** APPLE'S APP OF THE DAY ** Primed Mind channels your stresses and anxieties directly into achievements. A world full of distractions has given rise to the popularity of mindfulness and meditation. So it makes sense that many apps now aim to help you center yourself. Primed Mind's special focus, is focus. The app aids relaxation and concentration by preparing you for specific challenges - especially personal, sporting and business. By putting a mindset coach in your pocket, it gives you access to the sort of focus preparation that is usually only available to high-level athletes or business executives. Hosting a library of free audio clips that are designed to help you visualize and achieve your goals, Primed Mind frees your mind from distractions to make you single-minded about success. The app's emphasis on goal-realization is what really gives it an edge. Rather than treating mindfulness as an abstract way of freeing yourself temporarily from the pressures of day-to-day life, it wants you to channel your stresses and anxieties directly into achievement. For those who find meditation and relaxation challenging, Primed Mind manages to make it feel grounded and purposeful.

Learn to discover that all moments are sacred with guided meditations and your own playlist. Meditation is a great way to relax and reconnect. Be Still helps you learn to see the divine in the sidewalks of life, in the mundane and seemingly unimportant everyday life tasks. Discover what your best life can be. Be Still has two options: pre-made guided meditations, or create your own playlist to meditation how you choose. The guided mediations are in five categories: 1. The Groundwork - this is a good place to start where we meditate on Being Still, Being Present and other basic principles of meditation and life. 2. The World - issues that face the world as a whole - Justice, Peace, Nature 3. Life's Journey - meditations on what we personally can face through life - suffering, forgiveness, love 4. Body & Mind - let's look at our breathing 5. Coming Home - coming back to your faith tradition, meditations on Communion, Prayer, breathing meditations with a Christian focus. You don't want to be guided? Then create your own playlist/s. The options to choose from are; 1. Meditation introduction (male or female voice) 2. Select and Ambient sound; choices include bowls, forest, waves, rain, Gregorian Chant, morning sounds. 3. Decide how long you want to listen to that sound for. 4. Add some silence onto the end 5. Select from one of 4 ending bells or bowls Forget to meditate? Set up an automatic reminder sent straight to your phone. The Be Still community has grown out of, and is grounded in, the Christian tradition. However we welcome here all spiritual faiths and traditions who are united in the desire to be connected to God. Our hope is that this community builds to be what you need. Today people are recognising that there is more to life that what can be seen. We, at Be Still believe that it's great people are taking time to inwardly look at themselves to discover their potential. At Be Still we believe that the missing link is the Greater Being which connects us all, and if you tune in daily you will begin to recognize the gentle nudges that are around you every day, pointing you in the direction to live your best life. https://www.be-still.community/
