emWave PC Stress Relief System

emWave PC Stress Relief System (formerly known as Freeze-Framer®)

The emWave PC Stress Relief System with Patented Heart Rhythm Monitor will help you transform stress and anxiety into vibrant energy. Much more than a heart monitor this revolutionary technology guides you on how to achieve higher, more creative energy levels, less stress, and optimal health.

In today’s world, it’s important for people to learn stress reduction and emotional management skills. With the emWave PC Stress Relief System you can take an active role in preventing stress, managing the emotions associated with stress and create better health.

HeartMath has revolutionized stress reduction by developing a proprietary, scientific process and award-winning technology that:

Helps you achieve “coherence,” a highly efficient psychological state where all the systems of the body are working together in harmony—leading to a feeling of well-being and control.

Improves your heart rhythm patterns which trigger a variety of positive outcomes in the mind and body, creating feelings of balance and empowerment allowing you to experience greater health and more energy.

Increases your heart rhythm coherence that drives synchronization of your body and brain.

Gives you tools to manage your emotions and thoughts and follow through on changes you are inspired to make.

Leads you to reduced stress, improved mental function, better memory, clearer decision-making, better relationship communications, and improved physical health.



How the emWave PC System Can Help

You can use the emWave PC technology to help you learn internal awareness, self-regulation and emotional management skills. You can learn to prevent stress by becoming aware of when the stress response starts and stopping it in the moment.

The emWave PC technology is an easy-to-use software program with a heart rhythm monitor. The system is an innovative approach to stress relief based on learning to change the heart rhythm pattern and create physiological coherence in the body.

With this program you can see how your thoughts and emotions affect your heart and nervous system through the user friendly graphics displayed on your computer monitor. When stressed, your heart rhythms have an irregular, jagged incoherent pattern. When you shift to a more positive emotional state, the heart rhythm pattern changes to a smoother, wave-like coherent pattern. By seeing the visual change on the screen and associating it with a more peaceful, calm internal state, you learn to manage stress and maintain a state of physiological coherence and balance.

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. The emWave PC system determines the degree of coherence found in your heart rhythm patterns and displays changes in real-time.

The goal in using the emWave PC system is to reduce stress by achieving and sustaining High Coherence. The Coherence Coach™ provides instruction on how to do the Quick Coherence™ Technique to improve your coherence scores with emWave PC.

As you practice the Quick Coherence Technique, 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 and heart rhythm patterns will begin to change on the screen.

The emWave PC system offers four challenge levels to help you sharpen your coherence building skills. Additionally, it incorporates an accumulated coherence scoring display so you can track your progress during a session and save and review your sessions over time.

HeartMath research by Doc Childre has shown that emotions are reflected in our heart rhythm patterns. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, 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 the emotional state.

emWave PC is a software and hardware program which collects pulse data through a finger or ear sensor which plugs into your computer. The program translates the information from your heart rhythms into user friendly graphics displayed on your computer screen.

Watch your heart rhythms in real time.

See how emotions affect your heart rhythms.

Discover which emotions you can activate to more effectively manage stress and boost vitality.

With emWave PC, you learn to build a buffer against stress by accessing a high performance state called "coherence." Coherence is a mental and emotional state that people experience when they are "in-sync" or in the "zone"--when the heart, brain and nervous system are working in harmony. Simply stated, more coherence equals more energy and less wear and tear from stress.

Glossary of Terms

Cardiac Coherence--A mode of cardiac function in which the heart?s rhythmic and electrical output is highly ordered. HeartMath research has shown that the positive emotions such as love, care, and appreciation increase coherence in the heart?s rhythmic beating patterns. During states of cardiac coherence, brain wave patterns have been shown to entrain with heart rate variability patterns; in addition, nervous system balance and immune function are enhanced. Overall, the body functions with increased harmony and efficiency.

Coherence--Logical connectedness, internal order, or harmony among the components of a system. This term can also refer to the tendency toward increased order in the informational content of a system or in the information flow between systems. In physics, two or more waveforms that are phase-locked together (so that their energy is constructive) are described as coherent. Coherence can also be attributed to a single waveform, in which case it denotes an ordered or constructive distribution of power content. Recently, there has been a growing scientific interest in coherence in living systems. When a system is coherent, virtually no energy is wasted, because of the internal synchronization among the parts. In organizations, increased coherence enables the emergence of new levels of creativity, cooperation, productivity, and quality at all levels.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)--The normally occurring beat-to-beat changes in heart rate. Analysis of HRV is an important tool used to assess the function and balance of the autonomic nervous system. HRV is considered a key indicator of aging, cardiac health, and overall well-being.

Stress--Pressure, strain, or a sense of inner turmoil resulting from our perception and reactions to events or conditions. A state of negative emotional arousal, usually associated with feelings of discomfort or anxiety that we attribute to our circumstances or situation.
