Protocol

• 10 minutes resting (pre-Shiftwave)

• 15 minute Shiftwave “journey”

• 10 minute  resting (post-Shiftwave)

Results

• 41% reduction in stress 

• 28% reduction in anxiety 

• 22% increase in mindful focus

• 43% increase in relaxation

• Significant reduction in multiple self-reported measures of stress and anxiety

• Significant enhancement of self-reported focus and relaxation

• Physiologically, increased parasympathetic output 

• Decreased sympathetic tone

• Brain imaging using fNIRS indicates Shiftwave induces more left prefrontal cortex, a pattern associated positive emotion, down-regulation of negative emotion, and memory encoding.

“I have found statistically significant improvements in relaxation, focus, and mindfulness, significant reduction in anxiety, decreased flight-or-fight response and significantly reduced emotional, physical, and cognitive stress. The size of these effects exceeds that of regular pharmacological interventions in psychiatry, and this is achieved after a single 15-minute session.”
