ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention concerns a meditation apparatus. More specifically, it relates to an improved meditation enhancing apparatus which facilitates and enhances the performance of virtually any meditation method.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Meditation methods and various devices for enhancing meditation are well known in the art. As will be seen, the simplicity and effectiveness of my invention is not rivaled in the prior art.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,167,075 issued to Pugh et al. discloses a meditation aid which has a frame which defines a geometric shape. The device is large enough to accommodate at least one person and may be suspended from the ceiling. The user may then conduct his meditation method inside the aid. By contrast, the present invention comprises a device which has a plurality of panels defining a geometric shape, which is preferably a pyramid. The device is small enough to be portable and may be positioned on a user's head during meditation.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,134,740 issued to Summer discloses a device which promotes proper seating of the user during meditation. The device has a tapered support member upon which the user places his legs. The support allows for sustained periods of meditation without circulation problems in the legs By contrast, the present invention contemplates a portable meditation aid which allow the user to assume any position he desires. The device has a plurality of crystals placed therein and positioned to enhance the user's meditation. The user can then perform his meditation ritual in whatever position he desires.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly, the invention comprises a meditation enhancing apparatus. The apparatus is a head covering which is made of a highly conductive metal such as copper. The head covering or helmet has several ports which are adapted to hold crystals, the ports being connected to conduits. The conduits serve to hold the crystals in position directly in front of the user's eyes and temples, as well as to conduct electromagnetic and other energy to the user's brain. The user may select crystals which have been effective in enhancing previous meditation sessions.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a new and improved meditation method and device therefor.
It is a major object of this invention to provide an improved meditation method and device therefor which uses both electrical/electromagnetic conductors and crystals.
It is another object of the invention to provide such an improved meditation method and device where the user may choose a particular meditation ritual to use with the method and device of the present invention.
It is another object of the invention to provide such an improved meditation method and device where the crystals may be selectively removed.
It is still another object of the invention to provide an improved meditation method and device where the device is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved meditation device which is lightweight and portable and does not require electrical power.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide an improved illuminated inspection device which has an integrated handle, battery enclosure, and pivoting mechanism.
Finally, it is a general object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
