music3 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music aspect of this meditation app is notably minimalist, focusing on silence rather than traditional soothing sounds or celebrity voiceovers. This design choice emphasizes a more authentic meditation experience, prioritizing technique and mindfulness over commercialized relaxation, which some users find refreshing despite the lack of typical meditative flair.
“This app gives you a chance to actually emulate the monk on a mountaintop by preparing and then dropping you into mostly silent meditations. This VR experience has given me the funny realization that most meditation apps convince consumers to pay a monthly subscription to hear soothing voices while relaxing on a couch, not to actually help you learn how to meditate and improve over time.”
“Instead of selecting a music track with voiceover and meditation environment, it's structured like actual classes with a repeated order for each: technique, meditation, a talk on meditation/mindfulness concepts, and additionally sometimes a Q&A where the virtual students around you will ask questions that you might have wanted to ask yourself if it was in real life.”
“This app gives you a chance to actually emulate the monk on a mountaintop by preparing and then dropping you into mostly silent meditations. Yep, no pizazz of a celebrity voice saying tropes about spirituality while some spa music plays in the background.

“This certainly doesn't have the flair of a guided meditation with a celebrity doing the voiceover and spa music playing in the background, but I think that is pretty clearly designed to sell people on the idea of meditation, as opposed to actually getting newbies or skeptics to get anywhere beyond some placebo calmness.”
