We all experience various states of consciousness such as ordinary waking awareness, sleep, and dreaming. Occasionally we experience extraordinary states in which we are more at peace, particularly alert and aware, or unusually creative. Each state has a unique pattern of brainwaves that can be measured and mapped. Brainwave Suite uses inaudible pulses of sound based on these brainwave patterns. Embedded within lush ambient music, these pulses trigger your brain to produce the state you want to experience.

CD1 Alpha Relaxation & Meditation ALPHA waves combined with classical guitar, bamboo flutes, and sounds of birds and gentle breezes free your mind to experience states of relaxation and meditation. Use this program in the background for stress reduction and relaxation, or listen more intently to support any meditation practice.

CD2 Theta Insight & Intuition THETA waves floating amid orchestral strings, deep resonant tones of Tibetan bells, and the patter of raindrops promote vivid mental imagery, emotional insight, and expansive creativity. Use this program to enhance creative problem solving, and to connect with your intuition and artistic expression.

CD3 Delta Sleep & Rejuvenation DELTA waves embedded within soothing ocean sounds and tones of Tibetan bowls relax you and lead you to restful sleep. To fall asleep, simply allow the music to guide your brainwaves into rejuvenating delta sleep. To stay asleep, set the recording to play all night long.

CD4 Alpha / Theta Awakened Mind Combined ALPHA/THETA waves (the "awakened mind pattern") with sounds of flowing streams, rainfall, and distant thunder lead you to the state of clarity and awareness of advanced yogis and experienced meditators. This program supports meditation practice, sharpens mental performance, and promotes inner peace.

This easy-to-use program is designed to prevent, manage and reverse the negative effects of stress, and to enable users to operate their mind-body-heart as a unified system, achieving new levels of health and well-being. emWave PC incorporates over 15 years of scientific research on the interactions taking place between the heart and brain. It was developed by Doc Childre and the team of scientists at the Institute of HeartMath. emWave PC monitors your heart rhythms, displays them in real-time and determines their level of coherence--a mental and emotional state people experience when they are in-sync physically, emotionally and mentally. emWave PC displays your level of heart rhythm coherence and you learn to increase it, reducing emotional stress and improving cognitive function.

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

Testimonials
"For over 30 years I experienced several life threatening chronic illnesses--kidney disease, blood disease, heart disease, kidney transplant, 2 strokes and Stage 4 B-Cell Lymphoma. In the fall of 1997, I was led to The Institute of HeartMath. I discovered that all of my illnesses were due to stress and anxiety I had been experiencing in my life. Through learning and practicing HeartMath’s tools and technologies, I am able to prevent, manage and reverse the effects of stress, be more in-the-moment, and achieve excellent health, more energy, improved mental and emotional clarity, and improved performance and relationships. HeartMath’s tools and technologies literally saved my life."

--John Bishop

"After using my emWave PC for a week, I was given the daunting task of developing a decision tree for our hospital ethics committee. I avoided it as long as I could because it was so complicated. Then I decided to use my emwave PC and get myself in the green zone first. I was shocked at how quickly and clearly the decision tree ideas went onto the paper. I had it totally outlined in less than 30 minutes. The members of the committee said it contained everything they could imagine and was easy to follow."

--Claire Call MS BSN RN, Heart Failure Coordinator, Prairie Heart Institute at St. John's Hospital

--Jon McIntosh, Guidance for Healing

It's beautiful software and a really great system, all of it. As I wrote in a recent review, emWave PC 'is the gold standard of HRV biofeedback systems'"

--Marshall F. Gilula, M.D.

"Using HeartMath techniques and the [emWave PC] system are so effective because you can get immediate feedback on your internal state. Having real-time physiological feedback with the [emWave PC] takes the guesswork out of whether I’m in the right frame of mind and attitude and gives me something to hang onto--a concrete, internal reference point instead of just guessing or intuition."

--Marlo Stil, Professional Golfer
