A simple way to meditate by breathing at an ideal pace with visual guidance
Goal
The fast paced world we live in today has proved the benefits of meditation in ways more than one. However, people often struggle to start this journey. How may we help people meditate?
Solution
Focusing on your breath is the most common method of meditation.To help hold the attention on your breath, we designed a lamp which visually guides you to inhale and exhale at an ideal pace.

The moment you are in touch with your breath, the universe pours into you
Our mind is a time machine. Always wandering in the past or the future. Through meditation one tries to keep it still, not by trying to stop it from wandering but by making it pay attention.
The idea is to make paying attention easier for beginners by creating an anchor which uses a moving light to guide their breathing.
