At Aura, we are on a mission to restore the world’s mental health and wellbeing. We are constantly expanding our mental wellness content library by inviting new coaches to our community - so that you can find peace anywhere, anytime.

We are thrilled to announce 4 new content verticals that have recently launched on Aura - prayer, breathwork, ASMR, and health coaching. 

Prayer

Prayer has been a part of human life for at least 5000 years and is still relevant to us today. It is the foundation of spirituality, and spirituality is an important pillar of mental wellbeing.  

Prayer provides hope, improves mood, and helps us cope with difficulties. Studies also suggest that prayer can help ease depression and anxiety, improve self-esteem, cope with addictions, and much more.

We offer Christian, Buddhist, as well as unaffiliated prayer. If you’re not religious but would like to explore prayer as a form of spirituality, unaffiliated prayer can be a great option for you.

Would you like to give it a try? Here are a few of our user favorites:

• "Christian Prayer for Trusting God" by Vanessa Michele
• "A Buddhist Prayer of Forgiveness” by Dorothy Zennuriye Juno
• "Morning Prayer for Peace and Wellbeing" Karen Vos 

Breathwork

Breathwork is a wide range of breathing exercises and techniques which involve intentionally changing how you breathe. Box breathing and alternate nostril breathing are some of the most popular ones.

Breathwork practice has a wide range of benefits. It can promote deep relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, process trauma, and more. You can even use it to feel more energized and improve your mood.

Try some of our favorites:

• "4-Square Box Breathing Exercise" by Kimber
• “Increase Energy, Increase Inhale” by Cass Carlopio
• Straw Breathing to Calm the Mind by Lisa Pollard

ASMR

ASMR exploded in popularity over the past decade because of its ability to promote relaxation and deep sleep. ASMR stands for “autonomous sensory meridian response.” It’s a tingling and calming sensory experience that you can experience by paying close attention to audio or visual stimuli.

Although ASMR often comes in video form, it can put people off. That’s why we offer audio-only, family-friendly tracks - Aura’s version of the ASMR experience.

We invite you to give it a go with our suggestions below:

• “Flying for Deep Sleep” by Laura Westcott
• ”Soothe (Water Droplets)” by David Hughes
• “ASMR Affirmations to Lift Your Vibration” by Anna 

Health coaching

Last but not least, we’re expanding beyond mental wellness to provide education on overall health and wellbeing. You can learn from our health coaches and expand your toolset on how to achieve your goals.

Our experts include nutrition, mindset, habits, goal setting, and weight management coaches. Check out a few of their offerings below (many of them also provide 1-1 coaching directly in Aura):

• “Starting Small with Healthy Habits” by Marisa Moon
• “Getting Healthy: The Big Picture” by Shelley Barker
• “Mindful Affirmation Healthy Food Choices” by Nitima Priya

We hope you find these new content categories helpful in finding peace every day. We have even more new categories in store, and we are excited to announce them to you soon.
