Getting the best experience with SensateUpdated 7 days ago

Sensate is designed to provide a deeply relaxing experience by stimulating the vagus nerve through gentle vibrations synchronized with carefully crafted soundscapes. To make the most of your sessions, follow these tips on soundscape selection, intensity adjustments, and general best practices.

Understanding Sensate’s Vibrations

Sensate’s vibrations are not constant; they are in sync with each soundscape. This means that sometimes they may feel strong, other times faint, and occasionally they may pause altogether. Each soundscape has a unique vibration pattern, some are more consistent, while others are more dynamic. This variation is intentional and enhances the overall sensory experience.

The vibrational resonance of Sensate is not simply the bass from the audio. Instead, it is a separate and independent element, treated like an instrument within the overall composition. While the infrasound (below 30Hz) follows its own structure, it is always harmonized with the audible elements of the soundscape (above 30Hz). This makes each soundscape a unique experience, and different people may resonate with different ones.

Choosing Your Soundscape and Intensity Level

For your first session, we recommend starting with the Sunrise soundscape at the lowest vibration setting. Once you become familiar with the sensation, try exploring other soundscapes before adjusting the intensity. Sensate’s experience is subjective, and what feels best varies from person to person—trust yourself and find what works for you.

If you're accustomed to an earlier Sensate model with a harder backing, you may notice that the new design distributes vibrations over a larger area. The infrasound range has been refined to align with this design, so the sensation may feel different. If this is the case, try adjusting the intensity level until you find the most comfortable setting.

Enhancing Your Experience

• Wear Sensate under clothing: For best results, place the device directly on the skin or inside the neoprene pouch.

• Use headphones: Sensate is most effective when paired with high-quality headphones to fully experience the layered soundscapes.

• Relax and let go of expectations: The device is designed for passive use, helping the nervous system self-regulate over time. The more you allow yourself to relax, the deeper the effects.

• Experiment with different soundscapes: Different soundscapes evoke different responses, some may be more energizing, others more calming. Try different options at different times of the day to see what suits you best.

By following these guidelines, you can create an optimal Sensate experience that supports your relaxation and well-being. Enjoy your journey!
