Are provided so that the environment in the closed space 3 can be seen at a glance.

A breathing pacemaker 18 is disposed below the screen 5 in the air conditioning box 13 and below the light control slit 14. This breath pacemaker 18
Is composed of a light source composed of a light emitting diode and a control means for controlling light emission from this light source. By inputting a breathing pace to the control means in advance, blinking is repeated at a set pace (rhythm). . The operation unit for setting the breathing pace of the breathing pacemaker 18 may be arranged anywhere in the meditation room apparatus 1, but it is preferable to arrange it on, for example, a relaxation sheet to be described later because the operation is easy.

In the closed space 3, a screen 5 and a breathing pacemaker 18 are provided on the floor slightly closer to the door 2 than the center thereof.
A relaxation seat (chair) (hereinafter, abbreviated as a seat) 19 is disposed so as to face the. This sheet 1
9 is a lifter 20 provided under the floor as shown in FIG.
It is connected to the upper part of the seat and has a circular cushion portion, and is in the form of a chair. Lifter (lifter
Step 20 is for moving up and down the rod 21 connected to the bottom portion of the cushion portion of the seat 19 by hydraulic pressure. Instead of continuously raising or lowering when raising or lowering, for example, when raising a certain stroke, It is raised to a predetermined position by repeatedly lowering it slightly and then raising it again. Since the seat 19 moves up and down in synchronism with the rod under such a configuration, a person sitting on the seat 19 lifts the seat 19 because the seat 19 moves up and down repeatedly while rising. Instead of being caught, it feels floating.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an α-wave indicator (α-wave detecting means) (hereinafter abbreviated as an indicator) 22 is attached to the backrest of the seat 19. As shown in FIG. 4, this indicator 21 is a sensor belt 23 for a person sitting on the seat 19 to wear on the head.
A sensor (not shown) attached to the sensor belt 23 detects brain waves of a seated person, and α waves (alpha waves 1; 7 to 8 Hz, alpha waves 2;
911 Hz, alpha wave 3; 12 to 13 Hz). Further, an operating portion is formed on the front surface of the indicator 22, and the operation level of the α wave can be set by operating the operating portion. When the indicator 22 detects an α wave of a preset level, the lifter 20 is activated to raise the seat 19 as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 3, and when the α wave falls below the set level, the lifter 2
It is electrically connected to the lifter 20 so as to lower 0. In addition, the measurement results of α waves can be printed out. Of the electroencephalograms, α waves often appear when people are extremely relaxed, that is, when they are in a state of meditation, for example, just before going to sleep, and conversely, the amount of this α wave should be measured. By this, the degree of relaxation of the person can be measured.

As shown in FIG. 4, the seat 19 is provided with a relaxation ball (hereinafter abbreviated as ball) 24 at the front portion of its cushion portion. This ball 24, if you touch it as if you wrap it in your hand,
The internal light source shines by sensing the skin current of the hand,
The intensity of light is changed according to the magnitude of skin current. That is, when the person touching the ball 24 is tense, the skin current is large and the light is strong, and when the person is relaxing, the skin current is small and the light is weak. Therefore, the person touching this can objectively understand his / her relaxed state.
The sheet 19 is provided with these operation units so that the image displayed on the screen 5 can be selected and the blinking rhythm of the breathing pacemaker 18 can be set.

Next, a method of using the meditation room device 1 having such a configuration will be described. First, check the air-conditioning state in the closed space 3 by looking at the display panel 4 of the door 2 and
After entering the inside and closing the door 2, the control panel 17 of the air conditioning box 13 sets the inside of the closed space 3 to a desired air conditioning state. Next, by sitting on the seat 19 and operating the operation unit, an image displayed on the screen 5 and an optimal breathing pace for relaxing one's own are selected. In addition, the operating portion of the indicator 22 is operated to set the detection level of the α wave, the sensor belt 23 is attached to the head, and the ball 24 is wrapped by the hand.

The selected environmental image is displayed on the screen 5, and the light corresponding to this image is emitted from the R of the illuminating body 11 and the dimming slit 14.
Irradiation from the illuminator with a GB dimming function into the closed space 3 through each liquid crystal shutter. Further, a sound corresponding to the image flows from the speakers 6 and 6, and further, the air conditioning in the closed space 3 is set and the scent corresponding to the image drifts in the room.
People who are sitting on seat 19 in such an environment
It makes you feel as if you are in the environment of the image displayed on the screen 5, for example, like running horse lights, various things come to your mind and disappear, gradually moving from a tense state to a relaxed state.

Further, the respiratory pacemaker 18 is started after a lapse of a predetermined time after the image is displayed. Then, the person on the seat 19 feels relaxed by breathing in accordance with the blinking of the breathing pacemaker 18, and relaxes more and more. Depending on the setting of the breathing pacemaker 18, the blinking interval gradually becomes longer after a certain period of time, and if the person breathes in accordance with this, the breathing pattern slows down unknowingly and the relaxed state becomes deeper. The transition to the relaxed state in this way can be objectively confirmed by the weak light of the ball 24.

When a preset time elapses, the image gradually disappears, the sound becomes smaller accordingly, and the dimming in the closed space 3 becomes gradually darker. Then, the person on the seat 19 eventually falls into a deep relaxing state, that is, a meditation state. Then, many α-waves appear from the brain wave of this person, and the amount thereof is detected by the sensor belt 23. Then, when the meditation state deepens and the amount of α-wave exceeds the set value, the lifter 20 operates and the seat 19
Rises quietly. At this time, as the seat 19 rises discontinuously as described above, the person on the seat 19 feels as if he / she is floating.

Further, when the amount of α-wave exceeds a preset target value, laser light is emitted from the laser generator 10 into the closed space 3, and the person on the seat 19 is in a deep meditation state. To know After fully relaxing in this way and experiencing a deep meditation state, the measured value of the α wave is printed out from the indicator 22 as necessary to confirm the state of the day.

In such a meditation room device 1, under the environment of the image of the screen 5 and the dimming and sound corresponding to this image, and also the favorable air-conditioning condition and the scent corresponding to the image. By breathing with a breathing rhythm preset by the breathing pacemaker 18, the self can be easily moved to a meditation state. Also, by continuing this regularly, you can acquire the feeling of calming and relaxing, which can increase your concentration.

Although only one seat 19 is arranged in the above embodiment, a plurality of seats 19 may be arranged as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG.

[0028]

As described above, the meditation room device of the present invention includes an image, dimming and sound corresponding to the image,
Furthermore, in an environment with a good air-conditioning condition, breathing at a preset breathing rhythm by the breathing adjustment means facilitates the transition to one's own meditation state.
