Silent Island Relaxation is a collection of nature sounds collected and put into this application to help relax you. From ocean waves to chopping a log for firewood, this application is sure to calm you down.
There are a few of these application in the App Store, and I think they are great for meditation assistance. Using this application to help drown out the other background noises increases the effectiveness of meditation(by allowing you to concentrate more/easier).
When I go to Florida, I love to sit out on the balcony and just fall asleep while listening to the waves crash again and again. With Silent Island Relaxation I can now do this every night. I don’t think it’s loud enough with the speakers in the iPhone. . .and I couldn’t fall asleep with headphones, but I do have a dock, and using that makes it easy to listen and fall asleep.
There are over a dozen different sounds(20 I believe) ranging from ocean waves, seagulls, island stream, at the beach, wood chopping, walking the beach, thunderstorms, shells, sea storm, birds, blizzard, wind, rain, waterfall, campfire, at night, underwater and more.
The application comes with a timer setting(to the right of the sound) so you can pick the sound effect and then set a timer(like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 minutes, etc). This way you don’t wake up in the middle of the night to it. . .or even in the morning(before you’re supposed to wake up).
It also has a day/night setting(the top right icon) that lets you change the image to a day or night time setting. This doesn’t do anything to the sounds, but if you like to stare at the screen, now you can interact with it.
This app is indeed very relaxing and calming. No other app puts me to sleep so fast and the music is really high quality.
