Customer Reviews of emWave Mac Stress Relief System

Customer Review: helpful coach for stress relief...
Summary: 4 Stars

Like most of us, I get stressed out, and was looking for an easy to use technology that would help me be more relaxed. So I found the new EmWave Mac Stress Relief System that is simple to use, and teaches you as you use it with it's 'coaching' software that you install on your Mac or PC. The idea is to learn to breathe and use your emotions in a positive way by changing your heart rhythm patterns and creating physiological coherence or harmony in your body, that enhances your daily life. That intrigued me, and it works! Doc Childre, who created EmWave for Mac found that heart rhythms reflect coherence levels, that one could optimize these psychological states with work. Like athletes who get in the Zone, this approach teaches us to get into our Zone. This technology goes beyond just monitoring one's heart rate, it measures beat to beat changes, displaying the patterns, called heart rate variability, or HRV. and this leads to coherence, and the active display shows how you're doing, I found helpful.

HeartMath is the company that developed it. They work with Fortune 100 companies to individuals to improve health, regulate emotional responses( they make weight management software for example). I found their support excellent, be it to understand the product or get coaching to maximizing my results.

The EmWave for Mac comes with

software CD
USB pulse sensor that attaches to your ear
owner's manual, tech support is toll free over the phone or via email.
free webinar given weekly to learn more about it
one year warranty, and lifetime support

How it works is interesting, and I saw quick improvement. I loaded the software on my iMac, and then plugged in the USB pulse monitor to the Mac, and clipped it onto my ear. I started a 'session' and started seeing my pulse rate display, it wasn't relaxed at all. I launched the Help window, and saw a huge amount of resources available, from learning to use product to the science of coherence. I started breathing differently and immediately saw the positive difference. I tried the coherence coach which shows you how to increase your performance. It uses a visual approach so you can watch the changes in your approach and know you're getting results. Gradually I've improved, and see it in my daily life. I recommend EmWave for Mac, really helpful for living a more relaxed, less stressful life. And we all want/need that!
