I'm looking to control my reactions in real life situations, have you found it helps in this practical way? I know how to relax when NOT stressed.

though I have read other's reviews, saying that it is helpful.....no. Matter of fact, I found it to be a very irritating noise....Was able to lower my stress level quickly, thus shutting off the noise emitter. I either set it too low, so the signal disappeared immediately, or the noise made my stress level higher. Perhaps someone else can be more helpful?I guess we both look at it differently, Shrinker. I accept plenty of 'stuff' in life, but this kind of 'fingernails on blackboard noise' is no where near the gateway to calmness. I recommend that folks look towards saving their $$$ and just start practicing plain ol' meditation. though I have read other's reviews, saying that it is helpful.....no.

Stress is part of reality. DIStress is the unpleasant response you make to it. If the reality stressor is something you cannot change, you must use acceptance as described on pp. 417-420 of the book "Alcoholics Anonymous". Acceptance is the gateway to calmness

With horses, control the head, control the horse. It's great to use, you would have to give it a try. It better enables you to redirect attention & have control. I would think that's its possible to change behavior, with time. But an instant change will not be achieved by the gentle leader alone. It will aid you to work on a behavior change. I have a large dog, rescue, & I use a harness/dbl handle lead with the g leader/lead, for positive control. So far, she's sweet & laid back, but I want the security factor.

You have to use your legs to hold yourself in position (per the picture), and in-terms of relaxing that's up to the user I guess, I find it more therapeutic (traction) for the back than a relaxation position. Use at your own risk but this is my experience... I received lessons on how to use before attempting anything on it.

Hello Jennifer. Yes it helped me allot. I use it all day every day. But only in stages. I don't use it all @ once.

Definitely. I have not had a relaxer since February. It straightens my hair just fine.

I think you will find the answer by Wayne Comer the same as mine would be....I have found it to be useful to me..I feel better and have more energy

Everything we do is psychosomatic because the mind is the director of the physical level. We are never free of effects of mind. Just use it positively. I have an earthing mat and I love it. It helps counter the EMFs given off by all the electronic devices in my life. Maybe those effects are psychosomatic too but they are real enough in my experience and cause fatigue headaches and blurred vision - oh and headaches and disturbed sleep too. So I am grateful for the mat. It has helped a lot with those issues. I do feel much better using it and if it is the power of my mind doing it then all the better!

Hi Ice Girl. Yes indeed. You also get a coherence coach on your PC/Mac, which is very efficient. In my opinion, the emWave2 is far better than the stress eraser, because you also get the emotional shift - which will help you build resilience. New feature is the "Heart Cloud" where you can monitor all your results. I absolutely love mine!

I thought the same however after you give it a try, it becomes easier although I haven't increased the tension yet since I don't want to strain myself. I've wondered if anyone HAS increased it, because it is much more difficult with small increases.

Hmmmm. I wonder what they could have changed - I haven't had to do anything except be quite vigorous with my shaking. Sorry to hear that you're having such problems and I hope you manage to resolve them. I really like mine.

Yes, both my husband and I use their mats. I've slept on them, sat on them (the desk job does not do wonders for circulation, but the mat helps improve that), and stood on them. I feel great afterward, and anytime I notice I'm extra tense, I take a 20 minute time-out to rest on it. So in short, helps with circulation, helps with stress/tension, and has also granted a more restful sleep!

I got this for my teenager who, at times, gets very stressed/worried/anxious. She feels that it helps. Placebo effect? Maybe, but I'm happy she gets some relief w/o prescription drugs. We also use the Pet version for dog anxiety from car rides (one dog) & thunderstorms (the other). Seems to help them too.

I would certainly try it and see how it goes. I have used it for all sorts of anxiety provoking things with my pets like even going to the vet.

No, sorry I have only used the Real-Ease neck & shoulder Relaxer. It works very well for me.

Well, I'll put it this way: I call it my "don't give a s*** pill." It definitely takes the edge off of troubling thoughts that used to keep me up at night, but I can take it during the day too when I start with obsessive bad thoughts. It takes effect in about 20 minutes for me.

Hard to explain but I found it worked best when I thought of being very still and calm. You have to experiment.

For me yes. I live in an apartment building and it helps drown out the sound from the people living above us. I've also found it helps me with anxiety. I put it on and I'm more easily able to do some meditation/mental imagery work that helps me fall asleep.
