I have always struggled with meditation and mindfulness. I have ADHD and the practice is literally torture, but this app has helped me engage in mindfulness in practical ways. Having the theory taught alongside the practice helped me understand the purpose of meditation. Idk it been more enjoyable and I'd like to think I'm learning something about myself.
