Through colorful LEDs you see your coherence level increase as you transform your stress and gain greater control over your emotions, mind, and body.

The Coherence Coach is an entertaining visual and audio program to learn and practice the Quick Coherence technique and improve your coherence scores.

Weighing just 2.2 ounces, the portable, sleek design of the emWave Personal Stress Reliever makes it easy to take and use whenever you need it.

The device is used by professionals to improve their golf games and other sports activities.

The emWave Experience, a free online interactive course takes approximately 30 minutes and is designed to enhance your emWave experience.
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.

emWave Personal Stress Reliever provides a handheld, portable and convenient way to reduce stress, balance emotions and increase performance anytime, anywhere. It is especially useful when preparing for highly stressful meetings, for improving sleep, to improve athletic performance, to overcome the effects of stress associated with health issues, or to recover quickly from stressful situations.

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

3 out of 5 stars Not bad but waaay overpriced for such a simple concept   September 26, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this comment useful.

This gadget is not magic or "algorithmic". It's actually quite simple.. it checks your pulse and gives you red..green score based on this. It helps you to slow down your pulse using the breathing indicator light. It does NOT actually test your breathing.

Controlling breathing to reduce stress is a very simple but good concept that is used in meditation, yoga, tai chi, etc... They did a nice job of making the gadget intuitive but they also apparently made it seem like there's more to the technique than there is (which I guess gives them the idea that they should charge $200 for it). Really I'd say it's worth about $50.

Also, this is very focused on reducing stress/anxiety which will cause your pulse to rise. Don't get the idea that it will always make you feel good, it's easy to maintain a low pulse when you are feeling low/depressed.

Works as advertised. I also ordered the book . . . very interesting and certainly has the potential to bring the reader and emWave user to a higher level of awareness.


1 out of 5 stars Not a Medical Device   July 24, 2008

From the Box "This is not a medical device." I found no difference after using it. The only thing it relieved was my money.

Works as advertised. I use it to help meditation and reduce stress. Easy to use and compact. Strongly recommend it for stress reduction and studies are good for blood pressure control.


5 out of 5 stars Algorithmic mind clearing apparatus   July 8, 2008
 15 out of 15 found this comment useful.

There's a lot of hype about these products. This one works. Here's a simple definition of what this and the (much) more expensive 'stresseraser' do:
They detect your heartbeat.
Specifically, they measure the beat-to-beat timing, and show you how this (ideally) increases and decreases as you breathe in and out.
If you're angry or stressed or winded, your heart's just going to pump madly away and ignore the available oxygen in your lungs. If you can clear your mind, let go, and just breathe, you can get your heart working in synch with your lungs. It'll pump a little faster when there's more air available, a bit slower when there isn't. You can try this on your own. The product helps you learn to feel that and detect it. Within a month or two you'll just have this trained as a reflex and you'll be able to do it on your own, and know when you're doing it right.
Once you've got it 'tuned' you can do fun things like imagine irritating coworkers and watch your bpm go up, and see what sorts of relaxy things make it go back down.
Little details: the ear clip is _very_ comfortable, surprisingly so.
The thing's _very_ light, easy to hold.
The way the LED red/blue/green feedback readout fades slowly between colors is FANTASTIC - it avoids making you heart rate spike when you're doing it wrong.
