Also landing a spot in our review of the best mindfulness apps, our tester said: “Insight Timer says it’s the world's most popular meditation timer, with a free library of guided meditations at 30,000 and counting. Our reviewer found it really comfortable, saying: “We found ourselves lounging around in it on more than one occasion, so if you're looking for a yoga top that will take you from the mat to the sofa, then this is surely the one.” If you’re looking for bottoms, loose joggers will keep you warm and feeling relaxed. Lavender is co-director of the London and New York Meditation Centres, and has written this book to remind readers why it’s so vital to find time in your busy day to meditate. If you need a diffuser to help spread the scent, our reviewer of the best essential oil diffusers liked this Ellia Gather ultrasonic essential oil diffuser, saying: “When we tested it with lemon myrtle essential oil, it plays a choice of spa-esque music tracks and gives off a colour-changing glow for maximum tranquillity even in the face of life’s daily chaos.” If you’d rather have something a little more portable, Mills recommends this Neal’s Yard rollerball fragrance named meditation.
