Frequently Asked Questions
How does a session begin?
First of all the system needs to measure your breathing pattern. At the start of the session the unit
identifies your breaths per minute and the music, voice and LCD arrow guides will all adjust to begin
at your breathing rate. e.g. if you are breathing at 17 breaths per minute the system will start at 17
breaths per minute.
What happens once the system has identified my breathing pattern?
The guiding voice will ask you to breathe in time with the music. To help you begin the guiding voice
will talk you through your first breaths, when the voice has stopped the breathing indicator on the
LCD screen will show you when to breathe in and out. So there are 2 audio prompts and 1 visual
prompt to assist you.
How does the system take me from my breathing pattern to therapeutic breathing?
The system will reduce its speed by 1 breath per 22 seconds until you reach just less than 10 breaths
per minute (Between 9.5 and 9.9).
What if I don’t follow the reduction of breaths per minute?
The system is intelligent and recognises if you are not following the journey. The guiding voice will
prompt you to follow the tones.
How do I know when I have reached therapeutic breathing?
Once you have managed to reach therapeutic breathing the voice will tell you and a segmented square
(therapeutic zone counter) will appear on the LCD screen.
