The Way: Meditation Path

I can‘t believe this app has only 8 ratings. Somebody told me about this app and i tried so many meditation apps before but never could really stick to the routine. i really liked the idea of only one meditation per day and a clear path to follow. So i downloaded and tried it - And for me it really works! I love how the sessions build up on each other, it‘s not too repetetive and easy to follow. I like the voice, i love that you can choose the length of the session (and that it is the only thing you can choose) and i love the information sessions inbetween. Only the UI is sometimes slightly confusing but that‘s fine 😊🤗

A really well made app, and a wonderful teacher that has carefully prepared a "path", to offer guidance, a needed alternative to the overloaded feeling of other popular meditation apps.

The Way presents such a unique approach to meditation, that does not differ in principle from the approach of other meditation-apps, but that gives me a clear understanding of why and how to actually do the practice. What’s best about it is the genuine and loving manner in which Henry Shukman gives the teachings. I love to come back to the app at the end of my day or in the morning and do my sit. There are no distractions and not a million options of different wellness and destress and what not sessions. It’s just the sit in all its glory and fullness. I also love the overall structure of Henry‘s approach. Very easy to follow and to understand, even for beginners. I‘m excited to see where this path leads me.

For me this is the best meditation app I have come across so far. And it is the real thing. Not some wishywashy “let’s all be spiritual” type of thing, but really bringing meditation as it relates to reality. Love it.

I have been practicing for a couple years via Waking Up, where I found Henry Shukman’s meditations. I’ve found his guidance is very powerful and precise, inviting us to be with all of our experience, emphasizing compassion and acceptance of what arises, as well as recognition of the more ultimate selfless nature of awareness. While I think Waking Up is an incredible resource, The Way really has simplified some of the confusion that has come with navigating an array of similar yet different approaches and lexicons. There are so many beautiful teachings out there, but I think I’ve found a few that I want to focus on exploring. I’m using The Way for my meditation sessions—with some daily meditations from Sam on Waking Up—and listening to Joseph Goldstein’s amazing Dharma talks on Waking Up. I’m also reading Joseph Goldstein’s Mindfulness. Selfishly I do have a suggestion 🤪. At the moment we can do 10 or 20 minute meditations. I would like the option to customize the meditation length further. Preferably by adding mostly silence to the end, with the ending guidance (“move fingers, open your eyes…”) still coming at the end of the chosen duration. Thank you so very much to the Shukmans for creating this. ~Kyle

Very well done 🙏

I am so grateful for this app. Even as a seasoned meditator, I was drawn to The Way right away, and I have not been disappointed. It is simple, engaging and lovingly thought out; what’s more they listen to their user feedback and continue to improve! For newbies and experienced contemplatives alike, it is a perfect dose of beginner’s mind, and Henry is a wise and companionable guide on The Way.

I’ve been a meditator for 35+ years and practiced many types with many excellent teachers. But with this app I have a feeling of being personally shepherded by Henry. I highly recommend for all meditators.

I’ve tried several meditation apps and have meditated on my own and with a number of in-person teachers. It’s a very individual thing, but this app is my favorite. I appreciate having a single guide, especially when its Henry Shukman. He is so knowledgeable but more importantly so wise and gentle. I’ve never been as consistent with my practice as I am now with Henry.

I’ve tried many meditation apps and had given up on them as not fitting for me. Then I came upon The Way and I’ve been using it every day since it was in beta. It’s the best app I’ve used for meditation. The “one path” philosophy is exactly what I’ve been looking for, especially since it is under the guidance of Henry, a true master of his field.
