Breathe. Listen. Meditate. Meditate Iteratively brings together guided breathing, sound, visualization, and quiet attention in a simple audio-visual practice. Choose between two complementary paths: Breathe • Nāḍī Śodhana — Alternate Nostril Breathing Follow a sun-and-moon visual rhythm through a gently paced alternate-nostril practice. Begin immediately with the five-minute Steady setting, or open Controls to choose a different pace, session length, guidance preference, or custom timing. • Prāṇic Journey Move through a guided visualization of five traditional movements of prāṇa—Prāṇa, Apāna, Samāna, Udāna, and Vyāna—followed by the Five Lights, the gap between two breaths, silent meditation, a gentle stream, and Aum. Meditate • Long Journey — 20 minutes A gradual root-to-crown sound journey through tones associated with Root, Heart, Third Eye, and Crown. • Short Journey — 5 minutes A condensed version for a shorter daily practice. The app combines spoken guidance, layered sound, breath-like audio, expanding visual fields, and periods of silence. Controls can be minimized so attention can rest more fully on the practice. Designed for simplicity • No account or sign-in • No advertising • No subscription • No analytics or tracking • No collection of meditation, breath, biometric, health, location, or audio data • Practices and preferences remain on your device Use headphones or speakers at a low, comfortable volume. Sit or lie down in a safe place where you do not need to drive, operate machinery, or respond immediately to outside demands. Meditate Iteratively supports breathwork, meditation, relaxation, and self-observation. It is not medical treatment. Stop if you experience dizziness, breathlessness, agitation, discomfort, or ear strain. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using breathing practices if you have a medical condition or are uncertain whether they are appropriate for you. Try. Observe. Adjust.
