The Way - Guided Meditation

I have never written a review for an application; however, waking up has accelerated my progress in my journey into mindfulness. I have been meditating for almost 10 years and recently started taking it more seriously the last year. I have tried several apps, but none of them lays out a roadmap and a pragmatic approach to meditation. Thanks, Sam Harris, for introducing me to Henry Shukman and his meditation app the way. Henry Shukman, thank you, thank you. May you always be blessed.

I’ve been working with this app daily for about a month and each time I do so, I feel tremendous gratitude for how closely it comes to personally working with a meditation teacher. My consistency of practice has improved 100% using this app because I am working with guided practices that build my skills in a cumulative manner. I look forward to each sit knowing that someone else, a master in a Zen tradition, is guiding the way. The pressure to ‘know’ what I am supposed to do is eliminated. Using The Way app allows me focus on developing my ability to sit consistently and more patiently while cultivating skills and ways of being. Thank you to Henry, Nina (and Jeremy) and everyone else on The Way Team for this tremendously beneficial and accessible meditation app! <3

This app and Henry’s guidance has been and continues to be one of the best tools to keep me meditating regularly. I’ve found the daily sits and Henry’s encouragement unparalleled in assisting me to deepen my commitment and practice. Thank you!

Discovering so much peace with Henry. His voice is very comforting and reassuring and the 20 minute practises fly by in no time. By far the best meditation app I have found. Thank you.

This has deepened my practice in ways I didn’t anticipate. I was unsure at first, I have tried several meditation apps over the years that ended up not being quite what I was looking for. Learning here has brought me so many gifts in the last few months. Much respect and appreciation for Harry.

But here we are: Henry Shukman, thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this app. It is a blessing and a gift for so many of us. I have been slacking on my meditation practice but no more, not with The Way on my homescreen. Just a few sessions in, and I’m already noticing increased tranquility and greater mindfulness of my actions. Grateful.

The Way is a truly wonderful journey thus far. I have been meditating for years now using a variety of apps, but the instruction here is giving me a much better foundation of knowledge and practice. I highly, highly recommend this app to anyone wanting to go deeper with their meditation practice. Having a consistent and highly knowledgeable teacher has been transformative and the path is incredibly well laid out (and thought out).

I’ve been meditating on and off for years now, with the last 3 consisting of an unbroken daily practice. During my history I’ve tried numerous meditation apps. None of them compare to The Way. It’s offered me a better foundation than any of the others I’ve tried, and Henry’s directions have been the easiest to digest. I would say that this might be a bit more daunting for absolutely new meditators compared to other apps, however for the more “intermediate” folks, The Way is perfect. The path to awakening has never felt so clear.

Henry’s approach is so welcoming and gentle…I love the progression and that I don’t have to choose what meditation to do everyday…I simply follow the path!

I love the simplicity of the approach and Henry’s calm demeanor is so helpful during sits - helps the self-critical voice that has often popped up with other meditation approaches. This path has become central to my day and general state of mind.
