Meditate as deeply as a Zen monk, literally at the touch of a button! TinaReads, Still on the fenceI'm still on the fence about this app. I almost gave it five stars.
In case you're wondering each of the meditations are 30-31 minutes long (with the exception of the introductory meditation). I've only completed the introductory meditation (which is only about 20 minutes long) and the weight-loss meditation. I was a little disconcerted to find that the weight-loss meditation had a rather abrupt ending rather than fading out or otherwise coming to a conclusion. I really enjoy the music, the rain falling, and the 'breathe in, breathe out ' video. I found this all to be very relaxing and helpful in deepening my meditation. Contrary to what you might expect, there is no discernible speaking in this meditation.
It is simply the music and rain. For that reason, I found 30 minutes to be rather long. (Note I am only used to doing a 20-minute meditation.). If you could adjust the time on the meditation and if it had a more pleasing ending, I probably would have rated this five stars. HelpingOut, Probably worth itI was recommended to check out Centerpointe so I looked for an app first, and found this.
After listening to the free demo I decided to buy the full app despite the 2 year old reviews.One old review that had me concerned has been improved. The tracks fade out beautifully at the end.While this app does keep my screen 'live' the full time while playing, potentially decreasing my battery, the graphics are soothing. However I tend to close my eyes so it would be nice to save my battery too.You cannot use this app and multi task on your phone.LOL!
But it's a meditation app so what do you expect!! Meditate!:)I do wish there were better instructions since this is my first exposure to CenterPointe. How often should I play tracks? What is meditation mode and how should that be used as compared to the other tracks? For best results shall I choose one track and play it multiple times over multiple days, or shall I listen to all tracks tha interest me on a rotating basis? What time of day?
While meditating shall I direct my thoughts towards the concept of that track, or is it working non matter what thoughts begin to cross my mind as I listen?It's interesting anyway. Their full website does give more information. I still think it is probably with the money I've spent, and appreciate that it is not a monthly subscription.
