Waking Up

A New Way to Explore

Plus a simpler Home, My Library just a tap away, and everything else in More.

Home

Home still has the Daily Meditation, Reflections, and Continue Listening—but is now much simpler.

Explore

Where Practice, Theory, and Life have moved—plus conversations, search, Q&A, and clearer groupings of series.

My Library

You’ve told us you want My Library to be easer to access. You’ll now find it in the bottom navigation.

More

You can still find the Meditation Timer, your messages and settings, and other features in the More tab.

Get to Know the Explore Tab

Find New Content More Easily

We’ve grouped our library into more specific collections, so you can find what you want faster, whether meditations or popular conversations.

Practice, Theory, and Life Still a Tap Away

We’ve kept our core sections—only now, we’ve relocated them to the top of the Explore tab.

Access Conversations and Q&A Faster

We’ve also made all conversations and Q&As accessible from the top of the Explore tab.

Search Is Now at the Top of Explore

We’ve moved our search feature from Home to Explore—so you can more easily remember where to find it.

Other Features You Might Enjoy

Find Your Session

You can search for specific content by session type and duration. Here's a breakdown of the types you can filter by:

  • Meditation. Your classic guided meditations, whether sitting, standing, or walking.
  • Lesson. Typically shorter, scripted talks that illustrate a core theme or point.
  • Exercise. Guided sessions that typically involve activities like looking into a mirror, walking outside, or engaging in some kind of interactive experience.
  • Q&A. Any session in which Sam or another teacher is answering questions from members.
  • Contemplation. Guided sessions that often don't involve formal instructions, but are meant to evoke a deeper state of consciousness.
  • Talk. Sessions that were, for the most part, previously recorded live (think: Alan Watts, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, Charlotte Joko Beck, James Low).
  • Conversation. Longer-form discussions between Sam and a guest.

Customize Your Practice

You can extend any practice session—and add a countdown timer, starting and ending bells, and background sounds.

Playlists

You can add any session to a custom playlist, and access it in My Library. To get started, just save a session, and follow the prompts.
