Our Story
For years, many have turned to mindfulness and meditation as a way to enhance gratitude, awareness and focus but a majority of us struggle with starting and continuing to practice. Our Founder, Eric, was no different.
Eric was a stressed out Software Developer coding on the computer, who without thinking picked up a pen, took off the cap, and started breathing through it. After 15 minutes of this he felt mentally clear and completely relaxed. He then tried using the pen cap during his Meditation practice and boom, same thing — completely focused and calm. After doing this for a month Eric says he never felt better and decided to build a device that optimizes breathing mindfully with the world.
