Want better instructions

As much as this has been helping me as I seem to be able to be "calm" for a high percentage of time, I've had trouble really understanding what makes the noise get louder. The waves or other sounds don't necessarily match up with my mind or breathing shifting. So my frustration is really due to the fact that I don't know what is what most of the time. I just keep counting my breaths and sometimes it is more quiet than other times but I don't necessarily feel more calm in those more quiet times I don't think. It would have been nice to have instructions that told you that if your breathing was a certain way then the sound would be less or at least have some instructions and guidance - there is literally nothing!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Yes, you see a lot of reviews said there is no way you can know how the device determine your concentration of meditating level. Same here. I have tried to count my breathing or even hold my breath and think nothing. Nope, all I heard was the wave sound... Something is not in the right direction here.
I am a doctoral student working full time, so turning my brain off even with my daily meditation practice has been hard. I bought this tool hoping that it would help me introduce more calm into my practice that would extend to "off my mat" times as well. It has. While I have only used it for a brief amount of time, I find I have more space in my thinking and responses than I did before. Thank you!
Although I attempt to meditate daily, I am now more apt to actually do it. This device really encourages me to do it and take it seriously! It's the only device I have ever heard of that helps determine the efficacy of meditations.
I love my MUSE. At first I wasn't sure how it would work or help me with my meditation practice, but after a few days I realized that it was helping, and making my meditations more focused. I can't wait to see how it continues to help going forward..
Muse has great sensitivity to my inner state. It can tell when my mind wanders during meditation and informs me so. Helps improve my focus during meditation.
