Abstract
The breath synchronization lighting devices and apparatus helps the user to regulate their breathing rate by moving a light source with respect to a stationary shade or cover. The shade or cover, optionally perforated or with an integrated obscuring pattern, partially blocks the light created by the light source. The result is the generation of a shadow pattern on adjacent surfaces. As the light moves with respect to the cover, the shadow pattern correspondingly moves on the surface is surrounding the device. The result is a cycling shadow pattern on adjacent surfaces, the pattern timed to match the ideal breathing rate of the user, helping the user to slow their breathing and reach a calm and meditative state.
Claims14
A device that creates a rhythmically cycling pattern of shadows, the device comprising:
- a light source;
- the light source emitting light;
- the light source having an upper position, an intermediate position, and a lower position;
- the light source continuously cycling between the upper position and the lower position, passing through the intermediate position;
- a shadow-formation cover;
- the light from the light source passing through the shadow-formation cover;
- the shadow-formation cover obscuring or altering the light as it passes, creating a moving pattern of shadows on any adjacent surfaces;
- and
- whereby the moving pattern of shadows matches a desired breathing rate of a user, helping the user to reach a relaxed state.
A device to project a moving pattern of shadows onto adjacent surfaces, the device comprising:
- a light source that emits light;
- a shadow-forming cover adjacent to the light source;
- the light source cyclically changing position in a linear back-and-forth movement between an first light source position and a second light source position with respect to the shadow-forming cover;
- the light emitted by the light source being partially obscured by the shadow-forming cover, resulting in a cyclically changing shadow pattern projected on adjacent surfaces;
- and
- whereby the cyclically changing shadow pattern is timed to match a desired breathing rate of a user, helping the user to reach a meditative state.
A device to create a cyclically moving pattern of shadows on adjacent surfaces, the cyclically moving pattern of shadows created by motion of a shade and a light with respect to each other, the device comprising:
- a perforated cover;
- a light source;
- the light source creating light, the light passing through the perforated cover;
- the perforated cover partially blocking the light to create a pattern of light and shadow on adjacent surfaces;
- the pattern of light and shadow cycling as the light source moves cyclically in a linear back-and-forth movement between an first light source position and a second light source position with respect to the perforated cover;
- whereby the pattern of light and shadow moves in a manner that encourages a user to match their breathing rate, helping the user to reach a calm state.
