Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of gratitude meditation?

Studies link regular gratitude practice to lower reported stress and higher wellbeing. One 2015 study (O'Leary and Dockray) found reduced stress and depression after three weeks.

How do you do a gratitude meditation?

You settle with a few slow breaths, then bring to mind specific things you appreciate and let yourself feel them. Guided audio walks you through each step.

Is it better to practice gratitude in the morning or at night?

Either works. An evening review of the day is a popular habit and pairs well with winding down for sleep.

How does the 7-day free trial work?

You create your account in the web app and get full access for 7 days. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are not charged. After that, the membership costs US$39 a year (about US$3.25 a month) or US$7.99 a month.

What's included in the membership?

All 8 guided programs, the 6-week course Regulate Your Nervous System, more than 300 guided meditations and the daily tools (breathing, journal and habits), in your browser on any device.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from your account at any time, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
