If anyone thinks that buying something like a personal biofeedback device will allow them to short-circuit all the training in mind-control and meditation, they are in for a let-down. This device is nice enough, though the lack of an LCD read out and the necessity of deciphering all the weird colored markings is something only a Klingon could understand! For $180, I think this is a very disappointing device. Plus, the 5 difficulty levels are a joke. I “mastered” levels 1 and 2 in the first sitting, if the green color is to be trusted. The higher levels didn’t take very long to “master” either so where’s the challenge? Maybe if I spent a lot of time with it, I might get something out of it. But so far I am very underwhelmed.

It says right on the box that it is for “FUN” only that it is NOT a medical device. No science behind this. Tried it, no results. Then I tried the Stresseraser with great results. The Stresseraser is FDA approved. The emWave is not FDA approved and it has no clinical testing that shows it does any good. The Resperate is even better than this toy. Do not waste your money on something that doesn’t work. Get the Stresseraser of Resperate instead.

Having had some experience with professional biofeedback, I found the emWave to be nothing more than synchronizing my breathing to the lights. It did make me breathe deeper and slower but sometimes I tensed up just trying to make my inhalation/exhalation last as long as the light. I sent it back.

It said that there was a special discount on the item, which when clicking on said if you spent more than $100 on qualifying purchases I would receive free shipping but then when I entered the promotional code, it said no promotion was available so I ended up paying over $12 for shipping. It wouldn’t have been as bad if they didn’t tell me that I was going to get free shipping.

From the Box “This is not a medical device. ” I found no difference after using it. The only thing it relieved was my money.
