The following information offers suggestions of how and when to use emWave Personal Stress Reliever.

Stress Relief
emWave helps you balance your mental, emotional and physical systems. Without this balance, feelings of anxiety and worry block the connection between what you really know and what you can do. Using your emWave before important conversations, meetings, public speaking, and potentially challenging situations increases your creative process and the likelihood of positive outcomes.

Recovering from the Effects of Stress
Use emWave with Quick Coherence to recover physical energy you have drained from stress and to build back your energy reserves. You can also use emWave to rest the mind and body from emotional concerns and recoup the energy lost from emotional drain. Additionally, the body needs recovery time between periods of intense mental focus. Using emWave can help you recover form the effects of stress more quickly.

To Start Your Day – Have a 3-5 minute session with emWave in the morning to help reset your system, bringing your mind, emotions and body into coherence so you are ready to have a productive and healthy day. Before Sleep – Many people have difficulty falling asleep or awaken in the middle of the night due to unresolved worries and feelings of pressure. Use emWave for a few minutes just before bed to calm your racing mind or emotional stress to help set the tone for a better night's sleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night, doing another emWave session can help you go back to sleep.

Before Conversations, Meetings or Presentations – Meetings and presentations can be intimidating and high stress for many people. Have a 1-2 minute session with emWave before important presentations or meetings to harness creative energy, focus your thoughts, and calm your emotions.

Before Meditation, Prayer or your Preferred Spiritual Practice – The time people spend in any spiritual practice is a special time. Being as balanced, calm and coherent as possible will only enhance the experience. Using emWave can provide a reliable way to prepare you for these special times.

Before a Test or Exam – Feelings of anxiety and nervousness before tests are huge issues with many students. These stressful emotions have been shown to shut down important cognitive abilities, limiting academic performance. Having a 3-5 minute session with emWave can reduce the stress and anxiety associated with taking tests, giving you a better chance to do your best.

To Improve Athletic Performance – Increasing your coherence can have a dynamic effect on athletic performance. Practicing with emWave is a great way to train your system to get in “the zone” while playing your favorite sport. In some sports it can even be used between activities. For instance, using emWave between shots when playing golf can improve your game. Make it a part of your pre- and post-shot routines to sharpen your emotional, mental and physical skills.

To Reduce Anxiety, Worry and Overload – Many events are beyond our control and the anxiety associated with them can tend to be overwhelming. When you feel anxious, worried or just overloaded, have a session with emWave using the Quick Coherence technique to help balance your emotions and reduce stressful feelings.

To Enhance Creativity – Stress often blocks creativity. When you are involved in a creative task or need some mental clarity, take a short break to start up emWave, increase your coherence level and open yourself to new creative potential.

To Unwind – Unwinding from a high impact day or a stressful situation can be difficult. However, the mental, emotional and physical benefits can be dramatic. Spend a little time with emWave to increase your coherence level when you want to calm down, recharge your system and get back on track.

Dealing with a Health Challenge – Experiencing an illness, injury or disease can, of course, be quite stressful and challenging. Becoming excessively stressed about the situation only makes things worse. We recommend using emWave regularly, especially when you are sick or faced with a health challenge, to help reduce the negative effects of stress.

While Traveling – The stress that comes from traveling for business or pleasure can take its toll on the body and mind. Having short emWave sessions at various times during your trip, such as before or during a flight, in your hotel before going to sleep or while in heavy traffic, can help you stay more balanced and resilient.

Taking a Break – Throughout the day stress can accumulate, compromising your performance and quality of life. Taking just a few minutes during the day to stop and use emWave can help you shake off the effects of accumulated stress and give you a boost of energy.

Fostering Sincere Communication – There are times when you need to share important information with others. Listening and communicating sensitively clearly are essential. Using emWave to become coherent can enhance your communication skills to facilitate mutual understanding and coherent communication.

Creating Work/Life Balance – It's often difficult to leave the work at the office and shift into quality time with your family or friends. emWave can help with this transition. Use it for a few minutes at the end of the work day or just before you arrive home to reconnect with yourself and let go of your stress. This always makes it easier to connect with others.

Committing to Changes You Want to Make – Coherence helps you stabilize your emotions to make the changes you want. It aligns your emotions with your heart and mind intent, so that your actions are more genuine and effective. It's coherent emotion that powers up your sincere intention.

Often, people understand the importance of intent, yet when their emotions are not aligned, the power dwindles to sustain their commitment. The emotions are preoccupied, so they aren't in sync or fully aligned. For example, if your emotions are brooding over a family problem while you're trying to build a positive intention for an important meeting or for a better golf game, then your emotional balance and power is waning and diffused. This leaves less creative energy to achieve your desired intent.

Daily coherence training with the emWave helps you build the self-commitment to lifestyle changes you know you need to make. It helps you stabilize if your commitment starts to waver and you feel yourself slipping. emWave will help you boost your heart power for more action and follow through.
