About this app

THE WAY is a new kind of meditation app: a single path, led by an authorized Zen master, that guides you on a deep meditation training program. Study alongside Zen master Henry Shukman as you uncover the deep peace, love, insight and awakening that daily meditation can bring.

The simple path to deeper meditation.

With THE WAY, you will:

*** Never feel overwhelmed by choice. The Way guides you step-by-step along a single, linear path through all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling zen meditation practice. You never have to worry about which meditation to choose with The Way.

*** Experience real transformation and deep wellbeing. Progress along a proven pathway of meditation that helps you to awaken to the true nature of your mind, your self, and your relationship to the world. Explore Zen koans, non-dual awareness and other awakening techniques.

*** Benefit from an authorized Zen Master as your guide with The Way. Study with a beloved teacher with over 35 years of meditation practice. Learn Henry Shukman’s innovative fusion of modern mindfulness, Jhana practice and Sanbo Zen teaching.

HENRY SHUKMAN teaches mindfulness and awakening practices to a wide range of students from all traditions and walks of life. Henry is an authorized Zen Master in the Sanbo Zen lineage, and is the Spiritual Director of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His struggles and traumatic experiences as a youth, combined with a spontaneous awakening experience at 19, paved the way for Henry to develop a well-rounded approach to meditation.

On the journey of THE WAY, you can learn to:

*** Calm the nervous system, reduce stress on a daily basis and release trauma over time.
*** Enjoy a stress free life with our daily zen meditation app, The Way.
*** Prioritize mental health and get into a relaxation mode.

*** Access beautiful states of flow and absorption during meditation
*** Get tastes and glimpses of awakening - insights into your own true nature, and discovering what non-duality really means, and the deep freedom and joy it can give.

THE WAY works through a series of daily guided meditations and talks along a single path of practice. Through these calm guided meditations you will explore with Zen Master Henry Shukman: teaching from ancient Buddhist traditions, finding peace and unconditional wellbeing in the heart of our lives, learning how to sit with and process negative emotions, healing from past traumas, uncovering deep joy in the bare fact of being alive, discovering a deep and connected presence, understanding insights into non-duality and awakening to the true nature of reality. All grounded in modern mindfulness and ancient Zen wisdom. Experience Self-care, the sense of unwinding anxiety like never before with The Way.

Ratings and reviews

It is very helpful to have a guided pathway that you can do in your own time and repeat as often as needed. Even so I meditated all my life, I have learned a lot and have been able to really deepen my meditation. Love that you can adjust the length of the sessions. Just the basic free part is enough to practice for many months, as each lesson contains so much.

finding it easier to stick to compared to others I've tried in the past, maybe because it's just more focused and there's just less friction overall from the lack of choice which I prefer bc I tend to get overwhelmed when there's too many choices!

This is a very helpful app. It helps me with adhd. My thoughts and analyzing never stops for me. My mind runs a hundred mile per hour. And it never stops! This app helps me to stop my thoughts and clear my mind even for a few minutes. I'm new at this. but it's working. I need something that works, and it's helping! This is so amazing!

What’s new

In this update, we have included:

* Twenty bug fixes throughout the app, especially around audio playback and offline support


We hope this helps your journey on The Way!

With love and thanks,
Henry
