Freeze-Framer^TM 2.0 Interactive Learning System with Patented Heart Rhythm Monitor
More than a decade of research on the remarkable relationship between the heart, health and performance went into creating the Freeze-Framer^TM, a complete interactive learning system that helps you balance emotion, body and mind. The Freeze-Framer^TM teaches you the science behind emotional impact on well-being, and give you specific, scientifically proven techniques for bringing yourself into balance, even under the most stressful conditions. Regular use of the Freeze-Framer^TM gives you the practical tools - and the reinforcement - you need to stay in the coveted "zone" of peak performance.

The Freeze-Framer^TM will help you create:

• Better Personal Health - Control the effects of stress and anxiety, boost the immune system, improve physiological and psychological well-being.

• Better Performance At Work - Stop stress at work, improve mental clarity and decision-making even under stressful conditions, boost performance, improve work/life balance. For individuals as well as organizations.

• Improved Learning - Improve academic performance and test scores - improve home and classroom behaviors, help with ADD/ADHD problems. Suitable for ages 7 and older.

• Better Sports Performance - Get into "The Zone" for on-demand "personal best" performance.

• Better Personal Relationships - Enhance communication, create more satisfying relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.

Watch Your Results in Real Time

The Freeze-Framer^TM monitors your heart rhythms, interprets the data and displays your overall coherence level in real time. Leading-edge science shows that stress causes heart rhythms to become asynchronous, resulting in autonomic dysfunction - which means the brain's ability to function becomes impaired, and we make poor decision under pressure that waste time and money. When the heart rhythm is coherent , the autonomic nervous system becomes balanced which enhances emotional balance, mental clarity, physical well-being and the ability to enjoy life.

Accelerate Your Progress with Fun Games

 Freeze-Framer^TM 's three colorful and engaging games are designed to pleasurably support you in learning and practicing the techniques. You can play different "heart" games like flying a hot air balloon over the countryside or turning a black and white field into a lush, colorful forest complete with a waterfall, rainbow and forest animals. The data from the games may be saved for analysis later.

More Information about Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

The rising and falling rhythm of the heart with respiration, known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), is a good indicator of mental health and how relaxed or tense a person is. A sick heart and/or mind doesn't produce much rise and fall of the heart rhythm.

Anxiety and depression have profound affects on the autonomic nervous system. This nervous system controls our visceral functions such as digestion, arterial tone, muscle tone, and gastric motility. Both sympathetic (fight or flight/anxiety) responses and the parasympathetic (trying to counteract the sympathetic) nervous system produce adverse heart rhythms.

The Freeze-Framer^TM monitors the heart with a simple infra-red finger monitor and relays the heart's rhythm to a computer for analysis. The Freeze-Framer^TM contains everything you need to get you started and to learn to harness your mind and emotions. The Freeze-Framer^TM book and user's manual teach the techniques and provide understanding to the technology of HRV.

The Freeze-Framer^TM is useful in validating the effectiveness of treatment. In the example below, the Freeze-Framer^TM "windows" have been posted to Powerpoint for display purposes. The left picture is of a 28-year-old woman before treatment and the right window shows HRV during a Schumann Session on the DAVID Paradise XL^TM.

This person has anxiety as seen in the left window. The upper-left green trace shows her heart rate, speeding up and slowing down erratically with respiration. As she tries to focus on 10-second breathing cycles, her score begins to deteriorate (graph in lower left window). Near the end of the challenge, she began crying. Her overall score (lower right window) shows 77 beats/minute and quite a poor HRV score of 31. The upper right spectral analysis shows she was having both high sympathetic and parasympathetic activity, a sign of anxiety and the mind's attempt to control it.

The block of panels on the right shows that while experiencing a Schumann Session on the DAVID Paradise XL^TM, she dissociated out of her anxious thoughts and became deeply relaxed while breathing in 10-second breath cycles. The upper-right spectral plot shows that the slow sympathetic activity and the faster parasympathetic activity are now gone leaving only true activity related to good, relaxed breathing at 0.1 Hz. The lower-right panel shows her heart rate is also slower (73 bpm) and her score of 93 is much higher.
