Inspiration: Stop, Breathe, Think is an excellent app and website for guided meditations. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could start them up with your Amazon Echo?
Purpose: To test out the alexa developer story, not create a fully functioning skill. This project is a sketch of the initial skills component: connecting Alexa responses to some light python handling.
1. the invocation phrase 'echo < skill name >' is very awkward and doesn't lend itself easily to this purpose e.g., 'echo start stop breathe think.... echo ask stop breathe think.... echo play stop breathe think', try saying either of things.-
Stop, Breathe, Think doesn't hav any public API or supported ways for account authentication --> alt: do a web request with their 'just browsing' feature

streaming the meditation audio from stopthinkbreathe.org may be technically and copyright challening. TODO: Reaching out to stopthinkbreathe.org or Tools For Peace (TFP) for permission. :)
