Choosing calmer or steadier as your intention leads Wyphi toward a protocol built around relaxation and body awareness, paired with a breathing rhythm meant to slow and steady your pace of breathing — a coherent rhythm or an extended exhale are both common choices here.
Yes — naming the specific source of stress, like an argument, a deadline, or a general sense of overwhelm, lets Wyphi weight the session toward what's really going on.
There's a real difference between generic calm-down audio and a session shaped by "I just had a difficult conversation with my manager." Wyphi uses that detail alongside your chosen feeling when it interprets your intention and selects a protocol.
A warmer, slower narration voice paired with a soundscape like Ocean Waves or Forest Night is a common combination for stress-focused sessions, though it's entirely your choice. Some people prefer a more neutral voice and a plainer backdrop like Flowing Stream — Wyphi builds around whatever you pick.
Slow paced breathing and relaxation techniques have a solid base of research behind them as general wellness tools, and that's the foundation these sessions rest on. Still, a Wyphi session is not a treatment for anxiety or any diagnosed condition, and Wyphi is not medical care — for ongoing or severe anxiety, a licensed professional is the right resource. See the evidence overview for how these techniques compare with the more experimental parts of Wyphi.
Because a session builds in the time it takes to describe what's happening, it's practical to reach for right before or right after a stressful stretch, not just as a planned daily routine. Your first session is free and complete, so there's nothing to commit to first.
