Meditation Rx 1.4

Experience relief from the stress of serious illness with the Meditation Rx app. This app offers guided meditations specifically designed to meet your needs, whether you are ill or supporting a loved one through an illness. It helps you navigate the challenges of being ill, being in a medical setting, undergoing difficult procedures, and receiving bad news.

No prior meditation experience is required to benefit from this app. It includes a Learn to Meditate section for beginners. In addition to the targeted meditations for illness and caregiving, you will also receive general meditations that can be useful in various aspects of your life.

You have the flexibility to listen to the voice guidance with or without music or nature sounds in the background. There is also an option to listen to music and nature sounds alone.

The Meditation Rx app features content created by the renowned creators of the Meditation Oasis® apps and podcast in collaboration with David Ezon, MD.
