Hi Guys

Done a lot of commenting but this is my first post, wondering if anyone uses the Sam Harris "Waking Up" meditation app ? Or if not what a good alternative would be ? Also this is a pretty cool site, Hope to see the numbers increase a lot.

I use it. Good introduction to meditation so long as Sam Harris' voice doesn't bother you

Nah, Doesn't bother me. I find him quite calming so I can see why he'd be good at it.

I like Sam Harris, but his voice is too smooth, and puts me to sleep.

@Marcus_Aurelius Haha me too. But falling asleep is a natural side effect of meditation in the beginning. To this day I use the 4-7-8 breathing technique to fall asleep. Some call it the 3-5-7 and other variations. Meditation at it's core is the silencing of the mind. More advanced forms allow you to use that silence to focus on something.

@Limitmanjagers I love me some Sam Harris. This clip may seem unrelated to this topic but it's not.

@LastLiberal Ben Stiller is normally not this funny.

@Marcus_Aurelius True but I feel like you're avoiding the beating heart of this issue, and it worries me, so I'll just come out and ask because I respect you.... seriously...Why don't we eat owls? It's been bugging me for at least a couple years

@Marcus_Aurelius Also Ben Stiller did make me laugh once...ONCE

@LastLiberal Was he eating an owl?

It sounds like praying for atheists.

Or perhaps praying is meditation for believers ? 🙂

@Limitmanjagers I think that's exactly what it is. Wish I could like your comment here twice
