BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Stress is the body's natural defense against predators and danger. It causes the body to flood with hormones that prepare its systems to evade or confront danger. The stress levels of human beings are increasing day by day.
Stress is a fact of nature in which forces from the inside or outside world affect the individual, either one's emotional or physical well-being, or both. What is stressful for one person may not be stressful for another, and almost any event can potentially cause stress. Previous experiences may affect how a person reacts to stressors. The physical effects of stress can include sweating, pain in the back or chest, cramps or muscle spasms, fainting, headaches, nervous twitches, and pins and needles sensations.
Meditation apps aren't just a boon for consumers hoping to learn how to be more present at an affordable price. If effective, they also have implications for workplaces, schools, and even nations, who want to cultivate happier and healthier communities.
