Meditation asks you to sit still, close your eyes, and breathe. If your heart is pounding, or you feel nothing at all, that can make things worse. Regulate is not a meditation app. It's a nervous system app: short, active, body-first exercises matched to the state you're actually in. Pick how you feel, get the right tool, use it for 1 to 3 minutes, then rate how you feel. That's the whole loop. Built from lived experience of PTSD recovery and four years of somatic work, for the people meditation apps didn't work for. FOUR STATES. THE RIGHT TOOL FOR EACH. ANXIOUS / PANIC - Physiological Sigh: a double inhale and long exhale, one of the best-studied quick ways to help your body settle (2023 Stanford randomized trial) - Pattern Breaker: a cognitive interrupt for racing panic loops - Geode Release: rapid tapping to burn through the surge - Pressure Gauge: tap fast to drive the needle through the redline, then let it fall with one long exhale NUMB / FREEZE - Pendulum: follow a slow swing left and right and tap each side at the peak, with a soft tone in each ear - 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding: sensory anchoring to bring you back online - Focus Follow: smooth-pursuit eye tracking ANGRY / FRUSTRATED - Chaos Release: a physical discharge shake game - Tension Release: find and release the tension your body is holding - Haul: drag a heavy rope down with slow, full pulls; it gets heavier as you go BALANCED / FLOW - Regulate Breath: a 1:2 inhale-to-exhale ratio, the slow pace HRV research points to - Current: rest a fingertip on a wandering light and follow it WHY BODY-FIRST WORKS When your nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, thinking your way out rarely works. Regulate's exercises are rooted in breathing science, somatic psychology, and nervous system research: science-backed techniques that work through the body. Breath, movement, bilateral stimulation, and sensory grounding. Every exercise is interactive and animated, with haptic feedback that gives your hands something to do.

Regulation. --- Regulate is a self-care tool, not a medical device, and is not a substitute for professional care.
