Before you start

We recommend reading these guides first:

Guided Breathing

xHeal guides each breathing phase with animation, timing, haptic transitions, and optional ambient sound.

Starting a Session

Open Mindfulness, choose one of the available patterns and duration options, select an ambient sound if desired, and start.

During the Session

Follow the on-screen inhale, hold, exhale, and rest phases. Stop if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable.

Completion

The session is saved to xHeal activity history and can be written to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes when permission is enabled.

Current scope: Custom patterns, arbitrary 1-20 minute duration selection, pause and resume, and live HRV biofeedback are not currently available.
