"A Must Have! I have suffered with very bad anxiety for years and this app has been a wonderful help." --rallylou, app user

The Meditation Oasis® At Ease app has a unique approach to relieving anxiety and worry by combining voice-guided breathing meditations, mental exercises and journaling. At Ease is intended to make deep and lasting change rather than applying a temporary “band aid”. Most people will experience immediate relief using the guided breathing meditations, but the long term benefit of At Ease will come from using the app regularly over time.

"I was extremely impatient and nervous and my breath became short and quick. I used the “breath aware” guided meditation on the At Ease App and felt an almost immediate relief of my nervousness. Many thanks for designing this application with wonderful guided meditations and sweet instrumental music." --Eleanor

GUIDED BREATHING MEDITATIONS

The meditations are the core of the At Ease program. When we are anxious, our breathing becomes shallow and constricted. You will learn to deal with anxiety by breathing in an easy, natural way that makes you feel more relaxed. In addition, the meditations will also train you to let go of worry and find the pleasure in breathing.

At Ease contains three easy, effective breathing meditations:

-- Deep Breathing Guided Meditation
-- Breath Awareness Guided Meditation
-- Belly Breathing Guided Meditation

MUSIC: You can listen to the meditations with or without music, and adjust the volume of the voice and music independently. There are three different selections of music to choose from.

JOURNALING & EXERCISES

The At Ease journaling process is designed to increase self-awareness -- the foundation of all meaningful change. It will also help you develop some important strategies for dealing with anxiety. You will be given exercises to do during the day, and questions to write about as you reflect on your experiences with the exercises.
