Waking Up

Waking Up is not just another meditation app. Whether you’re a beginning or advanced meditator, Waking Up opens the door to a deeper understanding of yourself—and to a new way of being in the world.

Waking app also set out to create a visually compelling app. That’s why collaborate with dozens of talented artists—known and unknown—from around the world, chosen because they reflect the depth, thoughtfulness, and quality of our content (think modern art meets legendary album covers).

Waking Up features world-renowned meditation teachers, scientists, and scholars to pressure test ancient wisdom. The goal is to invoke a radical shift in perspective using the best minds in the world to do it. This includes series and lessons on a diverse range of philosophies and practices—from mindfulness, Stoicism, Zen, walking meditations, and an “SOS” practice series that features emergency meditations for life’s crisis moments. We continue to add new conversations and sessions with luminaries such as Joseph Goldstein on the Buddhist meditation path, James Fadiman on psychedelics and the self, the incandescent poetry of David Whyte, and the compassionate wisdom of Tara Brach. We have many new series in development.
