** Simple. Beautiful. Powerful. Meditation. ** ** ”New Apps We Love” -Apple ** ** “A piece of paradise in our pockets.” -Apple ** ** ”Downright Dreamy” -LA Times ** Meditation has been scientifically proven to increase mental sharpness, reduce stress and anxiety, and even improve physical health. Despite having an interest in meditation, most people don't do it for one simple reason: they don't know how. That changes today: as Eckhart Tolle famously said, "A single breath in and out is a meditation." It's that easy! Better yet, you can now supercharge your meditations by breathing to the sights and sounds of the ocean, deep forests, desertscapes, or serene winter views with our new meditation tool. Choose short, focused meditations whenever you need an extra mental boost or moment of relaxation, and rack up streaks by meditating once or more a day. Breathe, enjoy, repeat! Sky Tripping even integrates with HealthKit, recording your mindfulness exercises directly to Apple's Health App. Nature relaxes you—even when viewed on a screen. Sky Tripping goes further than any other meditation app by giving you a full suite of aerial videos which can play endlessly on mobile devices, on Apple TV, or streamed to any screen in the house or office. Take 5 minutes today to relax to some stunning aerial views of the Western United States.
