App Description
Mindfulness Coach was designed to help Veterans, Servicemembers and others learn how to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness means paying attention, on purpose, to whatever is going on in the present moment without passing judgment on it.
Features:
- Nine guided exercises to practice the core concepts of mindfulness
- Education to help the user understand the benefits of mindfulness
