* Stay motivated and be part of a world-wide community of people spreading positive energy around the world. * Timed meditations. Specify the time interval before the starting bell rings and the duration of your meditation. The Tibetan bell will also ring at the end of your meditation to signal completion. * If you do group meditations, you can enter a name for the group. If other meditators are part of the same meditation group, you can filter the display of meditators on the globe by group name. So you can see the city and country where other members of the group are meditating. This helps in fostering a sense of group cohesion around the world. * Mindfulness alerts. Specify the number of mindfulness alerts to trigger and the start and end time window. When the alert is triggered, perform any action or mindfulness awareness practice you wish to be reminded of. For example, how are you feeling and what are you thinking at the time when the alert is triggered. This is a great way to train oneself to be mindful of their thoughts and feelings. Because the first step in learning to control the mind is to know thyself. * Displays the general geographic location (within 3km), on a rotating globe, of other users of the app so you know you are part of a community of like minded meditators around the globe. When you meditate the general location of your meditation (within 3km) is shown on a globe view for one week, showing where your spiritual energy is helping to light up the world. It is a great way to promote peace, happiness and goodwill to all mankind. * Free for life with one Tibetan bell. Upgrade to Pro and get many additional bells. Pro users can select which Tibetan bell to use. * Select audio from your own playlists to play in between the start and ending Tibetan bells. This can be guided meditations or any other meditation audio that you've added to your music library and have added to a playlist. Available to Pro users only.

Indigo 22 makes hypnosis audio for one person at a time. Every session in your library is written around your name and your life, then built and delivered just to you. There is a specific kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix. You know the one. You slept a full night and still woke up braced, like your body rested but your nervous system stayed on shift. This is the app for that. Indigo 22 is where your personalized hypnosis and meditation audio lives, so the calm you already have is always one tap away. Log in, press play, and let the sessions built around your name meet you wherever you are: the 2am spiral, the tight chest before a hard meeting, the long exhale as you finally fall asleep. WHAT IT IS Indigo 22 holds the guided hypnosis and meditation sessions made for you. Open the app, press play, and listen. That is the whole thing. No feeds to scroll, no noise to filter, just your audio, ready when you are. HOW IT WORKS - Log in with the email and confirmation number from your order. - Your library loads with your sessions already inside. - Press play. Listen with headphones or out loud. - Download for the plane, the car, the campsite - anywhere offline. Morning, night, or the middle of a hard afternoon, there is a track for it: - A daytime primer to start the day a few degrees calmer. - A nighttime reset for the nights your brain will not clock out. - A short reset button for the ten seconds you need one. WHO IT IS FOR For the overthinker who has tried the apps, the videos, and the breathing thing a friend swore by, and quietly decided nothing works for her. It was not you. Generic audio gets filtered out as background noise. This is audio built around you, by name, about your actual life, so it gets through. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Indigo 22 was built by Lori, a Certified Hypnosis Practitioner and lifelong engineer who has the anxious brain she designs for. She explains why the audio works instead of asking you to just believe it: your name slips past the brain's noise filter, a long exhale eases the nervous system, and gentle tones guide you toward the calm, open state your brain usually only visits as you fall asleep. It is rooted in science, and it is built to be used. And an honest note, because that is the brand: if a walk outside and a few deep breaths are handling things, keep doing that. This is for the days the free stuff stops reaching. NO GUILT, EVER Missed a few days? Nothing is ruined and there is no streak to lose. Repetition is the mechanism, not perfection. Press play tonight. That is the whole assignment. A NOTE ON WELLNESS Indigo 22 offers guided audio for relaxation and everyday stress. It is a general wellness app, not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition. Press play. Your nervous system will thank you.
