ABSTRACT:
The method of the present invention consists of generating a repetitious sound which is intended to be repeated by the user to focus mental concentration on an audible focal point and concurrently with the generation of the repeated sound, releasing a fragrance which over repeated use will become associated in the mind of the user with a relaxed state which is induced by the constant repetition of the sound. The apparatus of the present invention includes means for generating a sound at timed intervals to initiate the relaxation state and means for generating a fragrance which becomes associated in the mind of the user with the relaxed state induced by the sound. Means are also provided for amplifying the sound so that it is audible to the user of the device. The sound generating means, the fragrance diffusion means and the audible means are combined in a headset which further includes at least one ear piece which is fitted over the ear of the user. The fragrance diffusing means is incorporated into the headset for diffusion of the fragrance while the sound is being transmitted to the user. The fragrance is produced by essential oils derived from various plants which have a pleasing and relaxing fragrance or a blend of such oils.
