"Traditional meditation tools can feel overwhelming, and screens disrupt the relaxation they aim to promote," says Broes. Hold the ergonomic device in your hand, breathe in when it gently expands, and out when it contracts. The soothing guidance encourages the holder to adapt rapid or inconsistent breathing to a more restful pattern, shifting their body into a “rest-and-digest” state so they feel calmer, more relaxed, and can fall asleep more easily. Moonbird can be used by adults or kids. **Buy Now:** Moonbird on [Moonbird](https://fave.co/3YgDHcI "undefined") | [Amazon](https://amzn.to/3UpuhdB "undefined") These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094690/moonbird/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094690/moonbird/"},"headline":"Moonbird: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024","datePublished":"2024-10-30T11:55:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T11:54:29.201Z","description":"Find out why Moonbird is one of the best inventions of 2024","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094690/moonbird/","keywords":["Tech","E-Commerce","list","franchise","Magazine","best inventions"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte22f635b1fe6e604/698a8a17db29873ea1270c69/moonbird-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Mateo","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-mateo/"}],"creator":"Ashley Mateo","articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte22f635b1fe6e604/698a8a17db29873ea1270c69/moonbird-best-inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094690/moonbird/","name":"Moonbird: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024"}}]}] ```
