Breezy: Mindful Vibrations

Whether you're looking to drift off to sleep, relax, or be more present, Breezy may be able to help. Breezy works right on your phone so you can use it anywhere, anytime. Breezy can be effective with just a few minutes of use.
There are two categories of experiences in Breezy–Pure Vibrations and Guided Meditations.
Pure Vibrations is a vibration-only mode where the vibrations repeat in a soothing manner. The current experiences offered are: Fall Asleep, Relax, Clear your Mind, and Feel Cat Purring.
Guided Meditations blend guided narration, sound (like breath or heartbeats), and timed vibrations for a fully immersive experience! The experiences offered are: Long Deep Breathing, Heartbeat, and Quick Calm Down. The Guided Meditations are approximately 5 minutes long.
To use Breezy, simply:
1. Select your experience
2. Adjust the duration (Pure Vibrations only) and intensity to what feels right for you
3. Press play
Your phone will likely sleep at the end of the experience, depending on your phone’s settings.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to put your phone in Do Not Disturb mode so that you don’t have any distractions or feel any buzzes from texts or calls. Breezy also works in Airplane Mode in case you don't want an active phone on your body.
METHOD:
Breezy is best experienced laying or sitting down with the phone in the middle of your chest. You can experiment with different parts of your body to find the most comfortable and impactful location for you. For a stronger sensation, hold the phone in place. You can also just hold the phone in your hand if you like.

IS BREEZY BACKED BY SCIENCE?
There haven’t been any scientific studies conducted with Breezy, though that is a likelihood in the future.
The principles, however, are backed by science. There are numerous peer-reviewed studies demonstrating positive effects of haptic vibrations for sleep, relaxation, and improved heart rate variability. You can find papers on these topics, such as: The Calming Effect of Heartbeat Haptic Vibration, Design and Validation of a Tactile Aid to Ease Anxiety, and Good Vibes - The Impact of Haptic Patterns on Stress Reduction.
MEDICAL DEVICE WARNING:
If you have a medical device like a pacemaker, Breezy could interfere with the device if you place your phone on your chest. Please consult your doctor with any questions.
