    Yeah, sometimes. In Germany, if you’re a college student, you can get access to the app 7Mind for free (see Campus College). I think for me it really depends on the day. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes it doesn’t help a lot. It usually doesn’t harm - I just sometimes am not really able to relax. Part of the practice though is to learn that that’s okay. I am still in the process of learning that not being able to relax and be with your thoughts is absolutely okay! Thus, meditation for me is more about checking in with me how I’m feeling. If it helps me relax - great! If not - perfectly fine, then I now know that I’m not relaxed.
