Headspace has become one of the most popular apps since its launch in 2012. It teaches meditation by founder Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk. In addition to simple meditation instructions, simple breathing exercises are taught.

The app offers minute meditations when you need a quick energy boost, and meditations focused on specific issues such as anxiety, stress and focus.

Headspace is ideal for beginners and those who need help organizing a routine. You can move on to more advanced meditations after some time.
