Simplicity. Effective. 27 point reduction in Systolic.
I have had this app for years, I have tried others, and I currently subscribe to Calm. Calm offers stories and gabby sessions, which haven’t calmed me down effectively, so I switch to soft music on it.
This app is simple: no agenda other than calming the nervous system. It feeds into my Welltory app, which then tells me how effective a session was on my HR and HRV.
I take my blood pressure daily when I wake up. Today the OMRON gave 143/68 with average Heart Rate of 46. That was higher than usual (and I am being evaluated for possible bp medication). So I tried a session of “At Ease”, which took 8 minutes. It did relax me. I took my bp again: 116/63 with HR 46. That was a 27-point reduction in Systolic! That motivates me to work consistently with this app so I can achieve a more zen-like state and give my cardio system a break.
Thank you! I have the entire set, which had a small fee compared to other options. I heartily recommend!

This is a wonderful app.
This is my favourite app for relaxing and reducing anxiety.
Finally
I have searched for a simple but effective meditation method. Thank you.
I Was so tired of everything being a subscription and droning on and on about countless topics. I anticipate that many of those other apps will soon have meditations on in-grown toe nails or dandruff. Then happily charge you a monthly fee. Not for me!
To the creators of this app thank you. Please never submit to the subscription method. In my opinion subscriptions are contrary to the idea and purpose of meditation.

Disappointed
I have listened to Meditation Oasis for years. I thought this would be an expansion on many of the great meditations I have enjoyed. I was disappointed that there are only three fairly short and similar meditations. Had I know it is so limited, I would have looked elsewhere.
Not just for anxiety
I love all of Mary‘s meditations. This one is also useful for me in regards to depression and anger. Not just anxiety for which it is eminently suited.
