Breathful tracks the effectiveness of your meditation with data. Watch the numbers change as you develop your ability to focus and quantify your improvement over time. Rather than endorse a particular method for practicing mindfulness meditation, Breathful acknowledges that there is a common theme amongst all techniques: Focus on being mindful of your breathing - Breathful.------------------------------------------------------------Mindfulness 101The object of mindfulness is witnessing ones own present experience without any attachment or reactivity... In other words, any thoughts that arise during mindfulness practice are acknowledged - but then quickly allowed to pass. Directing one's attention to breathing will help the individual maintain a present state of mind.------------------------------------------------------------So what exactly is Breathful, and how is it different from other meditation timer apps?Breathful is a useful tool that allows users to engage in ten-minute sessions of mindfulness practice. The user gets to actively monitor each session by attaching a number of distractions as the session progresses. After the session ends, it is archived in the session log by date and time, along with the number of distractions encountered during the session.If the user sees their average number of distractions dropping, they will know that their method for practicing mindfulness is an effective one. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING BREATHFUL:- A new session is started by tapping on the timer circle, which will then start a ten minute countdown. - If at any point the user taps on the screen while the timer is running, then a "distraction" will be recorded.*Note: It is up to the user to decide what constitutes a "distraction" and you may not want to record minor distractions lasting only a split-second... but if you find that the distracting thought lingered for longer than it should have - go ahead and tap the screen, recording the distraction in Breathful's session log.Improve your focus with mindfulness training and let Breathful quantify your progress!
