No. There's no practice and no experience needed. Pick your state of mind, put on what it needs and press play. If you're curious why it works, it's built on the technology behind NuCalm, and the science page explains it.
A phone or tablet and a pair of headphones. Earbuds work too, for every product except DeepestSleep and DeepestSleep+, which play on a speaker on the nightstand. High-quality headphones are recommended for best results. Rescue, PowerNap and FlowState also need an eye mask.
Set your phone to Do Not Disturb and press play. For Rescue, PowerNap and FlowState, you lie down, eye mask and headphones on. For Focus, Priming and Ignite, it’s headphones on. For DeepestSleep and DeepestSleep+, it’s a speaker on the nightstand at bedtime. Then you let it run. That’s the whole method.

Whenever the moment calls for it. Many members use Rescue or PowerNap for a midday reset (at least 3 hours before bedtime), Focus while they work, and DeepestSleep or DeepestSleep+ every night.
