Students Using HeartMath

This video is about GATE students at a Mountain View elementary school who have been learning HeartMath tools. These tools help kids identify and shift out of stress, anxiety and frustration; improve their relationships, interactions, behavior and schoolwork; and build social and emotional development skills.

One of the HeartMath tools that the students especially like is the emWave PC (formerly Freeze-Framer) which gives them real-time feedback on what they're feeling through colorful graphs and images on their computer screen. The program also includes fun games that are controlled by the student's ability to shift from stressful emotions like anxiety, frustration or anger to more positive and beneficial emotion like care or appreciation.

Thank you for your question. Freeze-Framer (now called emWave Desktop) is a product created by HeartMath. The emWave Desktop is a scientifically validated hardware/software system that teaches techniques to help you create an optimal state in which the heart, mind and emotions are operating in-sync and balanced. To learn more about emWave Desktop and the Institute of HeartMath please visit our website. Take care!

This is great stuff. I know for fact that this type of intervention is happening in many, many schools with benefits.

Freeze Framer and HeartMath is the same?

This is such a wonderful tool and students definitely benefit from practicing coherence. The sooner they learn this basic practice the better. Same goes for adults. It's an easy way to learn and practice relaxation breathing and to understand some of the basic science behind this. Long live the heart!

It's called coherence, or the balance between your breathing and your heart. It teaches you how to achieve more levels of relaxation and in turn strenghten your heart rate varibility, which is connected to emotions and thoughts.

These students were taught Quick Coherence and Shift and Shine. The kids were using the Freeze Framer which is now called emWave PC or emWave Mac.

I thought this was a really great video. I am a teacher just starting to do biofeedback with some of my students and I am very impressed with what you folks have done. Thank you!
