Brain Fitness Hawaii offers HRV Heartmath Biofeedback

Brain Fitness Hawaii offers fascinating new protocols to address anxiety and sleep. We apply Heart-Math Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback training to address anxiety insomnia. The following fascinating stories shares a Father and Son's journey to use HRV Biofeedback as an alternative natural sleep therapy for anxiety: 

Peter shares his story about his father  below. Being extremely concerned for his father’s well-being, he  insisted his father give HeartMath® a try.

“My father began having terrible bouts with  insomnia. He would sleep 1-2 hours a night, sometimes not at all, and it  became evident that he was in a cycle that I had once been in — a cycle  of stress leading to insomnia leading to depression leading to more  stress, and of course more insomnia.

When my father came to me with his insomnia problem he had already  developed high blood pressure from the stress and was taking medication  for it. The doctors had given him a leading prescription sleep sedative  and a host of other unsavory prescription drugs to help him get to  sleep. At one point he was taking more than one sedative a night and  still not sleeping.

My family and I became tremendously worried, my father was 67 years  old, and his health was waning rapidly. His blood pressure issue was  only getting worse. He became disillusioned with the treatment options  he was being given, but I implored him one night and showed him the HeartMath diagram that outlines stress and explains how coherence training works.

He purchased an emWave that night and began his HRV training. Two  weeks later, he had reduced the amount of sedatives he was taking back  down to one a night. Two months later, he was cutting them in half.  I visited him earlier this week and I’m happy to say his blood pressure  has normalized, and he’s completely independent of this sedative and  working with his health professional has been able to stop all the other  prescriptions he had been taking.

The only variable that had changed was the emWave. I’d like to give  my warmest thanks to HeartMath for this. Your work gave my father back  his life, and has made me a better person.

I try to tell people about HRV training with the emWave whenever I  can because it has had such a profound impact on my life and the lives  of my family members. I feel as though this technology could literally  reshape the world if more people knew about it.”
