Welcome to Valsalva Wave Pro 1.0: Valsalva Wave Pro is the new instrument by COHERENCE. Valsalva Wave Pro allows us to monitor and train a fundamentally new biometric, the "Valsalva Wave", a breathing induced blood wave that occurs with each cycle of respiration when we breathe "coherently". Valsalva Wave Pro also allows monitoring and training of the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Cycle and the Pulse Wave.
Valsalva Wave Pro is offered with a finger sensor and an ear sensor. Each has its advantages. The finger sensor is sturdier and is able to be applied to various parts of the body. The ear sensor is a little less sturdy and is only suited for applying to the ear. Monitoring at the ear tends to be more "real time" than monitoring at the finger tip. This is because the ear is a shorter distance from the chest and the blood vessels are larger.
To order, choose the type of sensor you would like to have.
Sensors are also available individually.

About Coherent Breathing
The average adult breathes at 15 breaths per minute or 1 cycle every 4 seconds. COHERENCE(TM) asserts that this relatively rapid breathing frequency, while at rest, results in autonomic nervous system imbalance, specifically “over-activation” of the sympathetic (fight or flight) branch and “under-activation” of the parasympathetic (calm and relaxation) branch. There is an emerging understanding in the medical community that "sympathetic dominance" underlies many modern day maladies including anxiety and hypertension. Click here for a comprehensive discussion of the The Science behind the products.
The Breathing Pacemaker(TM) is a simple audio device that presents you with an ~12 second interval to which you consciously synchronize your breathing. The basic 12 second interval is divided into two 6 second sub-intervals for the purpose of synchronizing both inhalation and exhalation. This is explained further in the detailed instructions provided with the purchase of each product.
Different audio recordings employ various instruments and sounds to indicate when to change from inhalation to exhalation, or visa versa. Sound is also utilized to indicate the progression of the breathing interval so you have a clear understanding of how the interval is progressing in time. This is important because we are interested in breathing at a rate that is as close as possible to the optimal frequency, this being 1 complete cycle in 11.76 seconds.
Certain pacemaker products also clearly distinguish between inhalation and exhalation phases such that 2 or more people can synchronize their breathing rhythms to the same pacemaker reference. When used in this fashion, the Fundamental Quiescent Rhythms of 2 or more people literally synchronize with each other. Because the Fundamental Quiescent Rhythm is a basic human electrical rhythm, this results in the synchronizing of electromagnetic fields. A physical analogy of this is 2 or more strings vibrating at exactly the same frequency and phase.
Psychoacoustic characteristics of the sounds (other than rhythm), are not important to pacemaker functioning.
Initial products are offered in digital audio compact disk (CD), MP3, and Flash format. Except where noted, all recordings start and end such that they can be looped with minimal break in audio.
