Background

Mindfulness or conscious presence can be described as a state where we have our attention and our consciousness directed precisely in the situation we are in at the moment. It's an approach to life. Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh writes that we can learn to perceive the peace that exists around us and within us through meditation training. "It is not a matter of faith but of practice."

You should not listen to the exercises while driving or when you need to be alert.

The app Mindfulness was developed by Specialist physiotherapist Helena Löwen-Åberg together with Develant Technologies AB. Helena runs her own clinic in Gothenburg and has extensive experience of clinical work with patients who have stress-related problems, tinnitus, anxiety, long-term pain, dizziness and difficulty sleeping.

In addition to the Mindfulness app, there is also the Tinnitus Help app as a special help for you with Tinnitus problems.
