Welcome to the Headspace Community!

We’ve organised the Community around how we learn meditation and mindfulness and apply it to our lives. This is broken up into 4 sections; 3 of them around how we learn meditation and 1 section to share your stories.

Please read these guidelines before contributing, thanks!

Got a question for Andy regarding your practice? Please just send it to askandy@headspace.com. Unfortunately Andy can't answer all questions, but he'll answer a handful every week and we'll get back to you. If they're appropriate, we'll also anonymously post some of your answers here on the community. Please however let us know if you'd prefer us not to. We hope to help soon.

The way we approach our meditation will reflect the way we approach life. There are so many misconceptions about what meditation is, or isn’t, and what we’re supposed to be doing, or not doing, whilst sitting with our eyes closed. So this is the place to discuss our view, our attitude and motivations - how and why we’re getting some Headspace.

As an idea, meditation is incredibly simple, but in practice it can be rather more challenging. Obstacles are common and it’s important that we feel comfortable and confident with that, knowing that others are experiencing just the same thing. So, if you have a question or a reflection about the exercise itself or any element of practice, this is the place to go.

This is meditation in action. Pure and simple. How do we take that new-found quality of calm, clear awareness from our meditation and apply it to everyday life? It might be to improve our sense of performance, satisfaction, fulfilment, or even to reduce the feelings of discomfort for a medical condition. Whatever the reason, here’s where you can share your thoughts.

Here’s an opportunity to share your own Headspace Journey with the rest of the community. Maybe it’s changed your own life or maybe it’s changed the lives of those around you. We’d love to hear about your own stories, the trials and tribulations of learning meditation and your experiences of applying that to everyday life. Let us know your thoughts.
