How to start

  1. 1Hold your gaze on Play under a setting for 2 seconds.
  2. 2Choose relaxation with muscle tensing (PMR) or relaxation only (PR).
  3. 3Sit back and follow the voice.

What you need

  • A comfortable chair, or a bed with your head raised
  • No controllers needed
  • About 15 minutes without interruptions

Two ways to relax

Both follow the same calm script. The only difference is whether you tense your muscles.

Choose a session type

Settings: Space, Villa, or River.

On your own
  • PMR, with muscle tensing

    Gently tense each muscle group, then let it go. About 16 minutes, or 11 if you skip the intro. If you have high blood pressure, or are recovering from surgery or an injury, choose relaxation only unless your doctor or therapist says otherwise.

  • PR, relaxation only

    Relax each muscle group without tensing. About 14 minutes, or 10 if you skip the intro. A good choice for your first session.

Stop if

  • Tensing a muscle causes pain or cramping
  • You feel dizzy or uncomfortable

Switch to relaxation only, or take off the headset and rest.
