But instead of showing like a heat map of where your hands are there are two different settings, depending on how many fingers you place on the app at a time. It’s similar to the Heat Pad app in that when you place your fingers on the tablet the app responds. Oh, and it’s free, with in-app purchases. You will conjure space unicorns and time as you know it will disappear. This app is for iOS only (sorry Android users!) This app WILL MELT YOUR FACE OFF. Last but not least, today we’re going to talk about probably my favorite relaxation app, which is called Gravitarium or Gravitarium Plus. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to get started meditating on a daily basis. It walks you through meditating, what the benefits are, and how easy it is. The language they use is very plain language. My favorite thing about it is that it is super easy to use and very….approachable. You literally just will never get to the end of everything that’s in its Headspace. Headspace is a straight-up giant meditation library. The library of music is also really cool because it’s broken down into time and genre. My favorite part about this app is that there is also a SOCIAL component so if you log in through your Facebook or Google, you can actually see which of your friends are meditating and using it near you. They like to quote themselves as being the largest selection of free guided meditations. This app falls into the same category as Headspace, Calm, and Relax Melodies. IN addition to the existing meditations and soundscapes There are guided meditations on there for many types of occasions, whether you’re focusing on relaxing or you’re getting ready for sleep. You can create your own soundscapes and save them. Sounds range from nature sounds, industrial sounds to musical sounds to animal sounds to all kinds of different sounds which you can mix yourself. So, each one is just hanging on a thread and you turn them off and mix their volume together. Specifically, you get these individual sound samples that are like hanging, almost like a mobile. He took a minute to tell us about this app. I was so impressed and so many others were too. Aha, or WITH us….to set the mood for relaxation. The music therapist teaching the training was using this app on us. I was attending a training at one of our regional conferences on wellness. You get wonderful nature sounds or relaxing music but then you’ll also have a just stunningly relaxing visual interface at the same time…a nature scene that is live. The other thing I really like about this app is that it has gorgeous visual scenes and it’s like HD video. My favorite thing about this app is that it has BEDTIME STORIES! So, if you have kids, clients, or patients who need some kind of de-escalation routine, this is really cool for that. I’d like to share here about a few of my favorites.Ĭalm is a giant meditation and relaxing music library. This realization led me to create a curated list of relaxation apps that my clients could use on their own whenever they needed to manage their symptoms. Meaning, I had to teach them how to relax when I wasn’t there. So I realized I had to teach patients how to fish. So, my relationship with them was very transactional. Second, I only saw my patients on average 1.3 times. First, these patients had very little access to music therapy, but they had 24/7/365 access to smart technology, whether it’s a phone or a tablet. A couple of things occurred to me while I was there. My job was to work with them on managing their pain, anxiety, and nausea during infusions. In 2013, I was working in the infusion center at UC Irvine Health, and I was working with oncology patients. ![]() ![]() But, technology has also given us some really wonderful tools as well. I’ll explain…. There are so many points of potential failure and inevitably, technology will fail us from time to time. This is a refrain my family hears from me a lot. I hate technology at least six times a day! 48 percent of people have trouble sleeping because of stress.73 percent of people have stress that impacts their mental health.77 percent of people experience stress that affects their physical health.About 33 percent of people report feeling extreme stress.We are all under extreme amounts of stress right now, whether it is societal stress, family stress, financial stress, stress about your health, kids doing online school….there is no shortage of stuff to stress us out right now.Īccording to The American Institute of Stress: ![]()
