The Orb is a biofeedback training device I bought from Amazon on a whim. You hold the soft ball in both hands with finger tips on the sensors, which then measures instant biometrics like heart rate variability and pulse. It connects to an Bluetooth app (of course) which gives you feedback on your nervous system reactions and tracks progress over time.
As you hold it and watch, the color coded feedback rings range from purple (very alert) to white (very calm.) So far, I've only seen white for a few seconds at a time. But I'm new at this.
The idea is to simply observe what you are feeling body and mind as the colors transition, which it does pretty rapidly at first. The harder you try to attain the white ring of Nirvana, the quicker it transitions back to stressful purple. Well, that's not much of a revelation. "Forcing" yourself to relax is counterproductive.
On the other hand, you could also get yourself a stress-relieving funny little pet. Time again for some cute doggie pictures from Carlton.
