Very difficult to relax with her tempo and tone.

It is as if she is describing rather than guiding. Comes across as directions. Not a relaxing presentation.

Great concept poorly carried out

21 days 10 minutes, a different meditation each day, sounds great. Music in the background louder than the narrator, narrator does not allow any pauses of silence which made concentrating very difficult.

Not great

This is a very shallow sort of meditation, often focused on repeating and believing words rather than building deeper awareness. Just focus on the actual sensations of the breath, or try Shinzen Young or even Headspace.

Awesome, except for the parts that aren't

Overall, this is the best guided meditation I've listened to. The music is soothing, and isn't distracting. The narrator is calm, and provides understandable and usable guidance. However, the introduction on the first track should be a separate track. It is extremely distracting, and pulls you away from a meditative state. The outros are even worse. If I've actually achieved a meditative state, the last thing I want is a wake up, slowly raising the volume levels and telling me I've "completed" my session. Just gradually fade out, and let me decide when I'm ready to revisit reality. These are some major flaws, but they should be easy to fix.

Too much talking

Too much talking and interrupting the meditation. It defeats the whole purpose of meditation. Thanks

Too harsh

This was non relaxing. The voice is too harsh, too fast. There is no feel of synchronicity or connection. Although these were free of charge, they will be dated from my player. It feels like you are in a gym session, getting fired up and ready to go hard. This is not my idea of relaxation.

For the whole family

6 months ago, tragedy struck our family. As a result, my husband and I ended up with our two teenage and one pre-teen granddaughters moving in with us. Of course we are involved in counseling and practicing our Christian Faith. But recently, I decided to introduce the girls to this Aaptive 21 days of meditation series. Every morning, we get up 15 minutes early and make ourselves comfortable in the living room. We put Jess on and walk through the a 10 minute guided meditation. Starting our day like this has made a tremendous impact to our lives. The level of stress has de-escalated, and although it’s not gone entirely— we are all noticeably more calm. This calm is with us in our day and in the way we communicate with one another. Jess’s voice and delivery are perfect. I like her so much, I don’t want to listen to anyone else! The girls actually request to do her meditations. Jess is so calm and lovely to listen to. I highly recommend 21 days of meditation.

Great meditation program!

This was probably the best meditation program Ive followed-and Ive listed to lots! The 10 minute increments were perfect and just enough time for me to zone out. I looked forward to the next day's mediation every day

GREAT TO TRY!

This is the first time I stick to a guided meditation, it has different objectives which make it interesting. I'm on day 17 and I love how it is now going into the chakra points.

Constant distracting chatter

I can't understand how narrator is expecting us to concentrate on our breath when she is constantly speaking. I decided to try this guided meditation only because it was available with audible subscription and was a little bit interested. Now I will just go back to guided meditation app I used, at least narrators there understand that novices who all ready have problem with concentration shouldn't be bombarded with constant chatter when they trying to concrete. And sorry for my English, it's not my first language
