Brightmind Meditation

#WeArePlay Award Winner -- Google

"The only meditation app I’ve stuck with, all others don’t even come close to this level of coaching and clarity."

As Simple As Possible, But No Simpler

Brightmind’s motto is, “make it as simple as possible, but no simpler”. So Brightmind takes deep and transformative practices and explains them in practical ways. Making things as simple as possible—but not any simpler—leads to efficient and effective learning and growth.

Your One-Stop-Shop

In addition to daily award-winning guided meditations, Brightmind offers everything you need to maintain a life-changing practice.

Community Chat

Ask questions and share your experiences of practice with Brightminders from all over the world. Offer and receive support for any behavior change goal (diet, exercise, substances, etc.) in our Accountability & Support Groups.

Daily Sits

Meditating with friends is ten times easier and more fun than meditating alone. Join any of our four daily community sits! I (Toby) usually join the 12pm, ET sit : )

1-on-1 Coaching

Confused about something you learned in the guided meditations? Not sure what to do when this or that happens during your meditation practice? I got you.

I (Toby) make sure to set aside time in my schedule for one-on-one sessions. By offering information, accountability, emotional support, and inspiration, I’ll help you overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities in your meditation practice.

Retreats

Retreats—more so than daily practice—change the way your mind works. Retreats really move the needle. They’re also a great way to connect with Brightmind’s global community of dedicated practitioners. We gather for four hours on the fourth Saturday of every month.

About Us

Toby Sola

Toby Sola is dedicated to helping you create a feedback loop between your meditation practice and your ability to make the world a better place. So the more you meditate, the more effective you are in the world. And the more effective you are, the deeper your meditation practice becomes.

Toby has been teaching meditation for two decades. His craft as a teacher has been refined through years of monastic training and close collaboration with the world-renowned teacher Shinzen Young. Toby is an award-winning designer and the founder of Brightmind.

Shinzen Young

Shinzen Young trained for a decade in monasteries in Asia, and has been teaching in the West for over 50 years. As the Co-director of the SEMA lab, he’s now at the forefront of contemplative neuroscience. So Shinzen is unique in that he brings together an authentic and deep understanding of meditation with the rigor and precision of modern science.

Shinzen likes to say of himself: “I’m a Jewish-American Buddhist teacher who got turned on to comparative mysticism by an Irish-Catholic priest and who has developed a Burmese-Japanese fusion practice inspired by the spirit of quantified science.” : )
