Ma vs Arnasea

Let the drum guide your breath. No subscription. No noise. Ma is a minimalist app for breathwork and meditation, built around the Japanese concept of ma: the art of meaningful pause. Inhale, hold, exhale, guided by gentle sound cues. No counting, no experience needed. Set a timer, choose your practice, find the rhythm. Or combine breathwork and meditation into one session. - Breathwork: choose your rhythm and let gentle sound cues guide each inhale, hold, and exhale. Set your timer and breathe. - Meditation: sit in silence or with ambient sound. Set your own timer and choose guided or unguided sessions. This first edition includes box breathing, coherent breathing, 4-7-8, tummo (the breathing tradition behind Wim Hof), and bhramari. Each technique serves a different purpose: calming the nervous system, improving sleep, building focus, or accessing deeper states. Guided meditations include open awareness and body scan. In a world that never stops, Ma gives you space to slow down.

Breathe at your own pace. Arnasea helps you make breathing a simple, regular practice. Choose a technique that suits the moment or let a guided programme lead you from one session to the next. A few minutes, a soothing interface, nothing to count. PROGRAMMES TO BUILD YOUR ROUTINE 20 guided programmes, sorted by theme: • Calm: First breaths, Reset, Ease anxiety, Everyday stress, Calm under pressure, Find your calm • Sleep: Better sleep, Sleep, Back to sleep, Peaceful nights, Unwind in the evening • Energy: Gentle wake-up, Morning energy, Energy dip, Everyday energy, After exercise, Recovery • Focus: Clear mind, Deep focus, Work breaks Each programme offers one guided session a day, lasting about 1 to 10 minutes. Choose your time, turn on a reminder if you like and move forward at your own pace. You can follow several programmes at once. TECHNIQUES FOR EVERY MOMENT • Slow Down: from 12 to 6 breaths per minute, each breath a little longer than the last • Heart coherence • Reset: two inhales, then one long exhale • Box breathing • 4-7-8 • Nadi Shodhana, or alternate-nostril breathing • Tummo, in three levels • Custom cadences Depending on the technique, choose a short, normal or long session. The rhythm stays the same: only the number of cycles adapts to the time you have. LET YOURSELF BE GUIDED Depending on the technique, a glowing sphere or another visual guide follows each phase of your breath. The sphere expands as you inhale and contracts as you exhale. Prefer a line? The Curve display draws your breath on a scrolling line, just like in our videos. Turn on ambient music, breath sounds, the bell or vibrations if you like, then practise with your eyes closed. PROGRESS WITHOUT PRESSURE See your calendar, sessions, streak and total practice time.
