A common object of attention for Samatha (one-pointed concentration / tranquility) practice is a Mandala or Kasina.
The copy on the site and the mandala-like art the app generates leads me to believe the author hopes people can use the app for this (or a non-Buddhist equivalent concentration practice).
I just did a 10 minute session. It's excellent for this purpose!
- mkl 6y agoBut what does that have to do with introversion? Extroverts can focus or make mandalas.

- ilyayudanov 6y agoThank you for your comment, I’ll use this explanation myself. Many people asking about it, I didn’t mean psychological definition. I Just really hope it doesn’t sound offensive.
- wardnath 6y agoJust read the book "Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English" and he mentions the practice of Kasina. This app definitely made me think of that chapter. I think there's a lot to be explored in how technology can work with mindfulness & concentration practices.
