Metrics Report Card
These are metrics that are the ones meditation science expects are most relevant for your practice and level of expertise. Under each metric, we explain which way they are supposed to go and how they contribute to a deeper meditation. The arrow says which way the metric went, the color says whether it was the right direction. So if the metric was supposed to go down and it does go down the metric is green.
We are quite proud of the tips under each metric. We believe this is the first instance of brainwave based coaching advice for deeper mediations that is tuned to a person’s practice, level of expertise, and brainwaves. We literally have over 400 coaching tips for the report card.
The depth indicators on the right are based on Cohen’s d statistics for effect size:
- Deeper: Large effect size >=.8
- Deep: Medium effect size +.3 – .79
- Baseline: Small Effect size -.3 to +.3
- Shallow: Medium effect size or more in the wrong direction <-.3
Brainwave Analyzer
Tap on the Brainwave Analyzer button for a much deeper analysis of your brainwave metrics during your meditation. The Brainwave Analyzer is a deeply scientific experience. You may want to wait until after your meditation glow has worn off before putting your head back into an analytical frame of mind.
Journal
Because mediation is an internal skill, journaling is an important learning tool. We ask you three questions:
Question #1 “How did you feel about the session?” – is designed to remind you not to be hard on yourself. If your meditation practice is not giving you joy, something is wrong and your practice will not be sustainable.
Question #2 “What did the deepest moment of this session feel like?” – is designed to help you remember landmarks that will help you get back to deep states faster.
Question #3 “Anything you would like to remember from this session?” – is for you to remember any tips or tricks that you learned in the session that brought you deeper?
