Maybe you’ve already tried several things to relax: apps, breathing exercises on YouTube, meditation before bed. Often, they work for a while, but the routine fades. Why? It’s hard to integrate into a busy life. You're tired, you forget, or you drop out after yet another notification.

With the Pebbles, this is a thing of the past.

Glimp @ Connectdag Ademcoaches

“Your stress regulation is not determined by how well you relax on vacation, but by
how quickly you recover between efforts in your daily life.”
— neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman
In other words: small moments of rest have a greater effect than the occasional big moment of rest. Why? Because you train your nervous system to return to relaxation more quickly. This makes you more resilient, calmer and more resistant to stress.

When you breathe consciously and slowly, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your autonomic nervous system that is responsible for rest and recovery. This lowers your heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones such as cortisol.

Get instant insight into your mental health with the Glimp app

Get even more out of your breathing sessions with the Pebbles thanks to the unique bio-sensor and the Glimp app. The Pebbles are easy to connect to the app and give you insight into your results. But you'll also find many great guided sessions in the app that are linked to your Pebbles.

Bio-sensor

The unique bio-sensor synchronizes with your breathing and provides control over your mental health. The sensor listens to your body's signals during the session and measures stress. For this purpose, the sensor measures heart rate variability (HRV), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and skin temperature.
