Morning Practice
A guided morning meditation of 15 or 20 minutes — or stay as long as you like. Gentle audio guidance and a hand-on-heart grounding technique to begin the day rooted in stillness.
Practicing Presence A Christian Way
Pause. Breathe. Rest in God’s presence.
A simple companion for contemplative Christian practice — a guided morning meditation, then three conscious breaths and three questions to return you to presence through the hours of the day.

A simple rhythm for the day
The app follows the Practice of Presence taught in the book Choosing Presence: begin in stillness, return often, reflect gently.
Three Breaths (for presence)
Whenever unease or anxiety begins to build, take three conscious breaths with the intention of connecting with God’s spiritual energy. Practiced each hour from 8am to 8pm, it renews you throughout the day.
Three Questions (hourly renewal)
Three questions asked as you breathe — am I present now? how do I feel inside? do I have a sense of calm or peace within? — to gauge your spiritual progress and return to the power of the present moment.
Choosing Presence Videos
A library of Choosing Presence conversations built right into the app, including the conversation at Tamaya — for going deeper whenever you have the time.
Reminders on Your Schedule
Hourly invitations arrive between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm by default. Set whatever window fits your life, or turn reminders off entirely. The app adapts to your rhythm, not the other way around.

Rooted in Choosing Presence
Practicing Presence is the companion app to the Practice of Presence — a contemplative Christian path described in the book Choosing Presence: How to Access God’s Peace and Release Fear, Anxiety, and Stress by Jim Heaney.
To go deeper with the practice, we recommend reading the book and exploring the courses, videos, and retreats at Choosing Presence. All proceeds from the book go to charity.
