Offering thousands of guided meditation sessions and talks with professional practitioners and mindfulness experts, Insight Timer is your companion for finding calm, managing stress and improving sleep.

What we love: There’s something for everyone. Filter guided sessions according to the time you have or what you’re aiming to achieve. Choose from goals including maintaining focus, resetting in the middle of a busy day or winding down before bed. New to meditation? There’s a free seven-day course to get you started.

Quick tip: Bookmark your favourite sessions so you can return to them easily from your profile. If you prefer to guide your own meditation, try the Timer feature. Set a time for your session and it will keep you on track with regular bells. You can also join groups or start your own to connect with a like-minded community.

Meet the creator: Insight Timer CEO Christopher Plowman founded the company with his brother Nicho, who quit a corporate job to become a meditation teacher. Plowman believes that meditation leads to higher levels of consciousness. His vision is to create a kinder and calmer world where everyone engages in the practice.
