Smiling Mind: Mental Wellbeing

Smiling Mind is a meditation and mindfulness app that allows users to practice those skills in different settings, such as the classroom or the workplace.

When the app is first opened, the user is prompted to create an account. This can be done easily by connecting with an already existing social media account. The app then prompts the users to answer some questions, which allows it to recommend programs for the user. These are basic questions about the user’s experience with mindfulness, age, needs, and interests. The recommended programs can instantly be added to the users list, or they can choose to browse all the programs.

The app dashboard is easy to use and allows the users to view their programs, including their favorites. They can also search through their programs, individual sessions, as well as view all of the available programs. The dashboard tracks the user’s progress for the week, including the number of minutes and sessions completed. Each one of the programs is broken into modules and sessions, and users are able to see the time and progress of each of these. Next to each of the sessions there is a symbol to indicate whether it is an activity, or meditation, the time clock for how long it is, and the size to download it.

The app is free to download and Smiling Mind is a not-for profit organization. There are a variety of different programs to choose from and they are separated into categories including adult, youth, classroom, and workplace. We liked how the classroom category provided a lesson plan overview on how to incorporate the app into the weekly lesson planning. We tried one of the sessions in our high school classroom as part of a mindful minute break.

This is an excellent app for veterans, adults, people who have PTSD and anyone who wants to learn how to effectively use meditation and mindfulness.
