Inner Balance vs Awesome Breathing

Inner Balance™ gets your heart, mind, and emotions in sync for greater calm, focus, and a more balanced you in everyday life. HEARTMATH® SENSOR REQUIRED: This is the companion app to the Inner Balance sensor. It requires one of the HeartMath Inner Balance sensors (e.g. Bluetooth® or the Inner Balance Lightning sensor), which connects to your device and clips to your earlobe to pick up your heart-rhythm pattern. Inner Balance™ is a system of software and sensor that helps you strengthen your inner balance through training, guidance, and self-observation. It supports you in bringing your heart, mind, and emotions into a balanced, focused state (coherence), which you create yourself through calm breathing and positive focus. More than 400 independent, peer-reviewed studies have been published on HeartMath technologies and methods. Inner Balance gives you a real-time coherence score as feedback, and guided meditations and dynamic graphics support you toward a calmer, more centered, and more focused state. The HeartMath technology is for stress education and resilience training. It is not a medical device. We encourage you to consult a health professional before making any medical decisions.
