First: this app isn’t a game. The levels are helping you find the pace of your movements. First, you start by holding the phone and looking at it. Then, you progress to holding the phone and not looking at it. Then you work up to slipping the phone in your pocket and swaying by audio feedback only. Gaining a level isn’t a reward; losing a level isn’t punishment. This is about teaching and training about finding the sway speed. Levels are really irrelevant. Second: audio feedback is key. It will provide you with gentle reminders when you’re moving too quickly or too slowly. It’s normal to hear this feedback when you slip your phone into your pocket. It also happens if I try a new movement and I have to move to keep my balance. I’ll get a “you’re going to fast” maybe once or twice in a 20-minute sway session. It’s not a punishment if this happens, it’s just feedback. Last: sway as long as time permits. Some days, I have 10 minutes to sway. If I lose a level, it doesn’t matter. Even at level 1, I can sway with my phone in my pocket for 15 minutes the next day. The levels only matter for beginners, not those who have the sway speed down.

Unfortunately, I love almost everything about this app and would be thrilled to use it as part of my meditation. The idea of focusing and calming through movement is quite appealing to me. But. It requires that you start with a couple of minutes, and then do it daily to “unlock levels” of longer meditation. If you miss a day, you’re knocked back down in time and have no control over this. First, I’m not playing a video game and don’t want to unlock levels. Second, and more importantly, I like to use a variety of meditation tools and styles and don’t want to commit to one app or practice every time. The fact that I can’t choose my own duration of meditation session is an absolute deal breaker for me. This is a useless tool for me that would be highly useful if I were able to make my own decisions about the length of my session.
