=================================================
Plum Village: Zen Guided Meditation App – Main Categories
=================================================

The Plum Village app is split into four easy-to-use categories – meditations, talks, resources, and bells of mindfulness:

Meditations

Meditation is a deep practice that helps us generate peace and calm, master our mind, develop a healthy headspace, and get deep insights into ourselves and the world around us.

Meditations include deep relaxations, guided contemplations, silent meditations, and eating meditations. Whether you have a little time or a lot, and whether you want to be on your cushion or applying mindfulness in your daily life, there are meditations to nourish, inspire, and incorporate into your daily routine.

Talks

Listen and learn from the wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh and other Plum Village meditation teachers.

Ask Thay includes hundreds of real-life questions asked to the Zen Master, like “How can we let go of anger? and “How can I stop worrying?” His answers are compassionate and infused with insight.

Dharma Talks are teachings given by Thich Nhat Hanh and others on how to bring Buddhist wisdom and mindfulness into our life. Rather than discussing theoretical concepts, they focuses on direct and clear teachings to relieve suffering and create happiness in our day to day lives. Topics include depression, PTSD, relationships, sexual abuse, fear, and dealing with strong emotions.

Resources

In Resources you can find a library of daily practices, chants, poems, and songs. These bring to life the practices taught in Plum Village monasteries around the world and offer ways to bring mindfulness into our world, wherever we are.

Bell of Mindfulness

In Plum Village monasteries bells of mindfulness chime at regular intervals. Everybody stops and takes three mindful breaths to pause from their thinking or talking, breathe, and return to their bodies. The Bell of Mindfulness allows us to have the same reminder on our phone.

We can customize the bell to chime at different time periods. Settings include:
• Start time / End time
• Chime intervals
• Bell volume
• Daily repeating schedule

A beautiful resource to support any mindfulness practice. I like to use this in conjunction with a variety of other mindfulness apps including insight timer. This app is a bit simpler but equally rich with video and audio recordings and texts in 6 or more languages. It is given as a gift, so you can use all of it's features for free if you like.

This is an extraordinarily spiritually rich and enriching app. Full of beautiful, insightful, healing talks, meditations, prayers, videos and much more. Many are just a few minutes long, meaning there's always time for a moment of app-assisted mindfulness. It is also beautifully designed, simple to use and easy to navigate. Truly a unique and precious gift.

Absolutely brilliant. There is a great deal of poor apps on Buddhism. This is wonderful. A huge amount of time and effort from some highly experienced and skilled practitioners makes this my 'go to' app. It would be excellent if the app showed which items you have already viewed or listened to as it is hard to keep track with so much content. Thank you so much.
