About this app

ConZentrate: Om Meditation helps to improve the focus of the mind. Om Meditation app makes it a fun event by setting goals that you can achieve and at the same time allowing you improve your concentration.
The original name for this technique is called as Trataka in Sanskrit.

fixing of one's gaze, either externally or internally, on a point of attention. Together with this process,
a breathing exercise may have to be practiced to calm the disturbances in the mind.
