Meditation has so many benefits but few get a chance to actually practice it.
Oak is a beautifully designed app for guided meditation that helps you slow down, disconnect from stressful situations and improve well being. The idea is to train your brain to be less frantic so that you’re more productive and healthy. The ‘guided’ part is important because without it, the unpracticed mind will most definitely wander. It forces you to use controlled breathing, voices and calming sounds as anchors; to keep your thoughts from wandering. Begin anywhere, at any time of the day.
There are no ads and you don’t need to create an account. The app keeps track of your progress, logging the total number of minutes/sessions of mediation and breathing. You can set the app to remind you to meditate and link it with Apple Health, which will log your meditation as ‘mindful minutes’.

Why Oak? You start the app with a little Oak sapling — the more you meditate, the more it grows. Grow that little sapling into a massive tree — your body and mind will thank you for it!
