Sensate’s vibrations: How they work & what to expectUpdated 9 days ago

Sensate’s vibrations are an essential part of the experience, designed to work in sync with each track’s unique soundscape. Unlike a simple bass response, Sensate’s vibrations are carefully composed to enhance relaxation and stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in regulating the nervous system.

How Do Sensate’s Vibrations Work?

Sensate operates by synchronizing low-frequency near-infrasound vibrations through bone conduction on the chest with the audio in your headphones. This stimulates the vagus nerve, which runs from the brainstem through the chest and abdomen, helping to activate the body's natural relaxation response.

The vibrations are:

• Not constant – They change throughout the session, sometimes strong, sometimes faint, sometimes pausing altogether.
• Track-dependent – Each track has its own vibration pattern. Some are more consistent, others more dynamic and varied.
• A separate instrument – Sensate’s vibrations are not just the lower frequencies of the music but are independently designed to complement the soundscapes.

This approach is similar to how different instruments in an orchestra play distinct yet harmonious parts. The infrasound vibrations (below 30Hz) are carefully composed to align with the aural components (above 30Hz), creating a deeply immersive effect that promotes relaxation through vagus nerve stimulation.

What If the Vibrations Feel Different?

Sensate is designed for a passive relaxation experience, allowing the nervous system to self-regulate naturally through vagus nerve activation. However, everyone’s experience is unique.

If you’re used to an older Sensate model, you might notice that the newer version has a slightly different vibration feel due to improved materials that distribute vibrations more evenly. The effectiveness remains the same, but adjusting intensity levels can help you find what feels best.

For the best experience:
✔️ Start with “Sunrise” at the lowest vibration setting to ease into it.
✔️ Try different tracks—each has a unique pattern, and what works for one person may not work for another.
✔️ Use it under clothing (directly on the skin or in the neoprene pouch) for optimal contact.
✔️ Experiment without expectations—relax and let Sensate work its magic.

Sensate is all about personalization—explore different tracks, adjust the intensity, and discover what feels best for you!
