Getting started
2. Set your reminder window
On first launch, choose a start and end time. The app defaults to 8:00 am – 8:00 pm, the window the practice is built around: leaving too long between breaths makes it harder to settle into stillness.
3. Begin with the Morning Practice
Choose 15 or 20 minutes, or stay as long as you like. Rest a hand on your heart, follow the gentle audio guidance, and begin the day in stillness.
4. Renew each hour
When an invitation arrives, take three conscious breaths — and as you breathe, ask the three questions: am I present now? how do I feel inside? do I have a sense of calm or peace within? This is hourly renewal, not an end-of-day review.
5. Go deeper when you have time
The app carries a library of Choosing Presence conversation films, a link to the book, and the Awakening to Presence course — all from the Information screen.
