Mindsight 'Breathing Buddha' Guided Visual Meditation Tool for Mindfulness | Slow Your Breathing & Calm Your Mind for Stress & Anxiety Relief | Perfect for Adults & Kids | Relaxing Self Care Gift

For the price, this is the best meditation assistant device available anywhere, at this time. I do think my additional purchase of an hourglass is necessary, without a timer for me it's hard to focus. I have a BA in Psychology & have formal meditation training for decades, in fact 3 decades as a Certified Yoga Therapist- even with the authors of Meditation for Dummies, Yoga for Dummies, & the founder of the military PTSD meditation research- I studied computer based meditation in College, "Biofeedback"- & yes, if you have the money look into Tech For Psych- expect to pay $500 or more. Right now for me, I have a Concussion now from a car accident 3 years ago, & my lawsuit hasn't paid out yet the $2 million I was promised. This is very simple and easy to use, not too small, not too big. There are a lot of competing devices, I picked this one after looking at them all. It has the 3 breathing methods, plus night light lamp, which I actually use a lot now. I only use the "stream" noise, or no noise. It's ridiculously convenient, just put it on a table or at eye level & start breathing & counting or using a mantra word or whatever works for you. Sand hourglasses can be found here on Amazon for about $9, of various minutes. That's the only criticism I have, it doesn't have a timer or way to end your meditation formally. Maybe you can set a gong timer on your phone. Might be the best money you ever spend, learning to calmly breathe, practicing this. I know BKS Iyengar wrote a huge book, Light on Pranayama, and this Breathing Buddha isn't on that level. This is simple & easy and worthy. I cannot recommend it higher, if you are looking for something like this, get this one.

This product is awesome. The Buddha is soft and squishy. The size is small, but provides ample light. There are several great settings for different light patterns to aid breathing techniques. Great design and value for the money. I use mine every night!! Battery lasts for week on one charge.

This product is fantastic. I work with special needs kids with emotional dysregulation and mindfulness and we use breathing to calm down when we get activated. Videos exist but the kids tend to get off track with the video and I thought the sloth would be a visual cue but not one that would distract. They LOVE the sloth. They watch his color change and know to inhale/exhale. It is soft, pleasantly lit (color) and works fantastic with multiple settings. This is a game changer for my class. Thank you. I might need to get one for me for my home practice. :)

The media could not be loaded. I had recently ordered another product made by this company. It's a cloud with rainfall effects. Talk about calming! I loved it so much that I had to check out this company's full product line. That led me to my new Buddha buddy. He's as adorable as he effective at helping me to re-center myself, breathe deeply and stress less. He's really easy to use as well. You just follow the beautiful colors, and you're good. You decide how long you want to practice. Not only does he fit on my desk, but he makes it look good! Also, he's some sort of silicon or rubber, so that means he'll be easy to clean. I could not love this guy more. I might be biased though because I collect Buddhas (of the fat variety) and I even have a tramp stamp tattoo of a Buddha sitting on an open Lotus Flower while making a peace sign. There's just something about a jolly, spiritual guy that makes me happy. Don't you want a Breathing Buddha in your life too?!

The media could not be loaded. EDIT: Fantastic customer service! Would likely order from this company again :)Such mixed opinions on this. I feel like I would be completely satisfied with my purchase if I had not upgraded to the one with sound features. The sounds for this are pretty awful. They sound artificial and noisy.But on the other hand, I love the lights. The colors are beautiful and blend well together and I adore the night light feature! There are a couple of different breathing patterns, which is neat.It's super soft, smooth and smooshy! It comes with a charger. It's pretty small so I can imagine it'd be easy to travel with. It's cute so you don't have to worry about hiding it when it's not in use.Overall, a good value for my money if like I said, I didn't get the one with sound. Just stick with the regular one and you'll be ok.

This item is perfect for anyone needing help sleeping. It’s extremely lightweight but durable, and its babysoft exterior makes it a joy to hold. It’s USB powered so, once charged, there’s no worry about having to change out batteries. The emanating light is bright but not blinding and easily adjustable from high to low with just a finger touch on the top. The breathing rhythms are easy to cycle through and the “night light” function is a great bonus. Overall, it’s a fantastic assistance to reducing stress and getting a better nights sleep.

I run a regulation room, in my local school. The students really love the breathing Buddha and it gives the kids a nice visual to guide them through different breathing techniques. I think many school, calming rooms or regulation rooms or Zen rooms. Whatever you want to call these tranquil rooms could really benefit from. Having a breathing Buddha in them. Now that I’ve had it for a week or two and have shown students how to use it. It has become a great de-escalating tool.
