ZenBreath: Breathing Exercises

Good app, cannot import my music. Otherwise it does a very good job.

As soon as I opened the Anti-stress breathing app, I knew it would be helpful to me. The app played calming background music. It lets me customize the app to my liking. The only downside to the app was that you were only given a 3-day trial limit before you had to pay. Over the three days of using the app, It gave me multiple timed breathing exercises with soothing background music. After doing the breathing exercises, I felt more relaxed and less stressed. The breathing exercises helped me calm my mind from any outside stressors. This app's methods can benefit anyone dealing with stress or wanting to feel more at ease and relaxed. The breathing exercises this app offers can help with physiological changes like reduced levels of stress hormones in the blood, balanced levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and increased feelings of calm and well-being. This can be related to what we learned in class as we have discussed different coping mechanisms and techniques in class when dealing with stress. I think this app would be very beneficial to use as a coping mechanism or technique.

I just read the book “Breath”, and wanted a tool to help me do coherent breathing. This one is great! My only wishes: better inspire/expire trigger sounds and that the best of the music would match the inspire/expire timing.
