Mindful Science is a meditation and breathing app for nervous system regulation, in English and Spanish. It helps you practice calm through guided programs, breathing exercises and short daily practices based on the neuroscience of stress and the nervous system. No quick fixes Calm is a skill, and skills take practice. Most guided sessions last 10 to 20 minutes, and each program asks for one session a day for about one to six weeks. One session won't change your life. Practicing most days, over weeks, is how you learn to notice stress sooner and come back to calm more easily. The app is built to help you keep showing up. What's inside • 15 guided programs (181 sessions, 6 to 42 per program): Mindfulness Course (6 weeks), Stress Reduction, Managing Anxiety, Better Sleep, Breathe and Relax, Self-Esteem, Creative Visualization, Gratitude, Compassion, Mindfulness Levels 1-3 and more. • 38 guided meditations and 30 micro-meditations of 3, 5 or 7 minutes. • Breathing guide: coherent breathing (5-5), box breathing (4-4-4-4), 4-7-8 breathing and a longer-exhale calming breath, for 1 to 10 minutes, with a visual guide and an optional bell. • Practices: 50 silent micro-pauses of 30 to 90 seconds that bring your attention back to your breath, sounds, sight, touch and body. • Science tip of the day: 100 plain-language facts about the brain, stress and the nervous system. • Progress: minutes, sessions, streaks, achievements and your week at a glance. • A private journal to note how you feel. • Daily reminders at the time you choose. • 19 music tracks for rest and meditation. • Offline downloads of program sessions with Premium. • On iPad, the app uses the whole screen, in portrait and landscape. A plan that starts with your goal Choose what you want to change: stress and anxiety, sleep, a busy mind, focus, emotional balance, or clarity and resilience. Mindful Science recommends a program and a reminder time to match. In English and Spanish The app is available in English and Spanish. English sessions are guided by Eric, Spanish sessions by Daniel. The app follows your phone's language, and you can change it in Settings.

It is your ability to move from a stressed, on-alert state back to a calmer one. How long until I notice a difference? It varies from person to person. The programs are designed for daily practice over one to six weeks, and regularity matters more than session length.
