“When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a candle in a windless place”
Our Mission
Historically, every civilization across the globe has practiced mindfulness in some form: chanting, harmonizing, vows of silence, breath work, study of scripture, secular repetition, prayer beads, fishing, mandalas, et cetera.
These traditions were handed from parent to child and reinforced by community practices.
The modern world has changed this. We’re more isolated, anxious, and distracted than ever before.
Our mission is to serve as your sensei (the east Asian word for teacher) as you restore a sense of zen in your life.
It all starts with a single breath.
Our Values
Universally Accessible
Breath is shared by all living things. It is universally accessible to all human beings. By reconnecting with our breath, we can restore our equilibrium.
Judgement Free
No two individuals share the same life journey. Regardless of who you are, what you believe, or where you find yourself, we can help without expectations or judgement.
Disconnect to Reconnect
We are constantly pulled out of the moment by notifications and distractions. To reconnect with ourselves, we must first learn to disconnect.
Kindness is Key
We strive to make the kindest possible decisions in every aspect of our business. We believe that this intention will allow kindness to proliferate beyond our reach.
Our Story
ZenSei was a pandemic baby. During the height of uncertainty and unrest in the summer of 2020, we set out to find a way to better manage stress and restore a sense of inter-connectivity. We sought an easy and accessible way to disconnect and quiet our minds. After trying 50+ devices, we could not find what we were looking for: a simple guide as you breath. Necessity being the mother of invention, we got to work. Using off-the-shelf parts, a prototype was cobbled together.
Within 3 days of use, it became clear: guided breathing actually works!
Dozens of different prototypes were 3D printed and tested. We looked across various industries to get the ergonomics right. The patterns were tweaked again and again. We obsessed over every detail from the materials to our packaging.
After 3 years, we are proud to present ZenSei. We hope that every single one of our customers benefit from what we’ve built. Our intention remains simple: increase calm and kindness here on spaceship Earth.
