Stress, busyness and an overall sense of constant stimulation has primed modern society to always be on the go-go-go, yet the slew of relaxation-encouraging technology that has been hitting the market over the last few years shows just how much people want to pull back and unwind.
Whether targeting stress and anxiety specifically or simply introducing meditation practices for a more balanced approach to life, this collection of relaxation-encouraging technology will help people find some much-needed inner peace. It ranges from physical headsets that track biometric readings to simpler apps that guide people into a calm state of mind as well as smart bracelets that can be worn throughout the entire day. Relaxation-encouraging technology has never been more accessible.
