Regulate Your Mind, Body and Spirit
Watch your heart rhythms in real time, see how emotions affect them and discover which emotions you can activate to effectively manage stress and boost vitality. HeartMath’s 16 years of research has shown emotions are reflected in our heart-rhythm patterns. Learn how to intentionally shift to a positive emotional state and see how shifts in your heart rhythms create physiological responses. Stress will diminish and feelings of well-being and energy will increase. The emWave Stress Relief system is a software and hardware program that collects pulse data through a fingertip or ear sensor, plugs into your computer and translates the information from your heart rhythms into user-friendly graphics displayed on your monitor. Track your progress, play interactive games, experience the Coherence Coach™ and Emotion Visualizer™. Take control of and revitalize your life.
How it works
The 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 a noninvasive measurement that reflects heart-brain interaction and autonomic nervous-system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in your emotional state.
emWave does much more than show the effects of stress on your body.
It reduces stress by training you to create more “coherence.” Scientists use the term coherence to describe a highly efficient physiological state in which the nervous, 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.”
Heart Rhythms and Coherence
When you experience stressful emotions such as tension, anxiety, irritation, or anger, your heart-rhythm pattern becomes irregular and incoherent, negatively affecting your health, brain function, performance and sense of well-being. When you experience positive emotions such as appreciation, care, joy and love, your heart-rhythm pattern is more ordered and coherent.
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 and improve brain cognitive function, hormonal balance, immune response, coordination and reaction times and your overall sense of well-being.
