Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus for employing aromatherapy, binaural sounds, music, vibration, and visual effects for altering a user's emotional state. The apparatus comprises a shape memory foam pillow, a pair of stereo speakers, an aromatherapy diffuser, a pillowcase comprised of heat-transfer fabric, a vibrating device, a strobe light, a canopy, and a housing to integrate and support these elements. The user connects a smartphone or other portable digital audio device to the speakers, activates the aromatherapy diffuser, strobe light, and vibrating device, independently or in combination, and then lays his head down on the pillow beneath the open canopy. Ideally, the smartphone or audio device should have a meditation or binaural sound application, which would be tuned to a specific beat frequency, e.g. 10 Hertz. The combined action of essential oil vapors, binaural sounds or music, vibration, and strobe light should alter the user's emotional state towards relaxation, sleepiness, or increased alertness, depending on the essential oils, sounds, and light patterns employed.
