## What is AURA?

AURA helps you find calm, one night at a time.

Guided sleep sessions to enjoy in bed with the lights off: slow breathing, body relaxation, soothing sleep stories, sleep hypnosis, peaceful journeys. The music keeps playing softly, then fades out on its own.

FREE, AD-FREE, NO ACCOUNT
No sign-up, no ads: just open the app and listen.

YOUR PERSONAL JOURNEY
From day one, AURA suggests a session for today and tells you what's coming tomorrow. The whole library stays open: listen to what you need, whenever you need it.

FOR EVENINGS AND NIGHTS
• Fall asleep, quiet a racing mind, unwind after the day
• Drift back to sleep in the middle of the night, without checking the time
• Sleep stories, told in a gentle voice
• Sleep hypnosis to let go and slip into sleep
• Sleep journeys: a cabin in the rain, a beach at night, a snowy mountain cabin
• New sessions every day

SOPHROLOGY: 20 THEMES
Guided relaxation inspired by sophrology, the French method: stress, morning energy, self-confidence, focus, letting go, calming emotions, facing a challenge, work breaks, deep rest, self-kindness, creativity, screen breaks… New sessions arrive regularly.

NATURE SOUNDS AND SOFT MUSIC
Rain, waves, river, forest, crackling fire: real recordings, on a loop, with a sleep timer. Plus soft music to relax or fall asleep.

4-7-8 BREATHING
An animated breathing exercise to slow down in a few minutes.

DESIGNED FOR THE NIGHT
• Lock-screen playback with media controls
• Download sessions to listen offline
• Sleep timer: 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or at the end of the session
• Bedtime reminder that tells you your session for today
• Favorites
• Dark, eye-friendly design
• In English, French and Spanish
