps giving. This is very beneficial in helping with stress and anxieties, and helps to train yourself so no matter what times life brings you, you have a way to help yourself and the people you love. With practice these meditations can bring a lot more peace and balance to your life, I know it does for me.
