The Top 70 Apps For Your Mental Health

One of the best forms of motivation for health and mental wellness circa around each New Year. Because as the saying goes the New Year brings a New You 

But this year, that means consistency and with the help of technology and these 70 best mental health apps, it’s possible. So whether you have 10 minutes or an hour a day → make a window for mediation and prepare to be elevated! Because once you raise your awareness, you raise your opportunities. In all areas of your life.

Here’s a list of the best meditation apps for your mental health — compiled by health expert Roman Sukharenko — to help you achieve greatness ↓

1. Headspace

Your gym membership for your mind. With Headspace ↓

The intention of these techniques is to cultivate awareness and compassion so that we might better understand the mind, as well as our relationship with the world around us.

 

What others are saying about the app: 

This is the only app I pay for, and it’s certainly my favorite. I have used it for 2 years and it keeps me on track with my meditation practice. There are “packs” I like more than others, but overall I’m really impressed with the simple and effective guided sessions. It keeps me accountable and it provides me with lots of guided meditations to choose from, including exercises on sleeping, happiness, focus, appreciation, anxiety, etc. What I pay for the app is less than going to one in-person meditation class a month, so it’s well worth it for me considering how much of an improvement I see in my mood and outlook when I’m meditating.

In terms of cons, my biggest pet peeve about the app is that if you decide midway through a pack of themed sessions that you don’t like it, or want to switch to a different pack, the only way to do that requires losing all your progress — you have to finish your current pack before starting a new one. Some packs are 30 sessions, which makes this quite a commitment….

2. Mindbliss

They have a large variety of content — brain entrainment, binaural beats, guided meditation — with over 26 well known authors contributing whereas other apps provide 1-5. Authors like Hemy-Sync, The Source Vibrations, and iAwake.

This is brilliantly beneficial for each user who can curate and choose the voice that fits their style best. The option is subscription base so you get access to the entire library instead of having to pay for each track you want.

3. Calm

…make the world healthier and happier through the super power of calm.

What others are saying about the app: 

Tried every meditation app I could find and this is the one I use every day. I used to teach meditation and I’m always learning new things about my mindfulness practice using Calm. I recommend it to anyone I know who could use more grounding and, well, calm in their lives. I am a better person for using this app daily.

It is one of the only apps that has drastically improved my life. Thank you. The loading animations release notes remind me to take a moment to breathe – this is brilliant. It is apparent that the team cares very deeply about the product and it’s Mission. The updates have been consistently great too.  — @SlowMotn

What I love about this app is its inclusion of daily inspirations. Calm provides techniques to cater to your individual focus — whether it’s sleep, obtaining happiness, or developing self-esteem. Calm is great for people like me who want to grow an area they’re already. Be sure to check out their great tips on their blog too. Click on image to take you to their ‘Mindfulness tips’ page.

4. One Moment Meditation

This app aims to meditate quickly and powerfully, finding balance and calm wherever you are … even if you’ve never meditated before. Creator and author Martin Boroson, has one goal: to help people break through the time barrier and find a deep source of peace and inspiration right now. So → Breathe. Let go. Be still.

What others are saying about the app: 

Shortly after the horrible attacks in Paris. Joe came across the app and wrote a letter to Marty ↓

Dear Marty:

One of your OMM reminders magically appeared shortly after I learned of the attacks on Friday night.

Whereas I often mentally file away such reminders, hoping to take a moment to meditate “later when I have time”, this time I immediately closed my eyes for a nice long moment.

It really grounded me instantly, and reminded me of your constant love and support.
