I&#x27;ve been (trying to) meditate for about four years now. I even attended a ten day silent meditation retreat in September, which I wrote about in another post. I still find it extremely difficult. People vary in their aptitude for meditation, and for those like me these &quot;aids&quot; are appealing. For myself, I don&#x27;t see the value of the apps; I&#x27;d just as soon use any of hundreds of decent guided meditations on Youtube.
