Your birds-eye view of the Waking Up app
Start with the Introductory Course
The Introductory Course offers a guided foundation for building a meditation practice and understanding what makes Waking Up different. It merges theory and practice, offering a short meditation and mindfulness lesson from Sam Harris each day for one month.
Build a well-rounded mindfulness practice
Practice
Find guided meditations and mindfulness exercises, from body scans and attentive breathing to sessions on deep rest and open awareness.
Theory
Hear talks and archival recordings from renowned teachers that explore the philosophy behind nondual meditation, like lessons from Douglas Harding dating back to 1969 and over 100 hours of audio from Alan Watts.
Save favorites to your library
Save sessions, series, and playlists to your library to more easily return to them later and keep track of your favorite content within the Waking Up app.
Curate playlists with your favorite sessions
Organize your library and curate playlists based on topics, themes, teachers, and your own listening habits. Keep playlists for yourself or share them with friends and fellow app users.
Download sessions for offline listening
Save individual sessions and full playlists to your device to listen outside of the app and without needing to rely on a cell signal.
