An amazing experience all round

All I can say is wow. I have purchased a lot of games and apps, especially relaxation and meditation apps, over the years. But this is by far the best ever. It is not only something you can visit for a little down time, it's also an 8 week course, which is just excellent. As I near the end of the MCBT course, I have to say my work stress, which was incredibly severe to the point of almost quitting my stressful job, is SO much better. It has taught me how to cope with the constant negative thoughts. I am not perfect yet, it will take more work, but it has taught me several strategies to improve my coping mechanisms and make life that much less painful at a toxic workplace. I honestly feel this app will help thousands of people with anxiety, stress and burnout. It is stunning to be inside, and I love my fish too (you'll have to visit the app to find out what I mean by that!) Brilliant course built by serious professionals who seem to genuinely want to help people improve their lives. Much needed, in the world we currently live in. Highly recommended to everyone. My favourite app on Meta. Thank you!

Profoundly helpful

I have to admit - I was sceptical at first - but this programme has personally helped me and my mental health enormously. It relaxes my tendency to overthink and over-conclude, while it also creates an intriguing and relaxing environment that I want to return to. I’m really glad I completed the eight week course and I still use the mindfulness skills I learned every day through meditation practice. I cannot wait to see how the programme further develops.

I like it!

I'm only half an hour in, but it's already clear how well-structured and thoughtfully designed this is. I really enjoyed the sleep meditation — I was so calm I actually fell asleep with my headset still on! The breathing ball is especially useful; my thoughts really slowed as I focused on it and synced my breathing to its rhythm. I'm genuinely looking forward to tomorrow's session.

Absolutely Brilliant

The instructor and the environments are both solid. There are a lot of interesting ideas and a lot of creativity and thought went into this. Would love even more sessions and I hope the creators of this app continue adding content.

Transformative

I hadn’t tried a course like this before but I was under a huge amount of work pressure and one of my colleagues recommended it. I used a metaquest 2 and 3 and completed 1 to 2 sessions each day. Each lasts approximately 13-22 minutes. When I completed the 8 week course, I went back to the beginning and repeated it. The course was transformative. After a week or so I could interrupt my reflex thought/association of “bad news = disaster” and use the breathing techniques to calm down and clear my head. Over the 8 weeks the course teaches you about meditation, assessing your body and breaking negative automatic thought processes. I suspect that my mental health would not have survived without the course and I really recommend it to you, especially as you can buy the complete course for so little right now. If you are having difficulties with work pressure and immediate negative thoughts when problems arise, I strongly recommend the course for you. I hope it gives you as much benefit as I gained.
