What to Expect During PowerNap

Mentally

Your mind will wander, you will lose sense of time and space, and you will flow in and out of a lucid dream state, hovering just above sleep

Physically

Your breathing will slow down (to as slow as 1 breath every 10 seconds), your heart rate will decrease, and all your muscle tension will melt away

Post Session

You will feel calm, grounded, patient, mentally focused, physically energized, and emotionally balanced

The Science Behind PowerNap

PowerNap gently and precisely slows down brain waves to theta (7Hz - 4Hz, the healing zone) where cellular detoxification, mitochondrial restoration, and parasympathetic dominance occur. The patented non-linear algorithms inside the neuroacoustic software ensures that your brain never figures out the patterns or builds resistance to the experience.
