The world can be a stressful place, but Mother Nature welcomes the anxiety-struck with a warm smile and open arms. At least, that’s the impression you can get from spending time with Flowing, the meditation app that is the App Store’s Free App of the Week.
Mindfulness can be great for mental and, for that matter, overall health – as Apple itself emphasizes in a video dedicated to mindfulness in the stock Health app on iOS. And downloading Flowing can help get you started with a regular mindfulness regime.
Developer Franz Bruckhoff offers six audio scenes for free, though you’ll need to pay to download further apps of his to enjoy even more. Each scene can be customized to your liking – you can, for example, increase the incidence of raindrop sounds or birds chirping. There’s also a clip with a female narrator delivering gently-spoken instruction that can help you to enjoy better sleep.
It’s all so soothing that it might even inspire you to get out of the house and spend some time relaxing in a tranquil rural environment for real. Until then, though, you can still listen to Flowing – and you’re likely to find yourself very grateful for it.
