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.


 

Introducing b — Mindfulness Made Tangible

Millions of people have attempted to start Meditating and practicing Mindfulness because they've heard about the incredible effects and health benefits. Yet many fail to cultivate an ongoing practice because there's nothing holding them accountable. b changes this by using patent-pending breathing technology to make sure you keep flourishing.

b helps guide you to a happier and healthier life by tapping into the power of our breath. b takes advantage of hardware and software to act as an interactive and intuitive breathing guide. All you have to do is sit back and breathe.

 

 

What People Are Saying

 

How b Works

b uses Bluetooth to pair with a mobile application and pressure sensors to monitor each breath you take.

You can also use the breathe with b mobile application to stream individual breathing exercises directly to your b device, view data from each session, and set up reminders to breathe. This all helps to cultivate a mindful breathing practice, which has been shown to increase lung capacity and improve overall health and wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is b a Vaporizer?
No! b has absolutely zero chemicals, oils or aromas. Unlike smoking, b actually improves your lung strength and capacity by encouraging regular breathing practice.

Can’t I just breathe mindfully by myself?

You can, but are you? Be honest, during a regular day, are you taking time to just breathe? It's made all the difference to us.

Also, you can walk, exercise, drink water and sleep by yourself, yet there are products built specifically for each of these because people need someone or something to hold them accountable. b does this by sending you daily reminders to breathe and shows you tips on how to improve your breathing habits.
