Meditation is as old as mankind. It needs almost no props, save a cushion, some instructions and an intent to meditate. It gives a number of benefits ranging from increased happiness, stress relief, a better immune system, better concentration, enhanced quality of life and so on. Some might even say it gives insight into the nature of things as they really are.
We live in the technology age, where life is more fast paced than ever before and there exist a range of distractions. Many would say technology has made us more disconnected from nature and from the real world. However, technology can also be used as a tool for aiding meditation or enhancing the meditation and well-being experience, partly thanks to the variety of technologies such as EEG, tDCS, PEMF, binaural beats that can be leveraged in wearable devices.
In this book, we explore a variety of wearable gadgets and apps that can help in meditation and enhancing well-being and happiness. We also share the authors’ experience in using some of these apps and gadgets.
It is hoped that learning about these will encourage the readers to try out some of them, and utilize them to improve their own meditation.
