Here's a writeup of a study on the two:

I used Headspace for a year to get started and did mainly guided meditations, but I've switched to just a free bell timer app now that tracks streaks and minutes for unguided meditations.
I'm about to try to up my sessions to 20 minutes a day for a week to see if I noticed any differences by increasing the "dose." |
I've wanted to meditate for some time now (as well as stretch more) but just never get around to it and honestly don't know how. Do you "clear your mind", focus on something in particular, find a happy place, chant a mantra?
