Why this works
Even a single meditation session reduced physiological indices of anger in both experienced and novice meditators. — Fennell et al., 2016, Consciousness and Cognition
Each session follows the ISO Principle — meeting you where you are emotionally before guiding toward calm (de Witte et al., 2020), with narration that progressively slows in pitch and pace to reduce muscle tension (Bernstein & Borkovec, 2006).
