Sam Harris

Below, I have included a meditation by Sam Harris, whose work introduced me to the practice. A friend recommended Waking Up, encouraging me to explore the introductory course.

Sam Harris, a prominent neuroscientist, philosopher, and best-selling author, brings his unique blend of expertise and insight to the world of meditation through his app. What sets “Waking Up” apart is not only Harris’s deep understanding of the science behind meditation but also his ability to simplify complex concepts into accessible teachings that resonate with beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

What makes “Waking Up” particularly appealing to newcomers is its progressive learning path. Beginners can start with foundational practices that introduce key meditation techniques and principles, gradually building their skills and understanding over time. It allowed me to get a glimpse of the benefits that come from a regular meditation practice and I have not looked back since. I think it is a wonderful and easy place to start and urge you to give it a try.
