Enjoy the deep relaxation, stress relief and benefits of meditation with the Meditation Oasis(R) Relax & Rest app.

Chosen for "Best Sleep Apps of 2014" and "Best Anxiety Apps of 2014" by healthline.com.

**Now with new high quality nature sounds from Emmy Award-winning nature recordist Gordon Hempton.**

Three meditations of varying lengths allow you to relax deeply regardless of how much time you have available. Written Meditation Tips help support your experience with the guided meditations. No previous meditation experience is required.

-- Breath Awareness Guided Meditation (5 min) - to get centered and relaxed when you only have time for a short break.
-- Deep Rest Guided Meditation (13 min) - allows you to sink into a deeply restful state. Many people use this meditation for falling asleep.
-- Whole Body Guided Relaxation (24 min) - Relax totally and completely with this meditation which helps you locate tension in every part of the body, and let it go.

Each meditation can be listened to with or without music or nature sounds, and you can choose how long to listen to the music or nature sounds after the guided meditation finishes. Separate volume controls not only allow you to adjust the mix of voice and sounds to suit your preference, but give you the added option of listening to the music or nature sounds alone.
