11 things about Prisma

1. Prisma visually cues the breath in the top line of the application - the “Breath Rate Meter.” Seeing the breath contributes to awareness.

2. The number of breaths per minute can be adjusted by tapping on the icon for the Breath Rate Meter and then sliding the bar.

3. Background sounds reinforces the timing of the breath and meditative quality of the Prisma experience – again, focusing the mind inward and away from daily distractions.

4. The experience of moving beads across the screen while slowing and controlling the breath provides a meditative moment, a bit of calm during a hectic day.

5. By providing a visual cue to simulate the breath, the Breath Rate Meter enhances awareness, providing a useful guide to slow the rate of breath and deepen the breath.

6. The default setting for the Breath Rate Meter is set at 12 breaths per minute, the average respiratory rates for an adult.

7. Consider asking your doctor or trainer about setting goals using the Breath Rate Meter.

8. The Breath Rate Meter (BRM) is a colored bar at the top of the screen that simulates the breath.

9. I.Beads – The Prisma application provides a meditative experience using the universal imagery of beads.

10. Prisma provides a meditative tool that is portable and unobtrusive – useful on a crowded bus, at work during a five or ten minute break, or waiting in line.

11. II.Breath – The process of slowing and controlling the breath is a cornerstone of stress management and meditative practice.
