emWave Your Way to Peace and Performance

Finally plugged in the emWave machine and gave it a whirl. Since this was my first time I am using it, I wanted to see how long it would take to set up. I love a product you can get rolling with in just a few minutes and the emWave offers this with a fast read of the quick start guide. I attachied the sensor to my ear (like a clip on earing) - or I could have put my thumb on the sensor, and off I went.

Blue blinking light on the left says it is reading my heart rate (good I am alive), and moving blue lights across the top (reminded me of ocean waves) gave me an indicator of how to pace my breathing.

Hey - there is a red light on the right which said I was "normal" - which is apparently low coherence. I am guessing that means most people are just a little stressed. I didn't feel that stressed, however given what happened this week (one of the most stressful of my life ... tell you later) I should be.

So I read the sheet and it says breath with the blue moving lights and start thinking about something that makes you feel good, a positive memory of someone you love or an event that made you really happy. I thought of my son's birth and all of a sudden the red light starts turning blue. Yippeee! It really works. I haven't gotten to green yet - which is optimal coherence, but I have only been doing it a few minutes now and typing this.

I really could have used the emWave in the emergency room on Wednesday just before I fainted from all the pain. I wonder if it would have helped me control the pain and prevented the black out. I will have to ask the emWave folks that.

Give it a whirl yourself and pick one up at www.emwave.com for $179. Once you start mastering your coherence levels and start living in the "green" it will more that pay for itself with improved performance.
