If youve wandered off while meditating, youre not alone
If youre wondering if you are meditating correctly, youre not alone
If you have been bored while meditating, youre not alone

Make your meditation fun, while learning abdominal breathing at the same time.


The best way to use the app is to use the phone while performing shavasana (sleeping meditation / yoga nidra). If you wish to count breaths while sitting, you could slide the phone halfway into your pants, so that the phone moves when you breathe. The elastic on the pants belt line should hold the phone in place.

Set a target count that is comfortable and meditate on your breath.
Lie down on your back, place the phone on your abdomen and try to breathe at the target rate.
Press Done once you hit the target count.
