Why Buddhify?

By Andrew Conrad, LPC Intern

It’s simple, colorful, and oh-so-useful. That’s why. Your home base for the Buddhify app is a color wheel with an assortment of meditation topics and contexts radiating from the center. Everything is right there in front of you without having to scroll or tap through endlessly.

The Buddhify color wheel organizes your meditation and mindfulness.

Features include choosing your meditation for stress, walking, work breaks, traveling, sleep, waking up, and much more. It’s easy to edit and customize your meditation wheel, and there are a number of wheels to load with more focused content for tough times, sleep issues, and even meditating with friends. Plus, you can switch to the Kids Wheel if little Connor and Ella need to calm down and hit the reset button for a moment or two.

Each guided meditation is complete with a short primer to get you set up, delivered by calming, male and female voices from North America and Britain. You can even set a timer with traditional chimes to take off on your own DIY excursion. In addition, Buddhify has a Foundations page that explains topics like “How mindfulness works” and “How to measure progress” to deepen your understanding and skills. 

The coolest feature is the Give section. Here, the creators have built in the ability for you to share meditations with your friends and loved ones, without them needing the app! It’s simply the nice idea of passing along something thoughtful and helpful.

Unlock new areas with a paid membership that include using your own voice to guide a meditation for friends and family, longer meditations, and richer stories and skills training.
