What is it?
Stop, Breathe & Think is a highly rated, FREE guided meditation app. Mindful meditation has been found to be a beneficial intervention with patients struggling with sensitized nervous systems and/ or stress. It allows patients to gain greater breathing awareness. Beginning by first checking in with how your are thinking and feeling at the time, the app recommends different meditation recordings of varying lengths based on your emotions. If you’d rather skip the review of your thoughts and feelings, you can also bypass this step and select a meditation recording from a list.
