Stress impact.
Under the influence of stress, we often lose control of ourselves and the situations we are dealing with. 25% of people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. 40% of countries have no public mental health policies.

Norbu: Meditation Breathe Yoga app trains your stress-management skills.
🎓 It had been scientifically proven that stress negatively affects the immune system. Norbu proposes Mindfulness Based Stress Control (MBSC) technique. This method helps handle stress and strengthen immunity in a short and effective way and develop the skill of active stress management. The training methodology has been compiled and based on research in the PubMed scientific base.


The Gratitude Timer.

❗️ Evolutionarily, humans are better at remembering life-threatening negative events in order to avoid them in the future.
Pleasant events do not affect survival and therefore are not as well remembered.

🤯 Because of this evolutionary mechanism, humans may have the impression that life consists mostly of negative events.

😎 However, this can be corrected. Just start writing down all the good events during the day to see that life provides a lot of positive emotions.

🥰 The Gratitude Timer will help you look at your life in a new way.
Every time you hear the timer, think of any pleasant event. It could be a delicious morning coffee, you got a good night's sleep, or you met a friend.
Write down and thank yourself for that event.

Instant meditation is needed to bring you back to reality. To begin, set the Timer and answer these questions each time you hear the sound of a gong:
Awareness of place.
- Where are you now? Look at the walls, the furniture, look out the window. What's the weather like? What am I sitting on?
Awareness of body needs.
- Do I want to eat now? Do I want to move and stretch? Am I tired and I want to rest?
Awareness of thoughts.
- Am I now thinking about what I had originally planned?

This way of coming back to reality seems artificial at first, but over time you learn to better listen to your real needs and notice them at the right time. This will help you develop mindfulness, better sleep and happiness!

Ratings and reviews

This app is really awesome. Simple and very effective. I was REALLY surprised. It worked! I tried different apps before I should say, but this one is definitely one of the best. Nothing redundant, pleasant design. Just one thing to fix — I meditated 10 minutes and I found silent gaps between music replays a bit disturbing. Please fix it if you have time. And big thanks for the great job.

Really like using the app, BUT after using the "energy breathing" feature i needed a nap soon after, later on i seen an advert for headspace (on your app, ironically) that showed their sleep time breathing is the exact same method as your energy breathing (inhale, hold, exhale, hold), seems you made a mistake with that. Be good if you research more into energizing breathing methods (if any exist) as it would be very useful

I just downloaded it. It might be a good game but the English in this game is rather odd and I am not sure if I answered the questions accurately because I am not sure if I understood them as the writer intended. In the results page I had some trouble understanding the categories because I knew all the words I just was not sure what they meant in context. This stressed me out and made me feel axious so I am unsure weather this app will be good for me due to the strange wording.

Added recommendations for new practices based on the Life Balance test. We have added two new practices for sleeping based on binaural beats. Practicing a 30-minute recovery nap will put you into sleep and help you wake up smoothly so you don't feel groggy like you sometimes do after a nap. The second practice using binaural beats helps you fall into deep sleep. For these practices you will need stereo headphones.
