Learning To Practice Mindfulness And Breath Work With The Moment Pebble

Mindfulness is something I really started looking into when I first visited Thailand. The calmness and serenity of the monks in the various temples fascinated me, so I started to do some research into Buddhism so I understood how they got to that level of peace. Mindfulness and meditation is something that came up regularly so I downloaded an app and got started. It really helps me after a stressful day but I do find trying to follow my own thoughts or an app a little distracting. That’s when I was introduced to the Moment Pebble.

The Moment Pebble is a handheld wirelessly charged natural stone device, which has personalised marbling and is hand polished to make it unique to its owner. Each pebble comes in a pouch so you can safely take it with you wherever you are the charge should last around 3 weeks.

You tap the pebble 3 times to let it know you are ready to start and you are good to go! The pebble’s light sequence follows cardiac coherence breathing; a breath work technique which encourages 5 seconds of breathing in, followed by 5 seconds of breathing out, in 4 cycles. The idea is that the breath technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system, resetting many of the negative impacts of stress.

You could argue that you can do this without the need for such a device, but the feel of the pebble in your hand is so calming and I love following the light patterns by sight. It gives me something other than my phone to concentrate on, making it the perfect way to take a screen break from work and to relax before bed without the bright screen of my phone.

There are a number of other meditative techniques you can follow when you get used to using your pebble that are explained in the booklet that comes with your order. The neurolinguistic programming technique is particularly fascinating and means you can also anchor positive feelings into your pebble.

Focusing on your mental health is more important than ever and I think most of us have had our mental health tested over the last 12 months of the pandemic. The Moment Pebble has really helped me to focus and destress where I can, and it will certainly help you to learn breath work and mindfulness in a practical way.

You can order yours from The Moment Company and the Moment Pebble is priced at £67.99. To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week the price has been slashed to £36.50. Be quick!
