New app buddhify2 incorporates Buddhist practices with modern technology You're not alone. But did you know there's a whole movement of people out there looking to introduce the practices of Buddhism into the way we interact with modern technology? One such advocate of this lifetstyle is Rohan Gunatillake. Gunatillake is the creator of a brand new app called buddhify2 - a product allowing the user access to Buddhist practices and meditation tips on the go. A brainy but incredibly modest chap, Gunatillake writes a very short bio on his webpage with the words "blah blah look-at-me blah." Allow us to expand on this somewhat brief life history. The Glasgow-based app developer launched the original low budget buddhify app based on the concept 'mindfulness meditation for wherever you are'. We will benefit from a new wave of digital tools that not only reduce stress but lead to genuine insight, wisdom and compassion. And not an incense stick in sight. So what is buddhify2? We thought we'd better let the man himself tell you. Ultimately the app helps people to achieve calm and meditation while monitoring their progress - even when they're on the go. buddhify2 is "bigger, better and beautiful-er than ever before," says Gunatillake. Features of the new product include: 40 custom-made guided meditation audio exercises up to 20 minutes long Meditations for when online, travelling, waking up or taking a work break Timer for self-guided meditation Beautiful calming interface Detailed graphs and statistics providing feedback of usage and progress Tips and tricks for optimising your meditation practice Suitable for all experience levels and especially beginners As a result of his incredible endeavours, the entrepreneur was recently named in Wired magazine's 50 people who will change the world. Gunatillake isn't the only one trying to get his calm on via iPhone. Buddhist Geeks, for instance, is an entire organisation of people striving to promote a fresh perspective for tech-savvy Buddhists. Interested in the new product? buddhify2 is available to download from January 6 on iPhone and iPad here. Here's a brief user guide. Prior to the launch of his app Gunatillake said: "I want people to understand mindfulness and meditation as something we all have access to, anywhere and any time - even when online." Many people think our time spent online can be pretty mindless, but buddhify2 shows that it doesn't have to be like that. Mindfulness is about being very active, very aware of what is happening in the moment. Buddhify2 is designed to help us take notice of the world around us, making us more aware and productive at work or online, more centred at home, and, ultimately increasing our wellbeing.
