Waking Up is a meditation app designed to help users deepen their mindfulness practice and explore a range of contemplative traditions and philosophies. The platform offers guided meditations, audio series, lessons, and conversations led by over 100 interdisciplinary teachers, including neuroscientists, philosophers, and experienced meditation practitioners. Its content is organized around themes such as mindfulness, anxiety, stress, life transitions, sleep, psychedelics, and philosophical traditions like Zen, Vipassana, and Stoicism. The app aims to move beyond basic relaxation, encouraging users to transform their worldview and develop a more intuitive and comprehensive approach to awareness.
A core feature of Waking Up is its 30-day Introductory Course, which provides daily guided meditations and mindfulness lessons from Sam Harris, the neuroscientist and philosopher who created the app. This course blends practical exercises with theoretical insights, offering users a structured foundation for building a consistent meditation practice. Beyond the introductory course, users can explore a variety of series, such as The Koan Way, Meditations for Awakening, The Nature of Now, and The Spectrum of Awareness, each focusing on different aspects of consciousness and mindfulness. The app also includes meditations for sleep, lessons on noticing and awareness, and conversations about nonduality and other advanced topics.
Waking Up allows users to search for content by topic, tradition, or teacher, and to curate personalized playlists based on their interests. The platform draws on modern psychology and neuroscience to explain patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior, and integrates insights from arts and literature to deepen understanding. It is suitable for individuals interested in meditation, personal growth, and exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary science.
