Meditation Words & Bell Timer (v. 0.6.2) Разработано Isaac Potoczny-Jones at Animate Innovations, LLC |
Meditation calms the mind, increases positive mental states, and decreases stress. It's easy to add a few moments of meditation to your daily routine. This app will walk you through a brief breathing exercise, helping you to find a moment of calmness in your busy day. Or you can turn on the ocean wave sounds and let the app guide you in a loving kindness meditation to increase feelings of empathy and connection with all beings.
For zen meditation practitioners, this app includes a simple timer which rings a bell every few minutes, so you can meditate for 10, 20, or 30 minutes, etc.
The app works by showing words or phrases on the top of the screen for your in-breath, and on the bottom for out-breath. You can choose from meditations and prayers from various traditions: Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, & secular.
It includes calming ocean wave sounds, customizable breathing pace, indefinite repeat of meditations, support for tablets, and text-to-speech for the visually impaired.
Please email with feature suggestions, bugs, or texts you wish to have added. I try to be responsive to requests.

[2013-06-30] A Google User: Could be a five star Needs another voice. The mechanical voice takes away from the relaxation. |
|
[2013-03-06] A Google User: Enlightened This gives me great joy and understanding. I'm very happy I chose this app as a leading tool back to meditation. Thanks. |
|

|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: Guides meditation I wrote this app and I use it every day. |
|
[2013-02-03] A Google User: A thoughtful and beautiful app If there were audio as well, i could close my eyes, and breath in and out and hear the words. Can you include it? The custom text does not work: when i press start, the words i have entered do not show, instead i have the 'simple breathing" words. I would have loved to breath in and out on my words. Please fix it, if possible. Thanks anyway. |

|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Perfect app; no special permissions req'd Perfect- simple; does what it's supposed to; and doesn't require any extra permissions (THANK YOU!). ... My only request would be that you add the option for a bell to start the meditation, as well. |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: Too much Christianity This is a beautiful app overall, but I was disappointed that have the meditations were Christian, and if I wanted to enter my own text I had to install something else. |

|
[2012-03-20] A Google User: Helpful, nice, but buggy You have to exit the program after choosing a new custom set of words to use. |
|
[2012-03-10] A Google User: Good Innovative, relaxing. But no move to sd card. Custom texts need installation of text editor app. Worth trying. Thanks, devs. |
|
[2012-02-16] A Google User: Calming I love it calming, beautiful magnificent. Ten stars |
|
[2012-02-08] A Google User: 5*! The words increased my meditation time and focus. It creates a point of focus for you to concentrate on. Also helped reduce my mind chatter, so thankful for that. Highly recommended. |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: Great! Really helps me do my meditation! |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Very Good I like that you can add your own texts. In the past version to change from one of your own texts to another of your own you needed to push the button for an original text and then once that original was set go back push the custom button. How about more sounds like a running stream? |
