Offices, hotels, and other features of daily life (back when they were open) can be stressful.
OpenSeed says it has a solution, in the form of 1,000-lb meditation pods that look like something that fell off a UFO. According to the company, they believe "that the human race will access higher states of awareness, not through external technological developments, but by taking the journey within." That's where Meditation Pods come in.
OpenSeed says potential clients include corporate offices, hotels, spas, and even private homes. By 2021, the company plans to start distributing pods to these clients, along with airport lounges, universities, co-working spaces, and more in the US, Japan, and Europe.
Take a look inside the $25,000 mediation pod.
OpenSeed meditation pods "facilitate moments of stillness" in busy environments, according to the company.
