## What is Second Breath Daily Meditation?

Overscheduled but never present? Busy but never fully done? Accomplished but not content? Don’t let chronic stress and burnout rob you of connection, joy and a sense of deep aliveness.

Relax your body. Calm your mind. Open your heart. With a second breath, find pause to reflect, reconnect and respond to life more fully and authentically.

Second Breath is a unique mindfulness and meditation app. It was developed from the lens of the Christian Wisdom Tradition. It’s not about dogma or gatekeeping the Divine but about inquiry, contemplation, and discerning wisdom within. The app combines modern science with teachings from Christian mystics, perennial wisdom, and diverse spiritual practices to help you transform your life from the inside out – one spiritual practice at a time.

Unlock a range of benefits with guided and self-guided breathwork, prayer and mindfulness practices:

- Stress less and sleep better
- Enhance cognitive focus and improve memory
- Experience greater presence, more joy and deeper connection with self and others

Choose from five, ten or twenty minutes of daily centering prayer meditations. Select from spiritual practices designed to tap into the intelligence of the body, mind and heart. Deep dive with series on topics ranging from stress and sleep, to forgiveness, friendship and self-compassion. Throughout, benefit from the wisdom of Henri Nouwen, Cynthia Bourgeault, Desmond and Mpho Tutu, Thomas Merton and more; and the insights from social and science researchers Matthew Walker, Greg McKeown, Lydia Denworth, Ethan Kross, Kristin Neff and others.

Join thousands of users worldwide, from diverse faith traditions and no faith tradition. Subscribe and get full access to hundreds of spiritual practices and premium features like favorites lists and download capability for offline listening. An annual subscription costs less than $5/mo – that is, less than one fancy cup of coffee.

Great outer work arises from great inner work. But none of us can pour from an empty bucket. Take pocket spiritual practices everywhere you go and download the Second Breath app.

### 5/5 — Why is it shutting down?

*2025-03-11, version 1.0.15*

This is the only meditation app I use and I am sad to see it will be shutting down. Will it still be available to use or will it completely stop working?

### 1/5 — This is Garbage

*2023-06-13*

I wish I could give this app 0 stars. These people STEAL YOUR MONEY. They ask for 78.99 a year and then they don’t even give you what you pay for. I found things still locked even after I PAID. This is a lie it says unlock all contents and it doesn’t let you do this My recommendation everyone should stay away from this app. These people who call themselves Christians sure don’t act like it LIP SERVICE ALL THE WAY

### 2/5 — What exactly did I pay for?

*2023-06-07, version 1.0.11*

I paid nearly $60 for a yearly subscription. This should open and allow access to all locked material. Everything that HAD been locked however remains locked. I am Very disappointed and with no apparent recourse.  I am stuck with the “benefits” of a trial membership after having paid for an annual subscription.

### 5/5 — Lovely and practical

*2022-07-01, version 1.0.10*

This beautiful app offers a rich array of options

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2022-02-11, version 1.0.10*

This app is a such a gift. A friend recommended it to me and I could not be more grateful.

### 5/5 — So glad this exists

*2021-10-14, version 1.0.8*

This may be the best thing I’ve put on my phone (and incorporated into my routine) in years. I’m so thankful to whoever lovingly created it. I found you guys thru Dan Coke’s podcast. It’s helping me understand “how” to sit in presence and open up to this present moment. It’s fine-tuning my heart to Great Love. It took me awhile to jump to the paid version cuz i just kept listening to the “sampler” ones on repeat. Im so glad I finally did. The practices build on one another. Thank you. This has been a real gift to me.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use and Effective Meditations

*2021-05-07, version 1.0.4*

I felt a strong sense of the presence of Christ with my first use of the daily centering meditation, and am looking forward to this becoming a part of my daily spiritual practice.

### 5/5 — Loving This App!

*2021-05-03, version 1.0.4*

I’ve been looking for this app for a long time. It’s a great mix of meditation and teaching. I really like all of the tools and styles that are as varied as all of us. I’ve been using it everyday fro weeks and, at times, more than once a day. I’m excited to see what is added over time.

### 5/5 — This is What We’ve Been Waiting For

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.2*

This is the app that so many of us have been waiting for. It provides a framework for how good inner work leads to good outer work, drawing on Scripture, the Christian wisdom and other spiritual traditions, and the latest scientific discoveries. There are a range of spiritual practices for head, heart and body. There is a daily centering practice and an examen for the end of the day. As a pastor and long term student at Second Breath I’m excited to share this app with my congregation and friends.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2021-01-28, version 1.0.1*

As one who has spent a lifetime seeking to connect the inner formation of my spiritual journey with the joyful outward acts of community service and transformation, I am overjoyed to see an app that so clearly and unapologetically provides a path to follow!  
I love the clarity, the simplicity, as well as the specific language used in laying out the various meditations, how to use them, and what they are about.
