  • Blissfully elegant and simple

    I have been a regular student of the Waking Up app (and love it), but I am especially enjoying the simplicity and clarity of The Way. Something about having only one path to follow is very calming to me, and Henry Schumann is such a kind, gentle and compassionate teacher, it’s a joy to listen to him and his guidance. I cannot recommend The Way highly enough. For some reason, I have found a special ease in meditating daily at least twice while using The Way. I wish the same for you. 🙏🏻
  • THE WAY is the one!

    Finally the meditation app I’ve been waiting for! If I could create a meditation app, this would be it. For those who can relate to being overwhelmed by the seemingly endless choices in a meditation app, there’s a better way…it’s THE WAY. Thank you for this extraordinary, simple, and beautiful app 🙏

    This app has not only helped with my daily meditation practice, it has also been a great source of sangha and support. Henry Shukman is a true inspiration and like his books, poetry, and dharma talks, this app is another piece of the journey.

    I’ve used a lot of meditation apps and have been practicing for awhile. The Way is a great introduction to meditation and helps deepen your own practice. The app is thoughtfully structured and it’s apparent that Henry has a deep practice along with a talent for teaching and helping others. This app is a great companion to an app like waking up and it’s especially great for those who resonate with daily progressive learning.

    I have tried so many apps, and this is by far the best. You build on the skills you learn with each sit, and it takes the stress out of picking the perfect meditation each day. Absolutely incredible guidance from Henry. I can’t recommend it enough
  • Deeply nourishing and brilliantly presented

    Like others here, I first encountered Henry Shukman on the Waking Up app, which I’ve used for several years (and love).. the two apps complement each other beautifully. Waking Up is the spiritual library of your dreams; while The Way is much more of a personal, focused journey. I’ve practiced meditation with a number of teachers throughout my life over decades, but somehow Henry is getting through to me in a profound way. There is so much loving kindness in his voice and instructions. I often find myself on the edge of tears and /or able to relax and let go more fully. And I’m grasping ideas with both mind and heart. There are subtleties that he’s able to convey with so few words. Honestly I feel so much gratitude for this app. PS I went out and got the Audible edition of his book, which is also outstanding.
  • Really user friendly

    I like this app because you don’t have to decide which meditation to do. You just do the next one.

    Having a regular practice for many years does not qualify me as an expert. In the contrary. In my experience the deeper I go the more questions that arise. I’ve not tended to use apps but…Following Henry’s path is a lovely adjunct with clear, beautiful sharing along the way. So grateful for this app
  • Henry is wonderful

    Unlike other apps in which you have myriad choices but no “path”, Henry has a clear, structured, and gentle approach that’s easy to get on board with and stick to. Not too much “woo” (a little can’t be avoided) and no religious dogma. And his voice exudes calm and kindness. His books are great too, especially as audio (he’s the narrator).
  • Perfect

    This is the best meditation app I have ever used. I love its simple elegance and effectiveness. It leads the user along a path and avoids offering a menu of multiple confusing choices beyond session length. Less is much more in this context. I am happy to learn from the wise Henry Shukman, but also offer my thanks to the skilled software developers.
