Let the Storm Pass

What is Let the Storm Pass?

Choose how you feel inside: a little tense, stressed or overwhelmed. Then breathe with the circle as the storm slowly passes. It is one of 23 small, calm places in Pocket Meadow, a relaxation app for iPhone and iPad.

What it looks and feels like

Dark clouds hang low, rain falls and the occasional flash of lightning lights up the sky, matching how stormy you said it felt inside. A calm circle grows and shrinks for you to breathe with. With every breath, the rain gets lighter, the thunder fades and the clouds thin, until a quiet, clear sky is left.

Why it can help you slow down

Strong feelings can feel like a storm. Let the Storm Pass uses that picture: you name how stormy it feels, then breathe slowly while the rain and thunder calm down.

A breathing circle guides your pace, so you do not have to count. The sky clears as you go, giving you a gentle sense that the feeling is passing.

How to use Let the Storm Pass

3. Breathe with the circle: in as it grows, out as it shrinks.

Tips for a calmer moment
