emWave trains you to achieve a higher level of coherence, a scientifically measurable state characterized by increased order and harmony in our psychological (mental and emotional) processes as well as physiological (bodily) processes. Research shows that when we activate this state, our physical systems function more efficiently, we experience greater emotional stability and we gain increased mental clarity and improved cognitive function. emWave's patented technology monitors the subtle beat-to-beat changes in your heart rhythms and determines the level of coherence found in these rhythms.

How emWave Works
The emWave is based on hard science and incorporates the same patented HRV measurement and coherence scoring process found in the Freeze-Framer Interactive Learning System, HeartMath's award winning PC based product that is being used by ten's of thousands of people in over 50 countries.

emWave shows the effects of stress on your body by measuring the subtle changes in your heart rhythms. This type of measurement is known as heart rate variability analysis or HRV. The analysis of HRV is recognized as a powerful, non-invasive measure that reflects heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in emotional state. However, emWave does a lot more than just show the effects of stress on your body. It reduces stress by training you to create more "coherence." Coherence is a term used by scientists to describe a highly efficient physiological state in which the nervous system, cardiovascular, hormonal and immune systems are working efficiently and harmoniously. Coherence is a state very similar to what athletes experience when they are in what is called "The Zone".

When you experience stressful emotions such as tension, anxiety, irritation, or anger, your heart rhythm pattern becomes irregular and incoherent, which negatively affects health, brain function, performance and your sense of well-being.

Ordered and harmonious heart rhythms are an indicator of your "coherence level". High coherence is a state associated with positive emotional attitudes which send signals to the brain that reduce stress, improve brain function, hormonal balance, immune response, coordination and reaction times.

Using emWave
emWave determines the degree of coherence found in your heart rhythm patterns and displays changes in real-time on a large tri-colored LED--the Coherence Level Indicator.

• A red light indicates low coherence which would be normal.
• A blue light indicates medium coherence which shows good improvement.
• A green light indicates high coherence the optimal high performance, stress-free state.

The goal in using emWave is to reduce stress by achieving and sustaining High Coherence (green). The Coherence Coach CD (included) provides instruction on how to do the Quick Coherence Technique to improve your coherence scores with emWave.

emWave is easy to use. Simply place your thumb on the sensor or attach the Ear Sensor. After your pulse is detected a breathing pacer which synchronizes to your heart rhythms begins. As you practice the Quick Coherence Technique, breathing with the pacer while at the same time activating a positive feeling like the care you have for someone or the appreciation you have for the good things in your life, your coherence level (indicated in a large colorful LED) will begin to change from red to blue to green.

emWave offers four challenge levels to help you sharpen your coherence building skills. You can change the brightness of the LED displays and the audio feedback level. Additionally, it incorporates an accumulated coherence scoring display so you can track your progress during a session and an advanced user mode.

For most people in today's high-stress world, it is rare for sustained periods of coherence to occur. Now with emWave Personal Stress Reliever you have a convenient, practical way to help you reduce stress and shift into a higher state of coherence anytime, anywhere. Your stress will diminish and your feelings of well-being, balance and enhanced energy will increase.

Testimonials
"I have been amazed at the difference between using emWave compared to other forms of focusing your energy or relaxation techniques. This is an easy tool to keep with you and use whenever you want the benefit of improved performance, whether it's dealing with a stressful situation or problem solving. I have also found it helpful before you go to sleep. Thanks for helping connect our mind and heart!"

-- Cathleen Nelson, President, United Healthcare Partners

"emWave Personal Stress Reliever is the greatest tool that HeartMath has ever put out. The Coherence Coach CD is wonderful and the device easy to use. The ear piece is also a helpful addition and the packaging is interesting and well done. Good job!"

-- Michelle Cameron, RN, BSN, Manager, Nursing World Class Service, Cleveland, OH

"The emWave Personal Stress Reliever is great. I have used it before every speech I have done since I got it. Some days are better than others but for the most part it has brought my anxiety level down and made me focus more on the subject than my feelings about the crowd. I gave one of them to my son who has difficulties with tests at school and he gets green before his tests. It has helped him to do better with the tests and from his teachers perspective he seems calmer when he takes them."

-- Scott Rankin, CEO, Vulcan Spring & Mfg. Co.

"Using the emWave Personal Stress Reliever has enabled me to recognize the effects of stress on my body at any given time, which then allows me to use the HeartMath techniques to immediately help relieve this stress position. My recent tournament performances in Germany and Holland were helped by the use of HeartMath emWave can recognize stress levels not otherwise detectable."

-- Ian Woosnam, 2006 European Ryder Cup Captain and 1991 Masters winner

Biofeedback stress reliever review
This device didn't work the first time it was sent and I had to get it replaced (which was done VERY efficiently, I might add). The new device works, but it is complicated to do anything but the basic breathing exercise. Also, I have difficulty getting the ear piece working. However, even the basic breathing exercise has been very helpful. In fact, I am now able to simulate usage of the device while on the golf course (and other times of stress) by breathing and imagining the read-out on the device. It calms me down and is definitely a stress reducer. I just need to take the time now to figure out all the other things I can do with the device. NOTE: It could use better instructions. That could help quite a bit.

EmWave Beats Stress Eraser -- No Contest
I have purchsed (and returned) Stress Eraser. I found it annoying. It prompts you to exhale at a beep. As best I could tell, that's all it does. If this is what you want -- to moduate breathing for enhanced calm -- count to 4 as you breathe in, count to 8 as you breathe out, and -- at the end of the exhalation - hold for two. Count consistently as fast or as slow as you need to. This will produce better results for you than the Stress Eraser (and it's free).

The EmWave is a different technology altogether. It is a biofeedback device, but that is not what makes the technology different. It has an infrared sensor which measures the smoothness of your heart beat (systolic and diastolic). When there is a smooth rhythm, this is called "coherence." When you are in a state of coherence, a huge array of biological benefits kick in. To use the hand-held (a little bigger than a credit card and not as thick as a pack of cards), you use a thumb sensor pad or an earclip.

In an EmWave session, you regulate your breathing and then learn to "breathe through you heart." Once you have done this, you hook onto a positive emotion, and this creates coherence. As you move through differnet levels of coherence, different colored lights are displayed, and different soothing beeps are played.

EmWave is useful for depression, stress, anxiety, pain management, and -- most subtly -- for learning how to choose what you want to feel in the face of any life circumstance. It gets easier and easier to do with time, and more and more gratifying. This is a world-class device, and the training offered by HeartMath is superb. Their books are the best I've read on depression, anxiety, etc. and I have read dozens on both subjects. This is a powerful and deceptively simple aid. Do take the free training; it'll guide you through the bells and whistles. [...]

very multi-functional
I'm a Reiki practitoner who meditates, and also deals with anxiety and depression.

I have so far been able to use this to effectively and successfully control anxiety, stress, and anger at home or when I'm out. Before I work with Reiki, I can make sure I'm in the proper "zone" to get the most out of it. When I meditate, I can make sure I'm in the proper zone there too. It helps me get to sleep faster, and stay there. I know there's more uses; I'm experimenting as much as possible.

I purchased this to help me work through quitting some nasty anti-depressants. I give it two thumbs up for how much it's helped with that, and 2 big toes up for everything else it's helping me with.

It seemed pricey, but not after I calculated the annual cost of meds and doctor visits, and then thought about the lack of side effects associated with this biofeedback method.

Oh, and it's insanely easy to use, especially if you take the time to read the user's manual and work through the 30-minute (free!) online tutorial. If you're still confused, you can join a free teleclass.

So if I need to use it to, say, control an impending panic attack, I can fire it up and use it immediately - no flipping through the manual looking for that set of instructions I thought was "right there, dammit!"

I'm so glad I can finally move on with my life, drug-free.
