The Practice - Meditating to Transcend using AST. Auto Self Transcending (AST) Meditation uses effortless bija-mantra repetition to enter pure awareness, akin to stilling the mind in deep sleep, but with full self-awareness. This ancient Vedic-Śramana practice involves two phases: inward (transcending) and outward (normalization), mimicking the restorative effects of sleep. It fosters neurophysiological balance while enhancing conscious experience. Benefits include improved memory, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Our Technology - Experience the New Era of Transcending Meditation with Transcendometer® Vīrya’s Transcendometer® is our proprietary engine for objectively measuring Auto Self-Transcending (AST) meditation. In our Guided app, the Apple Watch Ōura ring & WHOOP Band captures real-time data on your body’s recovery—tracking key markers of physiological normalization and stress relief—while our EEG app records precise brain activity to pinpoint transcending moments. Our Self-Regulation Quality Index (SRQI) quantifies how effectively your body recovers during Dive sessions by analyzing heart rate decreases along with metrics like HR variability, sleep quality, calories burned, and workouts. Each session refines your personalized biometric model, providing actionable insights to optimize recovery, elevate well-being, and transform your transcending journey. Engage in Transcendometer® Dive sessions on our EEG and Guided apps to build a personalized biometric model that boosts your health and well-being through daily transcending analysis. VLĪS Analytics Remembering every detail of your transcending sessions can be challenging. With Virya's VLĪS Analytics, you can effortlessly track the subjective experiences that follow your meditation and view your progress in a clear, easy-to-read chart—giving you a chance to reflect on your journey. When combined with Transcendometer® Heart Tracking, it creates your personalized biometric model, designed to enhance your health and well-being through detailed analysis of your daily transcending practice. Habit powered by Transcendometer® Building a 20-minute, twice-daily habit can be challenging. Habit Assist AI notifications help you stay consistent, boosting your transcending endurance—even on busy days. Paired with Transcendometer® Heart Tracking, which monitors your biometric model, you’ll see measurable changes in normalization between sessions and notice the impact of any missed ones. Unwind & Realign Series: MindStill-ness x MindFull-ness. Begin with the Unwind Guided Series to cultivate mindfulness and heighten your present-moment awareness before your transcending session. Then, enhance your practice with the Realign Series—a guided gratitude journey that uses the power of mindfulness and the law of attraction to manifest your desires after your session. I meditate to Tranścend. During the Tranścend Program using neurofeedback and brain-computer interfacing (BCI), you’ve built the foundation of your personalized biometric AI model. Enhance that foundation with our Guided Transcendometer® Heart Tracking, which continually refines your model with data-driven insights to elevate your overall well-being. Other Traditional Brands. Traditional approaches like Transcendental Meditation, Vedic Meditation, Sahaj Samadhi, Ziva Technique, and 1GiantMind lack the seamless integration of personalized biofeedback that puts real-time insights into your health and well-being at your fingertips during your daily transcending practice. Our technology and services are designed to enhance your daily transcending practice by fostering mental stability, cognitive and emotional intelligence, and a healthier, more successful life. Vīrya's Guided Transcendometer® app and its ECG analysis are not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any medical condition.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Declutter The Mind Meditation at 4.9 against Vīrya Guided's 4.0. Declutter The Mind Meditation also leads on ratings volume (944 vs 5). Vīrya Guided's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Declutter The Mind Meditation sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Vīrya Guided sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Declutter The Mind Meditation holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Declutter The Mind Meditation has 944 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Declutter The Mind Meditation's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vīrya Guided's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Declutter The Mind Meditation ships an update every 2 months, Vīrya Guided every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
