It's in-body, scientific with ancient origins, healing for the heart, empowering of the individual. This app is the best way to learn it. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2022-12-23, version 1.0.1* Helpful in raising awareness, growing towards my goals. Great for all ages, highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Nicely designed, unique approach *2022-12-23, version 1.0.1* I have no prior experience with heart rhythm meditation but have used many other mindfulness meditation apps. So far I’m really enjoying this unique approach. Content is appropriate for absolute newbies but also pairs well with experience in different styles. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend for both new and experienced! *2022-12-22, version 1.0.1* The Breath & Heart Meditation app feels very unique in a space with many different meditations apps. I love this app, because it focuses on heart rythm, breath, body, intuition, and soul. I also love that this app is created and narrated by actual meditation teachers, that all work together on a common vision of heart-centeredness. There are many Journey options, that include multiple practices in a single area, that include teachings on the fundamentals of this kind of meditation, and different collections like Cultivating Compassion and another called Creativity and Mental Clarity. Even if you have never meditated before, this app would be a great introduction into meditation and can keep up with you as you continue the journey with more advanced meditations. I also really appreciate that they have anxiety- and depression-specific practices. I can tell that love has been poured into this app by authentic and real teachers who want to spread the word on Heart & Breath Meditation. Would highly recommend to download and give it a try! ### 5/5 — Unique and impactful method *2022-12-21, version 1.0.1* This is a fantastic app with great content. Heart Rhythm Meditation offers a really unique, refreshing, and impactful way to meditate. The app is a great addition to iamHeart’s many offerings. Easy to use app with great tools to support your practice. ### 5/5 — Not your average meditation app *2022-12-21, version 1.0.1* Heart centered meditation is much more holistic and impactful than mind centered. Appreciate the HRV functionality. Great meditations! ### 5/5 — Cool!! *2022-12-20, version 1.0.1* Just started on this app. I understand it’s broad appeal even after just a few moments. Navigating is tractable even for a 70 year old!!! I look forward to enjoying this useful leap into a great set of techniques. Extremely well designed. Lovely photos to boot! ### 5/5 — Top Notch *2022-12-18, version 1.0.1* Something for everyone. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great for new and experienced meditators *2022-12-17, version 1.0.1* This app provides wonderful guidance, reassuring voices, and lots of opportunities to learn this powerful heart rhythm meditation practice. ### 5/5 — Breath and Heart is an amazing, multi-faceted app! *2022-12-16, version 1.0.1* I am really enjoying this app and all its meditations, so much variety and richness here! Thank you iamHeart! ### 5/5 — A clear, comprehensive and powerful experience! *2022-12-16, version 1.0.1* This is an amazing app! Incredible meditation practices that are simple, easy to follow and yield visceral results. Really great for beginners! ### 5/5 — Great meditations *2022-12-16, version 1.0.1* Feeling kinder after listening to Robin's Kindness Meditation! ### 5/5 — 20 plus years Condensed into an app *2022-12-16, version 1.0.1* Breath and Heart app is a result of many years of experience, practice, and research compiled by two mystic teachers, Puran and Susanna Bair. The steps presented and taught are organized and designed to allow the meditation student to begin as a new beginner or a seasoned veteran and rest assured you will grow and improve from either starting position. I began over 20 years ago as a freshman beginner and never quit learning and improving my meditation practice. It took me 20 years, but that time line will be dramatically shortened with the help of the Breath and Heart app. This app gets my 5 stars, because I have experienced what is being applied over many years and would have been much easier with the app. ### 5/5 — Favorite Meditation App *2022-12-15, version 1.0.1* I love this app. The feature for setting an intention is the most helpful for me. The app takes your intention and gathers select meditations that are geared to support and achieve the intention. They fittingly call these journeys. I receive my daily reminder for my intention and it helps keep me on track to practice my meditations. My day is always smoother when I start with this practice. These meditations have improved every relationship I have in addition to giving me clarity and discernment at work and in my personal life. This app has also helped me to decrease my neck and back pain along with improving sleep. ### 5/5 — Amazing meditations! *2022-12-15, version 1.0.1* Wow! What an amazing range of meditations, a range of different topics and incredible array of tools and techniques to explore. Thank you for creating this accessible and well organized app! It will help me take my meditation experience to a new level. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-12-15, version 1.0.1* I found this to be easy to manipulate and understand. The meditations are superb! A great way to meditate for beginners and experienced meditators. ### 5/5 — Such a calming and centering app! *2022-12-15, version 1.0.1* It is such a pleasure to listen to their soothing voices. I particularly liked Robin’s meditation. ### 5/5 — Heart Rhythm Meditation *2022-12-15, version 1.0.1* This app is chock-full of meditations that are not available on any other app. It shows us how to use the power of the energetic heart to transform ourselves. It is the only app out there that really shows us how to get deep into our hearts. Bravo! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Expensive & unproven *2023-01-04, version 1.0.1* Three reasons to avoid this app: it requires sign up (enter personal info) to get past the welcome screen, it costs $80/year, and I see no data-based evidence that it works. HRV is a useful tool, but it is not meant for real-time feedback. Frankly, I have serious concerns about implying there is real science here. Save money and time, this one is easily avoided in favor of a more mainstream app. ### 5/5 — Amazing resource *2025-10-15, version 1.5.4* I am leaning how to improve my respiratory function and stress response with this app and am grateful for this free resource that is packed foul of goodness! ### 5/5 — Becoming more embodied thanks to this app *2024-03-06, version 1.4.2* I was just lying down meditating with my hand on my heart and began counting breaths using my heart as a metronome. I really liked this and wondered if there were any heartbeat meditation techniques out there to try, which led me to HRM. Everything about this technique resonates with me. Though I’m just becoming acquainted with it, I find the information provided on the app thorough, well-made, and so useful. And the heart monitoring feature is so cool! I really love the idea of meditation that isn’t seeking to transcend the body, but instead to be more embodied. I’d highly recommend this app and this approach to meditation. ### 5/5 — Free HRV *2024-01-02, version 1.4.1* This is the only App that shows HRV for free. HRV is the most important parameter for wellness and stress resilience. Heart Rhythm Meditation is most effective for causing an increase in HRV. ### 5/5 — A wonderful easy to use meditation app! *2023-09-12, version 1.1.6* In a series of short lessons you can learn heart rhythm meditation. It will never stop paying you back. ### 5/5 — An Overall Awareness *2023-06-09, version 1.1.4* I love how I feel an overall awareness in my body after listening to the practice recommendations! Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Well organized and easy to follow! *2023-04-25, version 1.1.2* I love this app. It is very easy to follow and all recordings are clear. ### 5/5 — Fantastic ! *2023-03-12* Rich resources for learning and expanding the reach of your heart …much of it amazing free resource.. invaluable. ### 5/5 — Heart Rhythm Meditation *2023-02-03, version 1.0.4* In October 2022, I took a complimentary meditation course and began sleeping better. Issues that had been annoying me came to the surface and I was able to resolve them. I made the commitment to learn Heart Rhythm Meditation by joining IAM University. This App was released shortly afterwards. It supports me in my new medication practice with experienced meditation teachers. I just love it! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2023-01-19, version 1.0.2* I love the short meditation options in this app! I enjoy meditating but don’t always have the time for a longer session. The option to view your heart rate while doing a meditation is incredibly helpful for panic attacks. Definitely recommend for anyone who struggles with them! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2023-01-15, version 1.0.2* It’s been great to have this tool available for my girlfriend and I.
