Meditation Application

Meditation means to close one's eyes quietly and to think deeply in a dictionary sense, and to explain as an act to escape the pain of the mind and return to the pure state of mind.

Meditation helps relax your mind through breathing and helps reduce stress by gaining insight into yourself and the world around you.

It is also known to have positive effects on learning, improving health, improving performance, treating drug addiction, psychological therapy, and self-discipline.

It is analyzed that the reason why meditation applications are popular is because of the convenience of having meditation time at home and the psychological treatment effect of gaining stability and being happy through meditation.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the population of meditation in the U.S. has tripled over the past five years as of 2019 and that the number of meditation applications released over the past three years is estimated to total 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.

According to Sensor Tower, a mobile market research company, representative meditation companies have Head Space, Calm, and Simple Habit, and their headquarters are all based in San Francisco, California, indicating that the U.S. is at the forefront of revitalizing meditation application global markets.

With the aim of calming the psychological problems faced by modern people including anxiety, stress, and insomnia, nature-friendly background screens such as sea, forest, and mountain sound received positive responses and topped the overall list of meditation applications as of June 2019.

ⓒ Simple Habit

A secret to the popularity of Simple Hubbit is that it can be operated in the form of a platform unlike its competitors, where one person supplies various contents, so that meditation instructors can participate in it directly. They can provide and operate sessions, generate additional revenue, and customers can experience the delicate and unique sessions offered by meditation experts.
