THE MEDITATION FAST TRACK

If you’ve been deterred from meditating by the hours that you’re expected to commit before getting the hang of it, you might want to skip straight to Sensate 2. This palm-sized electronic ‘pebble’ sits on your chest (you need to be lying down), and uses low-frequency infrasonic technology – ie, subaudible vibrating pulses – to stimulate the vagus nerve, which in turn helps you relax – instantly, apparently: ‘Think of the vagus nerve as the brake pedal for the mind and body,’ says the Sensate website.
