5 Apps for Personal Growth and Spirituality

I Ching HD

For those who aren’t familiar with the I Ching, or “The Book of Changes” as it is known in China — it’s a 4000 year old book of ancient philosophy and wisdom. The book is never read sequentially. Instead, users toss coins (in this case, virtual coins on your iPad screen) and the appropriate passage from the book of changes “answers” your question. Skeptical? I was too. But the amount of wisdom contained in these pages is nothing short of amazing. Anything that’s lasted for 4000 years, and still read every day by hundreds of millions of people is probably worth checking out! Fortunately, I Ching Explorer not only features a very easy to understand translation of the original text, but features beautiful graphics, animation and a rich soundtrack. Check it out. Toss the coins for yourself, and prepare to be amazed.

Meditate – Meditation Timer

Do you meditate? I’m just beginning to, and I’m by no means an expert — but already I can feel how much extra energy and mental focus it gives me. The Meditate – Meditation Timer lets you set timed events for your meditation cycle: Prep time, repeating intervals, cool-down time, etc. You can track your meditation statistics over the course of days — and the app will even handle interruptions (for those of us who live in the real world — not some Tibetan monestary) and recover the session at a later time.
