VaYou

time for You

balancing breath, body and mind

VaYou is the world's first dynamic sound biofeedback system for your smartphone.

It helps you to a clear mind, relax deeply and sleep better.

Phone
VaYou mirrors your breathing with sound. Every inhale and exhale creates a sound flow reflecting You and your current state of being.
You can use it to be more aware of your breathing, breathe deeper or follow a breath pattern, but You don’t have to.
Simply listening to your breathing sound flow will help You to get your mind clear and relax profoundly in an incomparable way.

 

Bio feedback

Unlike other biofeedback devices VaYou provides a very direct and customizable response – without the need to intellectually “understand” it. You  just listen to Your sound flow – all else develops.

Dynamic

Evidence shows that your breathing is deeply linked to your well-being. VaYou dynamically creates a sound flow which exactly represents your breathing in order to unfold its profound effect.

Sound

For thousands of years sounds have been used for their beneficial effects on mind and body. VaYou takes the old wisdom into account. You can even choose a breath pattern and VaYou creates a sounding PACE for you – no need to look at the screen anymore.

Flow

The immediate and very smooth sound feedback allows You to just “be with the flow” and enjoy a very balancing experience without the need to do anything specific. Breath plus sound has sort of a magical effect.

VaYou is available in the iOS App Store now!
All you need is an iPhone (or iPod), good headphones and the app.

How it works

  • (1) Put on good headphones.

  • (2) Select one of the VaYou~Flows that fits your purpose right now. The effects range from deeply relaxing to invigorating.

  • (3) Select the duration you want to enjoy VaYou. Reserve 4 to 16 minutes, or even more.

  • (4) For a healthy and undistracted VaYou-experience switch to airplane-mode: all data-transfer and radio-waves are turned off. No calls. (Re-enable Bluetooth when using wireless headphones like Apple AirPods.)

  • (5) Press START and put the iPhone/iPod touch on your lower belly beneath your navel. Slide it halfway inside the belt line of your pants for best results.

  • (6) Get really comfortable! Choose a posture where you can relax every muscle! You can either lie flat or reclined …

  • (7) … or sit reclined or upright. Sitting in a train or airplane is also fine with VaYou’s Pacing-mode!

  • (8) The VaYou-algorithms detect your belly-breathing and in most cases even your pulse-rate can be registered from your belly. This sophisticated realtime-process works better when the iPhone is softly held in place at the belt line.

  • (9) Now just let it happen. Let your breath flow and listen. You may experience something new ~ You.

  • (10) The most important VaYou benefit is your experience from moment to moment! So no need for you to consider the numbers VaYou uses for its algorithms. Feel free to take a look after your flow~breathing.

  • (11) VaYou daily and effortless personal development will follow.

The VaYou Flows

The VaYou app contains a number of breath – algorithm – sound – combinations which are called Flows. These Flows are somewhat different in character and in their effect on your mind-body. Some of the Flows will relax you, others will lead to a more focused, attentive mental state. Just by listening and feeling, the beneficial VaYou-effects develop by themselves.

Hit the play-button to hear 14 breathcycles with VaYou. It is an example sequence of some of VaYou’s Sound Flows. Within the app you will select the Flow that gives you the best experience.

Since I can get into my dream and relaxation worlds with VaYou so easily, I’m currently almost addicted to it …

Karina Schober Portrait talks about biofeedback app VaYou

I am absolutely thrilled and a total fan of the VaYou app. I use them almost every day before going to sleep, as I can relax very deeply with the Flows and then sleep better and much deeper. In the meantime, I also like to use it during the day, especially when I feel tense or stressed or when I have a headache. And sometimes just because I enjoy it and it does so well. After the Flows I always feel better, more rested and completely relaxed. I feel like I’m coming back to the ground and things that annoyed me often lose their importance.

Physically, I feel a very intense sense of well-being by slowing and intensifying breathing. It often makes me really enjoy breathing, sometimes even slower than on the previous session. This is a bit of a challenge with myself, but it does incredibly well. So no power pressure, but an attempt to get even deeper into relaxation and meditation. *)

Currently Long River is my favorite program, because I sink deep into the picture lying on a beach, the sparkling night sky above me and everything is good and nothing is important, I just hear the waves and enjoy the water being washed around with my breath-flow.This is fantastic!

*) A footnote from the VaYou-team:  The more we see users breathing with VaYou the more we are inspired by the abundance of different personal approaches and purposes. The one thing that cannot be emphasized enough – with VaYou there is no right or wrong goal to achieve. You breathe and sound as it feels good for you right in this moment. That’s all it takes to unfold the beneficial effects. And that’s by the way the main reason why this invention is named VaYou.

Meditation or nevertheless therapy?

There is nothing to achieve, and to reach, nevertheless, everything!

After prolonged, regular use and finding your own rhythm – you have to follow the breath, not dictate it – I dive deep into my own self each time, calm my feelings and even could positively treat my heart rhythm disorders.

VaYou is a great support for the sustainable improvement of my psychic and physical condition. Thank you very much!

Discovery of the inner center!

Freely swinging breathing, by gliding releasing, spherical, hypnotic, gliding, floating,
Hovering, light-hearted, awake-dreaming, balanced thinking,
Gentle breathing, deep breathing, liberating breathing, breathing things away, resting in me,
Travelling with eyes closed,
Promoting positive vibrations,
Addiction relief, spiritual satisfaction …

That’s how I feel about VaYou and I am very happy with it !!!
