emWave Technology
The heart is a primary generator
of rhythmic patterns in the human body which possesses a far more extensive
communication system with the brain than do other major organs and is uniquely
positioned as a powerful entry point into the communication network that
connects body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Over the years experiments with different psychological and physiological measures have been trying to determine how anxiety, stress and different emotional states affect the autonomic nervous system, the hormonal and immune systems, the heart and brain of our human bodies.
It was consistently heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rhythms that stood out as the most dynamic and reflective of inner emotional states and stress. It became clear that negative emotions lead to increased disorder in the heart's rhythms and in the autonomic nervous system, thereby adversely affecting the rest of the body.
Today the emWave technology, based on over a decade of scientific research, can teach you to increase internal awareness and transform stress into creative energy.
The emWave is based on hard science and incorporates patented HRV measurement and coherence scoring process and is HeartMath's award winning PC based product that is being used by ten's of thousands of people in over 50 countries.
A portable version of the emWave PC, also known as the emWave Portable Stress Reliever has been designed for your convenience so that stress relief can occur anytime, anywhere.
The emWave PC developed at the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, California is software that monitors Heart Rate Variability (HRV) patterns allowing the user to follow in real-time this important indicator of the emotional state.
Techniques offered by the emWave program produce optimal physiological and psychological shifts, also facilitating shifts of perception that greatly enhance the ability to bring healthy emotional self-management into an attainable reality.
The user can see the immediate impact of use of the program. The emWavePC software is available for professionals for use with clients and for resale through the professional provider to clients for at home skill development.
Why the emWave PC works…
The main limitation of most stress-reduction approaches now in use is that
while helpful, they do not target the real source of people's stress. While
situations, encounters or events may seem intrinsically "stressful,"
it is how an individual perceives and reacts to an event that determines
whether or not the stress response is activated.
Long term solutions to stress need to involve the hormonal system
which is profoundly affected by emotions. What we feel affects how we respond
faster than what we think.
The emWave technology and HeartMath tools and techniques have a direct impact on the ability to shift perception, enabling individuals to transform their perceptions and reactions to potentially "stressful" situations in the moment they occur. . By learning to intervene as stress occurs, you keep your body’s youthful hormone levels high and stressful, aging hormone levels low.
The analysis of HRV or heart rhythms is recognised as a powerful, non-invasive measure which reflects heart-brain interactions. It is most intriguing to observe the dramatic changes that occur when people use techniques that increase coherence in the heart’s rhythmic patterns. These include shifts in perception and the ability to reduce stress and anxiety, while improving learning and performance.

The emWave Personal Stress
Reliever (PSR) provides a handheld, version of the personal computer emWave
PC technology.
It is a convenient and affordable 2.2 gram mobile lifestyle tool and uses the PC version's same patented technology.
The emWave PSR reads your heart rhythms through its built-in finger sensor and gives immediate feedback, reflecting your emotional state through changing coloured lights and sounds (LED's).
It includes a hands free option (ear sensor) for your convenience and an animated instructional CD-Rom that guides you through the Quick Coherence technique.
Benefit from this portable version by building a stress strategy for a couple of minutes during your day. This will help clear the static build up from accumulated stress that we otherwise carry around. Next time you encounter a stress situation you’re more energized and prepared to handle it.
