Tips for using Sensate during meditationUpdated 9 days ago

Using Sensate during meditation is all about the power of passivity. Unlike traditional practices that require focusing on your breath, Sensate helps guide you into a deeply relaxed state without the effort of concentration. The tactile sensations paired with calming soundscapes allow you to move beyond the usual struggle of trying to focus solely on your breath — a practice that often leads to hypervigilance and frustration.

Here’s how to use Sensate effectively during meditation:

1. Put on the Sensate Device and Relax
   Simply put on the Sensate device and let it do its job. There’s no need to worry about focusing on your breath or reaching a specific mental state. The beauty of Sensate lies in the passive experience. Allow the device’s gentle vibrations and soundscapes to guide you into relaxation effortlessly.

2. The Power of Not Doing
   The real magic of Sensate is in its ability to help you relax by doing less. There’s no need to strain your mind or body. Let the sensations wash over you and simply let go, allowing the device to guide you into a state of calm.

3. Using Sensate with Breathing Techniques
   If you’re using one of Sensate’s BreathScape sessions, designed for guided breathing retraining, there’s still no need to overthink your breath. These sessions gently guide you, but the advice remains the same: don’t try too hard to focus on your breath. Let the breathing cues naturally sync with the device’s sensations to encourage relaxation without the pressure of controlling your breath.

4. Let Go of Effort
   Whether you’re using a BreathScape session or simply enjoying the relaxing vibrations of the device, the goal is to let your body relax passively. This is especially helpful for those who find traditional meditation practices frustrating or challenging. Sensate offers a way to experience deep calm without the usual mental effort.

Let the power of passive relaxation guide you toward a deeper sense of well-being 🧡
