Somatic
Read full descriptionHide full description
Somatic helps you choose short breathwork and grounding practices for the body state you notice now. Use visual pacing, simple prompts, and research-informed notes to settle, re-orient, or unwind. It works offline, collects no data, and offers a one-time premium unlock. These practices support relaxation and self-care; they are not medical treatment or diagnosis.
