You Might Look Insane, But This Will Have You Stress-Free In 3 Minutes

Need a quick break from the stresses of your day? Love looking like you're seeing into the future? Well, you may just be in luck thanks to a new "Personal Relaxation Pod" crowdfunding on Indiegogo right now. Okay, so it's not really a "pod" in the traditional sense. It's more of a glorified sleep mask — complete with flashing LED lights and wafting aromatherapy. Basically, whenever you feel stressed out (or right before you head to sleep) you can put on your relaxation pod and go through a three-minute guided meditation provided by an app (including an ASMR program). The mask, lights, and smells supposedly work together to help keep you from getting distracted by anxiety and external stimuli. Before we go too far, we want to remind you that we are definitely fans of meditation, and any app that makes it easier to do that — with or without flashing lights — is likely helping someone. And, you could probably find a new way to use your favorite stress-relieving app with this fun pod. But, we're not totally sold on the idea of a whipping out a face mask in the middle of the day (although it could provide an especially dramatic end to a difficult meeting). To get a better idea of how it works, check out the (truly inspiring) video below.
