Description

Been using Expand: Beyond Meditation for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that gives you guided meditations to help you reach deeper states of awareness and focus. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you do: there are over 100 different guided meditations you can try, and they use this special Monroe Sound Science technology to help get you into unique states of consciousness. There’s also mini-courses and custom soundscapes – took me a while to figure those out but they’re actually pretty useful.

Look, if you’re into meditation and personal growth, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Expand: Beyond Meditation. I've tested a bunch of meditation apps and this one's pretty solid. The guided meditations are high-quality and really do seem to help me relax and get into a deeper state of focus. And i like the variety of options and the custom soundscapes are a nice touch. But it's not without its issues - the ads get old quick and some of the advanced features are a bit confusing to use. Overall though, a pretty good app for expanding your mind.

It is very difficult to rate the meditations when 4 out of the 5 times I have used the app, it has crashed after about 10 minutes. There are no...

The sound technology that this marvellous app uses has at least 50 years of research behind it and is continually evolving all the time. It's definitely worth trying it out...
