Slow down and play
Two calm games with no score and no timer. Draw in the mirror or tap the water while Neural Resonance Journey plays and the cat breathes with you.
Breathe inMusic: Neural Resonance Journey by OZO. In Ripple Pond, with headphones, each touch sound plays on the side you touch.
How to play
- Start with Mirror Silk, or switch to Ripple Pond.
- Follow the cat: breathe in for four seconds, hold for two, breathe out for six.
- In Mirror Silk, draw slowly. Whatever you draw on one side appears on the other, in silence, with only the music.
- In the pond, tap or drag on the water. Each ripple plays a soft note, and on each out-breath a ripple starts from the centre by itself.
Why repetition calms
A simple gesture repeated in time with your breath works a bit like a mantra: it gives your attention one easy thing to do, so busy thoughts have less room. There's nothing to win and nothing to get wrong.
Play for two minutes or for twenty. When you're done, try the bilateral music with headphones.
