Body Scan Meditation by Unyte

I am trying this app without the iom blue. I tried it on my mini iPad and on my iPhone. It's very slow to start on either device. I tried both because of its slow start. I thought the newer iPhone might make it more responsive. It didn't. If you want the help, which you probably will think you need the first time because it is so slow to start, it takes you out of the game to a website. Then, you have to re-enter the game. When you start, you'll find you can't hear the zen master, so you'll have to turn his voice up to 100% and the music way down. The breathing rhythm he started with was way to quick for my liking. I had to set it to "very difficult" to get a breathing rhythm slow enough that I could match with a deep breath. I turned the breath cycle to highest and chose most difficult. I realize I'm a musician and I have done deep breathing exercises in yoga for years, but where do you go if you start out at the highest settings? On the other hand, once the breathing was matched, it was a nice experience. Might be a lot better with the iom blue. I should say the reason I was so interested in trying this is because I used the wild divine games several years ago and was very impressed with them. I'm glad I tried the free app before spending the money on the full game. I'll wait to hear responses from others before investing in the full game or the iom blue.

The guided meditation in this free app is quite nice. I wouldn't get the iOM Bluetooth HRV monitor device. I wish I could return it as it's $100 not well spent and doesn't enhance my ability to relax. In fact it gets in the way of relaxing. There are obviously some bugs they have to work out with it. The iOM paired easily enough but it goes in and out, interrupting the meditation session. Also, the directions say the Buddha glows purple and yellow, depicting your level of relaxation based on heart rate variability. However mine glows blue and lime green. Not a problem necessarily but the wild divine support said I needed to adjust the color on my phone (not possible), to delete and reload the app (did it, nothing changed), and to read the knowledge pages on the website (did that before contacting support and nothing there to help). I thought it might just be a new feature and the directions had not caught up with the app. Support said no, it was a problem with my phone. While the idea of the biofeedback app is a nice one and I admire all the people who support WD this just isn't yet ready yet for prime time. With this experience, I'm not willing to pay for the $10 program with WD. I'm suspecting the Bluetooth device is the problem.

I used some of the old Wild Divine products back in the day, so it was nice to hear they finally got around to making some apps! The program is really simple to pick up on, you can change the difficulty, breathing rate etc, and I like the different color Buddhas and backdrops for it. I prefer to use this right before bed -- it's definietly a good way to decompress at the end of the day. The fact that its free is a nice bonus -- there's really not much reason for anyone who likes to meditate to not try this out!

Great app! A fun way to learn meditation. Watching the Buddha statue change colors as your breathing relaxes and your heart rate and body temperature decrease helps you to stay focused on your breathing and aids in decreasing the racing mind effect most have trouble overcoming when meditating. Make sure your Bluetooth is enabled and all other apps are closed. Iom Blue clip works best on finger or on skin between thumb and first finger. Highly recommend for iPhone 6.
