Did you know your device can detect your heart rate? No accessories required!

It is thought that Buddha once said, “If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.” Zen Trainer is designed to improve your meditation skills by using your own heart beat to call you back to the present. Simply place your finger on the rear camera lens of your device, set a target heart rate youd like to achieve, select a background sound, set a timer, and enter into meditation. If youre unsure of what your target should be, use Current BPM mode to determine your current heart rate, then switch to Meditation mode and set your Target BPM slightly lower. Zen Trainer goes beyond the traditional guided meditation; self-guided meditation allows you to take control.

During meditation you will hear the sound of your pulse when you are above your target heart rate. When you reach your target, the pulse sound will cease and you enter the Zen Zone. If you become distracted, it is likely you will rise back above your target. If this occurs you will once again hear the pulse, and so on. The aim of this application is to train yourself to stay in the Zen Zone for as long as possible. Do not be disheartened when this happens; even the most practised minds wander. Each time you return to the Zen Zone, your meditation muscle strengthens. Once your meditation is complete, you can view your results including Highest BPM, Lowest BPM, Time in Zen Zone. Save your results and add notes for future reference and training. You also have the option to share your results on Facebook! Use of earphones is recommended for an optimized audio experience.
