    Getting started is often the hardest part of meditation. This video offers tips on how to begin a meditation practice with the Headspace app.

    If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to meditate but didn’t know where to start, this video is for you. Headspace is a third-party meditation app: you can download the Headspace app and follow the step-by-step instructions in the video. According to Headspace, the app is designed to guide beginners into a regular meditation practice. Headspace’s own site cites research, including a 2018 PLOS One study (Champion) that it describes as showing a 12% decrease in stress after 10 days of use. These are the app’s claims about its product, and results vary from person to person.
