Inward

Inward isn't really a game that you play in one sitting... it's something you do over the course of days... months... it is an exercise into the self to maintain a healthy mental state. In a world of chaos and aggression ranging from religious and political beliefs to more mundane things like Trans, LGBTQ+, etc even to the field of health itself be it of the mind, the body, or the soul. we must take time to let all that be washed away and breath... meditate to keep ourselves from being pulled into the depths of the dark stormy ocean that can be our mindscape at times of great stress. I've only started using Inward as a means to set aside time to focus my mind to clear it and calm myself from the chaotic stress that surrounds me on a daily basis. I'm also aiming to utilize it as a means of focusing myself more towards my creative writing and art so that I can improve on both.

Great meditation 'tool', I use this before PLAYNE. I do wish the actual meditation session would use your expanding island rather than a black screen with the growing & shrinking bubble similar to PLAYNE however. One gripe I have which is more of a bug issue; the guided meditation volume does not actually change the audio played during the session and enabling the mute for it also does not actually apply (If that's what the Chat Bubble icon is) and I've found myself just muting the program all together through Windows as I don't want to hear "Lets take a moment to.. breathe, follow the bubble on the screen or close your eyes and keep your mind on your breath." for the umpteenth time - I'll just play some New Age/Meditation music in the background instead. All in all a great program to run at least 5 minutes a day to get your breath back in focus; especially when used in tandum with PLAYNE's box breathing.

I've been looking for a hobby for myself, something I could use to develop a healthier life routine and also a place to relax and release my thoughts. I'm also hoping to build a habit of meditation, and Inward/Playne definitely look very promising to help me achieving that goal, except that now I wonder when I'm out of town and don't have access to a computer, how could I keep up with the record before any of them come to the mobile. :) Also I've been practicing non-violent communication, and knowing that it is a bit different on the form with meditation, I believe the core is the same. I'm really hoping to find(or one day to create) a game to remind myself of collecting celebrations and blessing every moment, focusing on observations rather than judgement, allowing and accepting the feelings and needs, from internal and external.

Хорошая игра. Годится для снятия стресса. Возле костра сидит белая северная лисичка, правда худая, намекая на то, что все хорошо! Лично мне подняло настроение.

This game is exactly what it says, and provides good sounds to listen to while meditating or sleeping. I will recommend it if you are looking for help in sleeping as meditating into sleep can be helpful to have a peaceful sleep. And well it does provide positive reinforcement for meditating each day, even as little as 10 minutes so its nice to have.
