In modern society, with the accelerated pace of life, pressure increases, and depression is rampant. After a long time of intense mental work, people will be mentally tired, dizzy, have memory loss, and inattention. In this context, many people began to try to practice mindfulness meditation to alleviate their mental health problems. But for beginners of meditation, in the process of learning how to meditate, the main reasons affecting meditation include that there are many thoughts in the process of meditation, and it is easy to be distracted. As a result, it is easy to fall asleep during meditation, and many people cannot choose effective meditation methods.
This project is to design and develop a mindfulness breathing trainer to help meditation beginners improve their state of being unable to focus on mindfulness meditation practice and help them adjust their breathing rate. We explore intervention with the meditator in multiple ways to get into an effective meditation state. For example, each color will have a substantial impact on people's thoughts or subconsciousness. Therefore, it is very effective to try to use color to improve their health, mood, or life efficiently. Understanding each color's characteristics and how to choose a specific color according to particular needs can effectively guide the meditator. At the same time, we will study the positive effects of sound and other methods on meditators and obtain enlightenment in the in-depth study in this field. In combination with applicable techniques, the effective mindfulness practice methods of Object meditation are used to enable meditators to practice mindfulness meditation more effectively.
Find a quiet place that allows you to focus on mindfulness training without being disturbed by external stimuli. Choose a comfortable sitting position and relax. Put the trainer in front of you and try to keep it in a position where you look straight or down. Focus on observing the object and keep breathing in sync with the opening and closing of the flowers' lights. Focus on observation and take a deep breath until you gain concentration and complete peace.
