Yes, There’s a UCLA App for Mindfulness

By UCLA50Plus • December 11, 2019

With the easy-to-use UCLA Mindfulness app, you can practice mindful meditation anywhere, anytime, with guidance from the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center.

Scientific research shows mindfulness can help manage stress-related physical conditions, reduce anxiety and depression, cultivate positive emotions and help improve overall physical health and well-being.

Mindfulness is the practice of training the mind to be present through moment-to-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, body sensations and environment. Mindfulness promotes an attitude of openness, curiosity, and a willingness to be with our experience. Through regular practice, taught through this app, you can develop a meditation practice and learn to bring more mindfulness into your daily life.

This app offers:

Basic meditations, in both English and Spanish, to help you get started.
Wellness meditations for people suffering from challenging health conditions.
Informative videos explaining how to begin, supportive meditation postures and the science of mindfulness.
Weekly podcasts from UCLA's Hammer Museum -- a 30-minute meditation on different themes you can search for and bookmark.
A timer to meditate on your own.
