MEDITATION & BREATHING
Research has shown that active breathing can calm the nervous system thereby reducing your heart rate and activating the parasympathetic (calming) nervous system to improve memory, positively impact emotional behaviors to help cope with stress and anxiety, and make it easier to fall asleep.
BREATHING GUIDE
4-7-8 breathing meditation features a soothing voiced guide that fades and synchronizes with pulsing lighting effects to control your breath, lower your heart rate, and soothe the body and mind.
- 4 sec Breathe in through your nose, filling the belly.
- 7 sec Hold breath.
- 8 sec
- Slowly exhale through your mouth. Repeat.
CALMING BREATHING
Frequencies mimicking the delta brainwaves along with a calming breathing sound effect can help coax our minds into a deep meditative state. This is a great alternative and easier exercise to the 4-7-8 method.
- 5 sec Breathe in slowly through your nose.
- 5 sec Exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat.
TIMER MODE
The programmable timer mode lets you set sound therapy to play for a set duration. The sound levels will gradually decrease over the last 15 minutes (fade begins right away if the timer is set to 10 minutes or less) until the unit shuts off. Press and release the Timer Button as needed to cycle to the desired timer duration: 90, 60, 30, 20, 10, 5, 2 minutes, or OFF.
