The right to disconnect.
When work mostly happened at a factory and play was going to the movies, they both had something in common: we clocked out and the credits rolled in. Today it's different. The area between closing a screen or leaving a room for work, and using that same screen or room for recreation is grey. When can we truly rest?

- it changed their lives.We blink 68% less when looking at screens.
When we unnaturally extend our near focus, we stop blinking. Our tears evaporate twice as fast and our ocular muscles fatigue as does our mind. Blinks also act as a tiny rest period for the brain to process information, and help us re-focus with heightened attention.
The need for a break for both our eyes and our mind is why we built REST.
What is Thermal Meditation™?
REST combines heating, cooling, and vibration for a sensory experience you can feel. One that draws your awareness away from the day and into the present moment. Gentle changes in temperature or vibration help guide your breath to a resonant frequency to calm both body and mind.
