Overview
The Inner Balance app allows you to integrate your own music into your coherence training. Using music that you find calming or uplifting can make it easier to enter a state of High Coherence. Additionally, many users use the length of a specific song as a guide for their total practice time.
Step-by-Step Instructions

Managing Coherence Tones vs. Music
The app features “Sound Effects” (coherence tones) that chime to let you know your coherence level. You can choose how these interact with your music:
-
To hear both: Ensure the Sound Effects Volume is turned up.
-
To hear music only: Set the Sound Effects Volume to Off.
-
Quick Mute: You can also toggle the Soundtrack on or off instantly by tapping the Speaker Icon on the main session screen.
Special Features
-
My Inspiration: Your selected soundtrack will continue to play even if you use the My Inspiration video feature during your session.
-
Session Timing: Because the music stops when the file ends, it provides a gentle, non-intrusive way to know when you have completed your intended practice time.
