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.
Very Good
I use a number if the apps from this seller including Simply Being. I find them very good. They do what they promise.
Best Meditation Series
I love all of the meditation apps by mind oasis. They are calming and well balanced. The music is always lovely and I like how you can mix and match music to words. I would not hesitate purchasing any of their apps, I use them daily.
Deep breathing
Deep breathing is really good but they are just way too short! The app does not have ability to lengthen the mediation’s, either. If I had known this before-hand, I never would of purchased this.
Very calming
These meditations and the journaling are very helpful. Agree with the poster who wrote that the music should continue after the guided meditations in case you want to continue. The journaling is also helpful. A good "mini course" on managing anxiety.
Great meditations
I love Mary Maddox's meditations. I wouldn't have gotten into meditation if it weren't for her apps. Pro tip, she also has a podcast through iTunes with many more, just search for Meditation Oasis.
My only suggestion for improvement is that it needs an option to continue the music after the meditation is done. Some of her apps have this and others do not, but they should ideally all have it.

Love At Ease
This is one of the best meditation apps out there! I love it!
Great app
I really like and have been enjoying this app.
Great!
Great app! Soothing voice and sounds
Great app
Great app
Great app
I really like the journaling available in this app. It makes you use your mind to help control the anxiety and stress rather than just deep breathing. If you use it, it really makes you think yourself out of the anxiety.
Not bad, could use Updates
It's not a bad app. I like the contents of the app as a whole.
I think the journaling process should be more in depth. I think you should be to enter different journal entries for every new day, instead of just one long entry you have to repeatedly type in.
That would make it more organized as user friendly.
I like that it has meditation and breaking stuff. The audio is nice too, since it's there but you don't have to listen to it.
But overall could use updates to make it a more day by day thing that's more user friendly.

So great..highly recommended l!
For the first time in my life I truly understand how powerful meditation can be! This is life altering for me. For anyone going through stress, I can't recommend this, and all of their meditations, enough.
Brilliant! So much calmer.
Last year, I suddenly developed panic attacks and general anxiety in-between the panic attacks. I had no idea why I became this way at the time, which led to more and more anxiety and depression... until I came across two things... This wonderful app, and a great book "Hope and Help for Your Nerves", which went a long way to explain exactly why i felt the strange sensations of anxiety and panic. Both the book (not related to Meditation Oasis) and this app worked together wonderfully and were the two instruments that led to almost complete relief of my daily problems with panic and anxiety. I very highly recommend this app... It is absolutely worth the small price.

a really great relief for work stress and anxiety
Mary's voice is a really effective pacifier. I've been using this app to calm myself when I feel anxious or stressed, as well as to guide my daily meditation practice. I highly recommend it!
Meditation
Love this app. Information is very good and meditations very good also. Listen 3 or 4 times a week on my iPad great if you only have 10 minutes.
