This video is of my first experience using the HeadSpace guided meditation app suggested to me by

Hive account@greencross, actually my first experience doing any real meditation. After words I give a quick review of what I thought of the experience and how it left me feeling. Check the video out and hey maybe try your first meditation along with me I recorded the whole thing!

First Meditation EVER

I have never really had an interest in trying to meditate till now. Struggling with wondering/random thoughts and keeping myself focused I decided to give it a go I mean it can't hurt right?
Just about everyone has suggested to me to try meditating, free my mind from the stress I feel on a daily basis
Decided to try a guided meditation as I really have no idea what it is all about in the first place

Thank You Hive account@greencross

Hive account@greencross suggested this app to me while we were discussing what has helped him with his times of struggle
He also offered to give me his free month trial, the HeadSpace app has a free option which I am using now yet I am certain that the paid service will go much more in depth so I may take you up on this offer!
I am glad you were able to find this option and make use of it, thanks again for the refferal

I Love the guys voice, very relaxing to listen to

Conclusion

I definitely noticed a increase in my focus upon completing my first session
Noticed while doing editing that my tone changed, maybe just mimicking the voice I was listening to but I think that is a good sight of its effectiveness on me
I will try it next time after my shower, more comfortable in my own skin, I became aware of how stiff I feel almost suddenly while I was meditating
Guided meditation is definitely a good way to start into it, at least until I can build my internal dialog into something I can meditate to
