About Nowvigation
It's not an app. It's a school.
Nowvigation is not just another meditation app that plays a soothing voice and asks you to breathe deeply.
It is a technology school for attention training, built on thirty years of hi-tech experience, a master's degree in education and teaching, and professional certification as a meditation teacher from the Wingate Institute.
Who Is Behind Nowvigation
My name is Doron.
Thirty years ago I discovered meditation. I felt it was changing my life, and then I left it. I told myself I didn't have the patience.
It took me twenty years to realize I was wrong.
I returned to practice about ten years ago. Since then I practice around two hours a day, sometimes even more. I trained as a meditation teacher at the Wingate Institute and have since taught many groups. I have thousands of hours of personal practice behind me.
In parallel, I built a thirty-year career in the hi-tech industry and earned a master's degree in education and teaching, graduating with honors.
Nowvigation is the connection of all of this.
Why a School and Not an App
A good school doesn't just deliver information, it teaches skill. And there is a huge difference between the two.
Nowvigation is built on proven pedagogical principles:
- Visual learning - video lessons that teach the technique and explain the principles.
- Auditory learning - audio files integrated into practice sessions that guide and accompany in real time.
- Kinesthetic learning - following the breath with thumb movement.
- Immediate feedback - one of the cornerstones of teaching. Learning and receiving feedback immediately. Nowvigation is the only app that knows in real time when your thoughts wander and brings you back right away.
The Philosophy - Training Wheels That Come Off Gradually
Most apps give their practitioners training wheels forever. They don't really teach you to ride, they serve as a vehicle for the journey.
Nowvigation does something completely different.
It teaches you what the training wheels are, the music, the voice guidance, the practice duration, and then works with you hand in hand to remove them gradually, each at your own pace.
You are not passive in the process. You are full partners in it.
You have a choice: how much guidance, how much music, how much time. A wide selection of different courses, each tailored to a different stage on the path to full independence.
And when you reach independence, it's not the end. You can extend your practice time, choose a training wheel that helps at the new stage, and continue to grow.
The Vision
People who practice meditation and turn it into a real life skill.
Not temporary relaxation. Not dependence on an external voice. A skill that goes with you everywhere in life, to moments when you're angry, to moments when you're desperate, and even to the night you can't fall asleep.
This is meditation. Without dependence.
