Companies are trying a variety of innovative approaches to help their employees reduce stress levels and relax.

Many companies have instituted in-office Yoga or massage. Some even have naps rooms.

At the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, AOL Digital Media head Arianna Huffington even spoke about having nap rooms installed at her New York City headquarters; although she noted that sometimes she sees two employees leave the room at the same time.

Also at CES this year Dr. Deepak Chopra, health and wellness expert and author introduced a new product called the Dream Weaver.

This electronic device automatically brings the user to the same meditative state it takes experienced meditators years to achieve. However, Chopra insists it is no substitute for meditation and true transcendence.

The device consists of a set of goggles with 16 LEDs facing in.

A meditation or relaxation program is placed on a CD over the music and sound track at 19.2KHz, a frequency humans cannot hear, which controls the LEDs in the goggles.

The user experiences this program with eyes closed. There are no subliminal messages involved.

“Almost every culture in the world has a method to get people to an altered state whether it is Hindu meditation & Kirtan, Gregorian chanting, Hebrew davening, Tibetan prayer bowls, Native American drum circles and chants, Sufi chants, whirling dervishes and African trance dancing,” Chopra said. “I’m sure you will experience something very relaxing, very dreamlike and possibly put you to sleep as well.”

Nap rooms an the Dream Weaver may not be ready for prime time all workplaces, but enlightened employers know relaxed and refreshed employees are productive employees.

The device and three program disks with nine programs ranging from six minutes to one hour is available at www.DeepakChopra.com/DreamWeaver.
