Meditation apps aim to lift the spirits, calm the stressful

By Natasha Baker | Reuters

TORONTO (Reuters) – In a bad mood but not sure why? New smartphone apps provide short guided meditations designed to help users return to a positive state of mind.

Stop, Breathe & Think, a free iPhone app, prompts people to check how they are feeling mentally, emotionally and physically and will recommend three guided meditations between five and 10 minutes long.

“We wanted to give people a friendly and accessible tool to develop these skills – something they could easily integrate into their daily routine,” said Jamie Price, executive director of Tools for Peace, a California-based non-profit which developed the app.

It aims to help people feel more grounded, calmer and happier, he added, and to recognize emotions and impulses and to react positively.

  1. I have never meditated and I don’t think that I could do it. But, I was just saying that this has been and will continue to be a very stressful week for me.

    I wish that I could figure out what it is that you do with your thoughts when you are supposed to be meditating. I just don’t understand how it works.
