Description
Mindfulness means noticing and paying attention to what is going on in the present moment, without passing judgment on it. Mindfulness has been shown to be effective for reducing stress, improving emotional balance, increasing self-awareness, helping with anxiety and depression, and coping more effectively with chronic pain.
Mindfulness Coach 2.0 was developed to help Veterans, Service members, and others learn how to practice mindfulness. The app provides a gradual, self-guided training program designed to help you understand and adopt a simple mindfulness practice. Mindfulness Coach also offers a library of information about mindfulness (for example “What is Mindfulness?”, “How to Anchor Your Attention”), 12 audio-guided mindfulness exercises and a growing catalog of additional exercises available for free download, goal-setting and tracking, a mindfulness mastery assessment to help you track your progress over time, customizable reminders, and access to other support and crisis resources. Mindfulness Coach is free, doesn’t take or share any of your personal information, and doesn’t require add-on purchases.
Mindfulness Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD.

Ratings and Reviews
This App is Everything
This app is an overlooked gem. I think because it was developed by the Federal Government for Veterans people think it is sub par or not confidential. Neither is true. It’s an outstanding app for both the novice and the advanced student. The app is complete and can teach you meditation, explain mindfulness, support your practice when you need it, monitor your progress, and be your credible reliable mindfulness coach in your pocket. The graphics are soothing and the content sound and current. The app is FREE and does not track you. You have nothing to lose but stress, fatigue, anxiety, sadness, and the rest. You have everything to gain. Everything. What are you waiting for.
The BEST mindfulness/ meditation app EVER!
I downloaded so many mindfulness and meditation apps, Alot of them you had to pay for to get the extra features or they were complicated to use. This app has NONE of that! No cost what so ever! They have included some great reading as well as minful exercises to really teach you and help you be a better you and overcome whatever you're going through. I also LOVE the lady's voice, she's quite soothing. And they have extra exercises you can download - once again, COMPLETLY FREE! So if you're as frustrated as I was, having trouble sleeping or dealing with issues and can't find an app without hidden fees and that isn't super complicated - download NOW!
Love this app...but needs some changes
I absolutely love this app!! I downloaded a lot of mindfulness apps and this is my favorite. The only complaint I have is the voices and recordings could be done a lot better. Some of the recordings it’s easy to hear the speaker turn on and off the microphone. At least add a little music in the background to lessen that. Also, some of the voices are just not good voices for mindfulness. The app itself is amazing and by far the best I found especially for learning mindfulness! I hate to even take off a star... but the fact is... it could definitely be improved upon. Please don’t let this app just ‘be’. Make it even better because it’s an amazing tool in recovery!! I am a veteran and my therapist suggested this app for me.
