After Rain is a small thank-you to the teachings of Tara Brach. A quiet companion for hard moments, it guides you through RAIN (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture), a mindfulness practice for meeting difficult feelings with kindness. HOW IT WORKS • Recognize: notice what's here, and name it: anxious, lonely, tender, grateful, or your own words. • Allow: let it be, without needing it gone. • Investigate: turn toward it with curiosity and care. • Nurture: offer yourself something kind. A LOTUS THAT OPENS WITH YOU Each step opens a layer of a lotus. Sound eases as you go, until the last drops fall and it blooms on still water. Stay as long as you need. YOUR POND Each practice leaves a lotus on your pond, tinted by the time of day. Tap any one to revisit what you wrote. GENTLE BY DESIGN • Rain, singing bowl, wind with birdsong, or silence • Day and night modes • No streaks, no badges, no guilt • Works offline PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No ads. Everything stays on your iPhone. ABOUT RAIN RAIN was created by Michele McDonald and deepened into a self-compassion practice by Tara Brach. After Rain is made with gratitude by a fellow practitioner and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either teacher. After Rain is not a substitute for professional care. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a local helpline or emergency services.
