About SXSW:
Started in 1987, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place early each year in mid-March in Austin, Texas. SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.

his voice literally makes me think everything’s gonna be fine
Indeed. Calm but happy
Positive, yet aware
Concerned, however spreading peace.
This man is a gift to this planet. Thank you Andy seriously.
Headspace is a life saver honestly
Headspace is amazing, i’ve never met anyone so knowledgeable and relatable Andy has sacrificed years of his life in the studio recording meditations and giving advice to make millions of other peoples lives better.
From everyone, Thank you Andy
"I'm gonna meditate the crap out of this!" 😂😂😂
That cracked me up so much 😂😂
30:55
"Please wrap up" 😂😂😂 this guy is pretty charismatic. Also, Headspace is great!
Thanks andy, you're one of the most beautiful human in this world to me
Lovely video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off guide for learning how to hack your flow state minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got excellent results with it.
Headspace changed my life. So grateful.
"it's ok", is the best lesson. Great talk.
Thx to
Thx to
You are so necessary for the world! Thank you Andy !
i can listen to him talk forever
Thats how you talk without trying to stir emotion. It makes you more concious in my opinion. Very interesting speech pattern
I traveled for work extensively over the last 8 years
I fully understand that madness he described.
I don’t think madness is an adequate definition.
I literally sold a segment of my life away. Hopefully I’ve learned better now.
Im in love with his voice. Calms down my mind
@Aquilaria's Dream you're the sad one.
I agree!
Andy's voice is so soothing. I'm always watching the ads of headspace and wanted to download the app, so I did. Now I'm listening to his talks haha.
andy has been a huge influence on my life i can never repay him enough 🙏
Just to be reminded that my essence is always with me... I just forget to acknowledge it... refuse to recognise this truth...
This is worth so much to me!
Love this App been doing it for 6 months now.
I'm quite a fan of Andy & the headspace, love how simple it is. This was a really good video
Grateful for you and what you created.
Thank you so much Andy. Meditation has been life changing🧡
thank you Andy, Headspace is such a positive contribution, thank you so much!
Amazing talk, I've been using his app for 1 month and I can see little improvements :)
Nath I hope you've stayed with it. It takes time and those little changes become gigantic. Once allowed. Good for you
Love the app been using it for almost 3 months his voice is very soothing and calming, makes meditation an easy achievable process.
Thank you Andy!
Andy is top notch
Great talk Andy
awesome guy- so motivational and he is so humble. can relate to so many things he mentions. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much
Tech isnt a problem, it's our relationship with tech that can be tge problem
Сильный, умный, целеустремлённый. ❤
Great guy
Love it - I used your Headspace on the ice-cream story! Love it.
Beautiful Man!
34:25 - On no, he's doing the _Sunken Place_ thing! (thanks for the video)
amazing
Yes
Timeless
My Master ❤❤
my bro andy spitting facts
I love headspace I hope there is arabic version of it
same for spanish (both latin and european)
Good to see Christoph waltz been meditating seriously now
yes
who is this guy I've already married him in my mind
Lol his voice has always made it a little difficult for me to mediate to. Relaxing but attractive none the less 🤗😁
Same. He's so down-to-earth and natural. I think it's the authenticity. In a world full of phonies, he offers up the REAL. It's hot.
😅😂🤣
I tried to download the app but it wasnt available in my country.we talk about spreading it worldwide,but perhaps some countried dont count
anyone count how times he says "kinda"
03:30 realy good
07:10
53:00
headspace app adds on sadhguru videos.
What is Mr. Andy doing now
I would love to have chip in the brain that implement all your lessons, headspace patent pending
渴望有中文字幕
I thought monks are not supposed to stare, especially at females . I was meditating in a temple in Thailand and when I opened my eyes the monk was staring at me don’t know for how long . It’s so weird to hear this again that monks observe lay people and make judgments of them,gossip. That explains why training the mind is so hard when there are visitors in the monasteries
Make HeadSpace in Russian.
I love his philosophy but the constant lip smacking bothers me a little 😂😂
babyriri01 He only really does it in the beginning. Luckily
his mouth is probably dry, he seemed nervous
ugh. can't unread. now can't unhear.
you just need to let it go lol
omg I'm not even five minutes in and its driving me crazy.....it takes away from what he's saying.
Could all these people like...You know. NOT cough all the time. I get it, you shouldnt see sounds as an obstacle and all, but oh my lord that coughing was getting pretttyy annoying.
Keep the dollars coming in Andy ha ha
Yeah when you give real value to others they even put their hand in their pocket and pay you
Amazing animations but the app is really a money grab. Why? Because 95% of the meditations are exactly the same and if they mention different techniques it's still the same thing with a different name. For example in one pack they talk about "Noting" and the other they call it "Focused Attention". What are they? You are allotted a period of time to observe thoughts and when they appear you gently dismiss them. You perform exactly the same thing but use different names and in packs for "depression" or "anxiety" the only difference you'll get is a bit of a foreword at the beginning of the course otherwise it's exactly the same stuff.
Pros
- Implies structure and development in specific areas
- Has an easy UI
- The videos explaining techniques are attractive animations
- The guy's voice is suitable for meditation
Cons
- It just all feels like hours of the same thing with different labels
- No breath pacing function
- It talks about it costing X amount per month but you have to buy the whole years worth in one go
- Huge gaps of silence during sessions I liked the free introduction sessions.
- No option of different speakers/voice actors
The free introduction sessions were well structured and got to the point in a digestible way using excellent analogies. I also appreciate and fully understand the idea of disciplining your mind every day and giving it a chance also to rest.
If you want the £40+ out of this app just do this. Breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth for a minute. Then close your eyes and perform a body scan. Then listen to everything in your environment with sharp ears. Finish with counting your breath to 10 repeatedly for 5+ minutes. This is literally 95% of entire app. Wanna fall asleep? They ask you to do all of that then count backwards from 10,000 which is a flipped version of "counting sheep".
When you have been meditating for a year or more this comes across as really lazy stuff. Insight Timer on google play is just a hub of thousands of lead meditations you just have to trawl through what works for you. I really wanted something with structure and progression but I would only recommend an app like Headspace for a novice for perhaps a month. I am so disappointed it's insane.
pepsiguzzler86 Would you rather pay money to fund materialistic habits or drugs that enforce no form of self control, or subscribe to a practise that can be learnt and then used for the rest of your life? The guy was a monk for 10 years of his life and originally thought an app was the worst way of "Headspace".
For me a practice is something that is like a "work in progress" where knowledge and implementation are ever expanding and evolving. Just like with a doctor of some kind and their "medical practice". Perhaps I could have emphasised the positive merits of meditation more but my criticism is generally pointed at the idea that it's a bad app. There is a huge difference between saying that an app is bad and declaring that meditation isn't worth while. Come on.
Declaring that your were a Buddhist monk for 10 years and that you thought an app was initially a bad idea only makes sense if you are into clever marketing. A true Buddhist monk would not be invested in making lots of money and franchising something already open and free to everyone. The production quality and connections the guy must have to appear on the talk shows he has is also speaking of higher powers making large sums of money.
I also suggested a better app designed for meditating that is not only free, contains a huge database of lead meditations, has a breath timer but has meditations that truly cover various techniques for:
- mindfulness
- visualisation
- mantra
- hypnosis/trance
People don't "need" to invest money in meditation when there are so many free high quality resources. But people have the freedom to spend money on meditation tools if they want to, I think Headspace is an expensive subpar tool most will grow out of within a month. One that also doesn't do what it really claims with different courses for different ailments. This is all fair criticism.
pepsiguzzler86 You don't have to pay for a year. That's bullshit. The rest of your critique is also not valid. I'm using the App for a year now and have meditated nearly 2000 Minutes. I don't think at all that it's always the same. You have different techniques and different approaches in the different pack. Of course, Anxiety and depression has kind of the same exercise, because it tackles the same mechanisms in the mind. The app doesn't want to be a professional meditation app, it's designed for the normal person who wants to learn how to meditate. Breath counter? I never thought about that I needed that.
Headspace has nearly 18 Million users. That's a lot for being a "bad app". If you don't like it, fine. And maybe you are right, that they should offer more for the more advanced users, but it's still a great app for what it wants to be.
Just my 2 cents.
"Bad app" and "really lazy stuff" ... says the guy who guzzles Pepsi!
This is such a broad-stroke judgement you've made. There are a lot of novices out there and some non-novices who find this gentle, forgiving approach very useful. I've meditated a lot and listened to many teachers. None of them ever said to just spend a little time during meditation just letting my mind do what it wants for a little while. The beauty is in the reliable structure, sameness (maybe boring to you), and the forgiving *it's okay* approach. For all of this I am very grateful to Andy for sharing what he learned in his 10 years as a monk and meditation practitioner. As for pricing, I signed up during the recent 25% off promo, which comes to $6 p/mo. Most folks spend more than that per DAY on coffee -- or Pepsi!
pepsiguzzler86 at least he’s trying to help people mate. Should we begrudge him making a few quid
