Headspace is meditation, but not as you know it.

It’s a practical, accessible approach to meditation, designed especially for modern day living which is why you’ll find all our bespoke tools and support available online - and even on your mobile.
New York, NY, May 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Headspace was set up by Andy Puddicombe and Rich Pierson. Andy is a former Buddhist monk and a registered Clinical Mindfulness Consultant. With a wealth of personal and professional experience, he presents meditation in a unique, humorous and easy-to-learn way. Rich had a successful career in brand marketing before experiencing the benefits of meditation. But once he’d seen the potential there was no going back. He now uses the same passion and creative flair of his former career to help Andy demystify meditation.
"Aside from the greater sense of calm and clarity you’ll experience, there are lots of scientifically proven benefits to practicing meditation (or 'mindfulness' as it’s sometimes known). So, if you or anyone close to you has ever struggled with feelings of anxiety, depression, compulsion, emotional instability, muscle tension, fatigue or insomnia (to name but just a few of the symptoms studied), then you’ll be relieved to know that meditation has been shown to be an extremely effective intervention for them all." - Andy Puddicombe
An integral part of Headspace is the Headspace Foundation, which ensures that the project is about more than just profit. In fact, running costs aside, all of their profits go to support charitable projects carefully selected by the foundation.
Headspace also work more closely with these projects, allocating free seats at Headspace events and running tailor made sessions for their employees and beneficiaries.
