Hi There, Thank you for your feedback. The overall mission of Headspace is to improve the health and happiness of the world. Unfortunately, if we don't have a healthy business there is no way we can fulfill this mission. Headspace, like many businesses, has a significant amount of running costs in order for us to produce the web services, apps and many other products that we offer. We employ people in the US and the UK and they include animators, illustrators, project managers, finance controllers, customer experience representatives, a full internal engineering team as well as marketing and community managers to make sure the message gets to the right people. This doesn't include all the 3rd party suppliers that help us create all the content. We employ over 180 people and we have produced over 1000s hours of audio and video content for the Headspace Journey. Not to mention all the scientists that we work with to help us prove the validity of our products. All of these people have families, mortgages, rent and food to buy in order to live a healthy and happy life. We feel very proud that we can play a part in helping them live the life that allows them to be healthy and happy. We feel very comfortable with the fact that we charge for our product so we can continue to run a sustainable operation and we feel even more confident of our products' value. We are continually looking for ways to make Headspace more accessible to our users. We sincerely appreciate you emailing us with your thoughts! I will be sure your suggestion gets heard by the right ears. Thanks again and happy meditating, Headspace

Hi Martin, Thanks very much for your note. If you didn't know so already, you can adjust the session lengths to your comfortability. The longer the session, the less guided it will be. Most people says that at first it feels more difficult to sit for a longer duration, but after a few days of adjusting, they can't imagine sitting for less. It's useful to remember that both the body and mind will adapt very quickly. The one thing that changes as you sit for a longer period of time is the amount of clarity you may achieve. The reason for this is that it doesn't take very long for the mind to settle down, and only then do we see the mind clearly. In some cases, this can feel a bit like a magnifying glass or microscope slowly coming into focus, all of its own accord. Ultimately though, quality is more important than quantity. Even one single moment of awareness is valuable. So choose a duration that works for you, build up slowly without putting any unnecessary pressure on yourself and try to tease it up over time. If you have any further questions about your practice, please don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected]. Best wishes, Headspace

Hi Doug, Thank you for your note. We like him and his voice, too! In case you didn't know, his name is Andy Puddicombe. In his early twenties, midway through a university degree in Sports Science, Andy made the unexpected decision to travel to the Himalayas to study meditation instead. It was the beginning of a ten year journey which took him around the world, culminating with ordination as a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Northern India. For more information on Andy, please feel free to visit: https://www.headspace.com/andy-puddicombe. And, if you need any guidance during your meditation journey, please feel free to reach out to [email protected]. Mindfully yours, Headspace
