The Moksha meditation tool aims to eliminate traditional breathing exercises.
Most breathing aids on the market are designed to do this, Moksha It aims to help you practice breathing longer and deeper, which is studies I have shown It naturally calms you down, relaxes your muscles, slows your heart rate, and stabilizes your blood pressure.
Smart Breathing Device – Now Available on Company Website Website After launching on Kickstarter Last year, after more than 400 pre-orders, the company introduced a sleek metal necklace with a mouthpiece that you can inhale and exhale through. The idea behind the fun meditation tool, as the company calls it, is that by inhaling and exhaling through a small cylindrical structure, you can better control and slow down your breathing.
Yash Ghanekar and his co-founder Jaimeen Shah came up with the idea for Moksha after dealing with some personal issues that affected their mood and well-being. “My best friend passed away, and that really took my anxiety to new levels,” Ghanekar told me. “I’ve always dealt with general anxiety and stress from school and social situations, but this took it to a whole new level, where I was having panic attacks night after night.”
Shah’s brother, a physician, told them about the benefits of breathing, inspiring them to collaborate with R&D experts, data scientists, mechanical engineers and designers to build their groundbreaking device. beam$43 necklace with metal pendant attached. It also comes with Free standalone application.
“The feedback has been amazing. We’ve had all sorts of people reach out to us, saying this tool has saved their lives. People have been coming to us with all sorts of lung conditions, PTSD, anxiety, and saying this breathing tool has really helped them,” said Ghanekar.
After the success of its first device and app, the company decided to launch a smart tool that combines the two products.
The most unique feature of the Gamified meditation tool is that it features air pressure sensors and haptic feedback technology to help beginners learn how to breathe and meditate properly. After inhaling for 2 to 8 seconds (depending on the type of meditation exercise) and Then exhale for 5.5 seconds.The device vibrates as a signal to start inhaling again, eliminating the need to count in your head and helping you stay focused. This is indicated by a slight buzzing sensation on your fingertips. When connected via Bluetooth, it can also track your breathing data.
Moksha designed its device to resemble an e-cigarette. The company hopes this will help steer smokers away from unhealthy habits. “Our idea is to take everything away from this oral attachment to e-cigarettes and vape pens and steer it more toward mental health,” Ghanekar said.
Moksha claims the device is nickel- and lead-free and contains “no chemicals or toxins that could harm your respiratory health.” The mouthpiece can be removed for easy cleaning or replaced with a new one. The portable charging case provides up to 60 hours of battery life.
The tool Companion app for iOS It offers breath control games, playlists, and meditation exercises to make breathwork more engaging.
The app offers five categories of breathing exercises that all provide different benefits: Calm, Energy, Morning, Recovery, and Sleep. Each exercise follows a similar format: a brightly colored circle that expands and contracts to help you focus on your breathing, accompanied by soothing music or nature sounds in the background. Moksha believes that adding the breathing tool will help people feel confident that they’re doing their breathing exercises correctly.
The fun part of the test was playing a breathing control game called Copter. In this game, the player maneuvers a ball through the sky, dodging clouds using controlled inhalations and exhalations to guide the ball up and down. While addictive, it reminded me of the need to practice breathing frequently. (Why was I so bad at something as basic as breathing?) It also reminded me of the medical tools out there, such as Respiratory stimulus scalewhich acts as an exercise tool for patients to maintain strong lungs.
Similar to many traditional meditation apps, it monitors meditation sessions and keeps a daily log of users’ moods and thoughts.
The Smart Breathing device costs $150, which may seem like a steep price for something you can do every day for free. But the price is comparable to other meditation devices: Moon birdwhich you hold in your hand, costs $199; and TransformationAnother respirator, it sells for between $65 and $340, depending on the material it’s made of.
I’ve taken several breathing meditation classes in the past in an attempt to relieve anxiety, but I always had a hard time getting into it and making it a regular habit to see real results. However, after using Moksha for about a month, I can say that it has made the practice less boring for me. Granted, it’s still not a daily part of my routine, but I find myself drawn to it before stressful events or to unwind after a long week. Moksha also has a new game coming soon, so I’m looking forward to trying that out as well.
The mobile device can be used as a standalone product, but the app offers some free games and exercises. For $8 a month, you can access its full library of over 500 breathing activities. The Moksha app also features a fun rewards system that offers discounts on coffee and clothing to users just for using the app and breathing. The company has partnered with Instacart, the NBA Store, and Fanatics to offer coupons.
The company claims to have generated over $1 million in sales over its lifetime. To date, Moksha has raised just under $200,000 from Republic and angel investors.
