Wellbeing is becoming more and more challenging Present stressful lifestyles and, to an extent, the pandemic have redefined our health. With more and more screen-time becoming an unavoidable habit with all of us, wellbeing has become a distant priority. Data abundance, technology, ever-shifting dynamics at workplace and eating habits are gnawing away at our health, physical and psychological. All of us understand the necessity of holistic wellbeing and the need to be stressless and happy. Considering that these lifestyle changes, at least most of them, are unavoidable, do we have a choice? Should we remain deficient, mundane and unwell, physically and psychologically? How about leveraging technology to facilitate holistic well-being? How do you get rid of the cognitive inertia resulting from such a lifestyle? You are looking towards a preponed burnout and certainly a decreased lifespan. The 'echo' experience 'echo' fills the wellness void in your lives. With an innate understanding of sound energy and its effects on the human body and mind, 'echo' heals and promotes wellness in you with the use of sound.'echo' personalizes the music experience through the use of Artificial Intelligence based technology. It measures your vitals afresh every time you put it to use. Every piece of music you hear is customised to your present well-being and long-term holistic wellness. Carefully curated playlists for wellness, meditative sounds, celestial chants, and music for sleep can usher in the wellness and help your physical body cure and rejuvenate itself. - Music for stress relief is very useful to destress your mind after a busy day of work. Once your mind is stress free, most of your wellness needs fall in place. Calming the mind first is critical to kick-start the process of holistic wellness. - Meditation is a collection of thoughts that connect to the inner silence or self for an elevated state of awareness and focus, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system and produces happy hormones for reduced stress and anxiety. - Celestial sounds and Chants - Sound energy creates vibrations that have the power to heal with flow of energies .Chants invoke celestial vibrations in the throats while uttering them, which channelizes energy through our bodies that generate the 'energy to heal'. - Sleep - Sleep is a state where we have minimal interactions with our surroundings. The number of hours we sleep is a very subjective discussion and varies from person to person. Sleep disorders like insomnia or sleep apnea are very common. Training the brain to a pattern of sleep can cure such conditions. Listening to the right type of music also enables muscle relaxation. The therapeutic and holistic 'echo' experience is a collection of all the above wellness channels. All you need to do is to ensure that it fits into your schedule and promotes internal wellness. We are proud of it! 'echo' is a collection of truly massive quantum of data structures, akin to multi-class neural networks in a human brain. And, the count is continuously growing, just like the human brain. It can self-learn, and learns continuously from your daily use and interactions with it, tailoring the music to suit your needs. echo have following subscription plans: Yearly: $12.99 Payments and Renewal: - Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
