Transforming Mental Breakdown into Mental Wellness Revolution

In 1995, limited training facilities prompted Abhinav Bindra's father to build a world-class shooting range at their home. Years later, a near-miss at the Athens Olympics taught Abhinav the critical importance of mental strength in sports.

A few years back, In an interview covered by Indian Express, Abhinav emphasized that winning isn't solely about skill, but also about mastering one's mind. Abhinav recalls moments of triumph, where a sense of stillness and tranquility while holding the rifle led to consistent accuracy.

His ability to cultivate inner stillness became key to his success, culminating in his historic gold medal win in the 10-meter air rifle event 13 years after his journey began.

In 2020, Abhinav Bindra and badminton icon P Gopichand joined forces to create the Dhyana ring - which transcends traditional fitness trackers, offering a glimpse into the user's mental state.

Beyond the sports arena, picture this: a stress alert before a crucial meeting, a quick meditation session, and you walk in feeling calm & collected. It monitors your heart rate variability, offering insights into stress levels, sleep quality, and overall mental alertness. Imagine getting a gentle nudge when stress is building up, followed by a guided meditation to help you regain your calm.

The Indian Olympic Association embraced the Dhyana ring as its official meditation partner during the Tokyo Olympics.

initially offered in just black and white, the Dhyana ring now comes in a variety of colors. It has been widely utilized by both the Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad and the Neuromeditation Institute in Oregon to study the impact of heart rate variability (HRV) on mental states at different times, like before and after workouts, or before meetings.

It's safe to say that the market is saturated with fitness and mental health rings. Price-wise, this particular ring has various models and starts at USD 240, plus an additional shipping fee of USD 30 depending on where you are.

Of course, the proof is in the pudding. But if the Dhyana ring lives up to its claims, it could mark a significant shift in how we approach mental health, both on and off the field.
