Tiyoweh is a Seneca-language word for the stillness or silence that we encounter internally when there is no chatter coming from the mind's thoughts. Tiyoweh is the word for the Native American spiritual discipline translated literally as 'entering the silence'. Tiyoweh is a spiritual discipline that can reduce stress, control anxiety, enhance self-awareness, lengthen attention spans, generate kindness & gratitude, help fight addiction & transform fear into peace. Any discipline, followed faithfully daily, can allow a person to enter a serene state of stillness, and practice is the key that opens the door to Tiyoweh. Aim for half an hour to one hour a day of practice. Features Include: *Try a mindful shower using the new Timer Only option on Apple Watch. Set the haptic interval to one minute and set a timer for 6 minutes, beginning and ending with cold water, each minute switch back and forward from cold to hot, cold, hot and back to cold. *Start mindfulness activities on Apple Watch and record 'Mindful Minutes' in the Apple Health app at the same time. Aim for ½ an hour to an hour a day of Tiyoweh. *Automatic switching between light and dark mode on supported iPhones. *Watch Connectivity to set your daily goal in the iPhone app or Apple Watch App. *Set daily notification reminders to make time to practice Tiyoweh. Set one reminder for the morning and one for the evening. *Multiple Apple Watch activity types to choose from: Mindfulness* only, Mind & Body, Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Dance, Flexibility or Other. *Mindfulness only sessions on Apple Watch do not affect your daily activity rings and have a background processing time limit of only 1 hour. *Start a custom timer with haptic alarm or start an un-timed session. *View mindfulness history via iPhone app, Apple Watch app and Apple Watch face complications.

Finally, proof your meditation is working. Most meditation apps just play sounds and hope for the best. mindvoid measures those moments when your mind goes perfectly quiet (mind void time) so you can work on increasing them and see how you're progressing. The Problem We Solve: Maybe you've tried meditating. Sometimes it feels amazing, sometimes you just sit there thinking about groceries. Without data, you never know if you're getting better or wasting your time. Also Includes: * Guided meditation sessions that adapt to the length of your sessions. * Sleep mode - turn off gently so you can drift off to sleep after your meditation. * All night mode - leave your session going all night, along with sleep aid sounds to improve your sleep quality. * Visual patterns designed to anchor your attention non-verbally, to extend your mind void durations. * Visual breathing guide that also helps to focus and extend your mind void durations. * Logging and charts showing your progress in maintaining void time for longer. Who Uses This: * People who gave up on meditation because they "couldn't tell if it was working". * Insomniacs who need something between them and their thoughts. * Anyone who wants meditation to be less woo-woo, more measurable and more effective. * Light sleepers that benefit from gentle natural background noise for deeper, more restful sleep. * Overthinkers seeking actual mental silence. Stop wondering if meditation works. Start knowing. Your mind's quietest moments, tracked and improved.
