Calm believes a philosophy that “mental fitness is equally important”. Brain muscle requires regularly flexed/stimulated to build strength and resilience over time. The soothing interface with relaxing background music will guide through the entire online meditation journey.
Once you download the app and you will be greeted by a relaxing blue welcome screen that reminds you to "take a deep breath." Clear icon options are listed at the bottom, directing user to different sections like "Meditate," "Sleep," and "Music". From the colour scheme and the curved edges of the font, the aesthetic is designed to be calming as the name of the app suggested.
Not to mention the incredible breadth of meditations available. User will be spoiled for choice and will never have to do the same session twice. Furthermore, the app recommendation is so dynamic and has kept changing as the user progress along the meditation journey. To get the full benefit, Calm emphasis the importance on the daily practice of meditation. Instead of one-off meditations, a series of meditations on a particular topic are collated like a course. For instance, "Mindful Walking" consists of sessions from 5 minutes to half an hour. You can choose whichever one helps you to wind down most effectively of all.
To keep meditation as a habit, it is highly recommended to give the premium version a try where variety of expert-led options are all packaged up nicely in one place for you to click on.
