Staying calm in the midst of a global pandemic is no easy feat. Between scary news headlines, social distancing and a national toilet paper shortage, it’s no wonder you’re feeling stressed out! But that doesn’t mean you can’t relax and rejuvenate in the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n

According to a recent study<\/a>, scientists discovered that people with anxiety showed reduced stress on their arteries after a single hour-long meditation session. After meditating daily for a full week, their high stress levels significantly decreased.<\/p>\n

So it’s no wonder that people are turning to meditation now more than ever to cultivate a sense of inner peace. With so many options available, it can be slightly overwhelming trying to find the the \u201cbest \u201d apps to get started, so we did the grunt work and tested dozens of them for you.<\/p>\n

Here are five\u00a0 meditation apps to help channel your inner bliss now.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

1. Headspace<\/h3>\n

The popular meditation and mindfulness app Headspace<\/a> recently began offering a free series for students and teachers to help cope with stress and anxiety. \u201cThere are a lot of unknowns in the world right now”, the company posted in their website. “To help support you through this time of crisis, we\u2019re offering some meditations you can listen to anytime.”\u00a0The new meditation series, Weathering the Storm<\/em>, is available now, free to everyone.<\/p>\n

2. The Chopra Center<\/h3>\n

Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone. Luckily, wellness guru Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey have teamed up to host you a free 21-day guided meditation journey from The Chopra Center<\/a> online.
