The ZENflute is a unique, personal instrument designed for relaxation and meditation. It was developed as an alternative to the traditional Chinese Xun, which, despite its perfect sound for relaxation, can be challenging for most people to play. After extensive experimentation, we created the ZENflute: an intuitive, ergonomic instrument that emphasizes sound over music. Inspired by an ancient Chi Gong exercise, the ZENflute allows you to engage in breath meditation and solo practice, replacing the traditional hum with its own calming sound. It features a pentatonic scale of five notes plus the octave, with any combination of holes producing harmonizing notes.
Every ZENflute comes with its own app. Draw a breathing card, follow a meditation or listening exercise, and let the sound come by itself. No music experience needed – just your breath.

The ZENflute is played by exhaling slowly with a soft, long sigh, similar to breathing out gently and slowly. The sound is produced when all mouth muscles are completely relaxed, which is the opposite of how other blowhole instruments are played.
