HeartMath
HeartMath therapy utilizes a personal electronic monitor, called
the emWave2 Personal Stress Reliever, which helps train your body to relax. You are attached to the system
via a painless ear or finger clip and the device flashes three colors - red, blue and green - which indicates a person's emotional
state. Red indicates a person’s fight or flight instinctual response has been triggered; blue indicates relaxation;
and green indicates a connection with “source” energy that allows the body to maintain wellness.
There is also a more involved computer
system called emWave Desktop.
HearthMath use at home
The
emWave2 Personal Stress Reliever is a prominent tool used in counseling sessions. It is also a powerful self-management tool for clients to use at home. By
using the emWave system with EFT, clients train themselves to notice when they trigger a red response in daily activities, and reflect on what they are thinking,
check their body for tension or other symptoms and tap to return to a blue/green or calm state.
Many of us feel like cars with our cruise control set on
60 miles per hour. We feel driven to get things done, rather making decisions based
on what we feel is best or what we feel guided to do. Many illnesses today are considered stress related, which is just another term for driven. Our hormonal systems take an enormous hit from living like this, producing high levels of the stress
hormone cortisol, which triggers our bodies to store fat. These hormonal imbalances adversely affect our immune systems and
make us susceptible to infection. Those in driven
mode live in a state of red and are not aware of it until they connect to the emWave system.
