In these technologically geared times we can find ourselves trying to be everywhere at once, which makes being at one with the moment almost impossible. For some people, the idea of disconnecting can be anxiety inducing.  A new app, Stop Breathe and Think might offer the insight we need to really switch off and get back in tune with ourselves.

Transcendental meditation is slowly gaining a following with celebrity names such as David Lynch almost making the practice synonymous with their own work. For many, the practice still seems inaccessible, to be aware of what is happening in the moment, both internally (your thoughts and feelings) and externally (your surrounding environment) can be hard work. The creators of Stop, Breathe and Think hope to make those lessons easier. Developed by Tools For Peace, an organisation dedicated to promoting and supporting 'emotional and social intelligence', the app asks the user to answer some questions on their body and mind to determine which meditations would be most effective.

Developers have been mindful of the high stress levels that come with having everything at our fingertips. Recently we saw Olive, a smart bracelet that helps monitor stress levels, and as things inevitably become faster there is a growing demand for technology that helps us to take things a little easier.
