Moonbird Handheld Breathing Coach Perhaps just as vital as exercise, stress management and proper sleep are primary components of any healthy lifestyle, and this intelligent handheld helps the chronically overworked and under-rested with a range of breath management techniques. Simply hold it in your hand and let the pre-set vibrations slow down your heart rate, guiding you into a relaxed state in as little as five minutes. Simply place your thumb on the sensor to activate, and the pocket-sized device expands when it’s time to breathe in, then contracts to remind you to exhale, offering real-time bio feedback on HR and HRV. $199, moonbird.life
