A Shiftwave classic: take a trip down the river to de-stress and reset the nervous system. A research study at Tulane Medical School demonstrated River Master to neutralize stress, reduce anxiety, and increase cognitive function. It’s common for this routine to clear out blockages that keep us from living up to our full potential. Allow pulsed pressure waves to release any internal burdens and neutralize your stress. This protocol is the current gold standard introduction to the Shiftwave system and provides for a complete nervous system rebalance and a better-than power nap using Shiftwave’s patent pending Synthetic Sleep®.

The Longevity protocol capitalizes on the deep scientific learnings from the Shiftwave Institute to drive and exercise physiology to improve longevity. The protocol starts with 10 mins of breath-work to synchronize diaphragmatic breathing with the central nervous system. Once you are trained to breathe properly, the system utilizes proprietary Shiftwave pulsed pressure waves to drive the entire body and mind into a state of resonance. In this state, the autonomic nervous system is balanced, vasculature is exercised, the cardiopulmonary system is synchronized and neurological systems (including the brain) are activated. This protocol is a complete, inside-out, workout that will leave you feeling ready for anything. Your data over time will indicate improvement in key indicators of wellness.

This protocol uses a combination of Synthetic Sleep, holotropic breathwork, and mechano-neurostimulation to restore and optimize the body while upregulating parts of the brain deactivated by stress and anxiety. As pulsed pressure waves align the physiology into a fully optimized state, the brain follows suit and leads you into a deep and sustained state of meditation. Matching the pulsed pressure waves closely with your breath will lead you to a euphoric state of bliss.

A major breakthrough at the Shiftwave Institute, Synthetic Sleep puts you in a deeply restorative state. Not getting enough Sleep? Feeling the need to be completely restored? Listen to the sounds of nature and let this protocol detox and flush your system from head to toe.

The Sleep Optimization Series

This is a no-frills Synthetic Sleep protocol designed to put you into a similar state as deep sleep. Deep sleep has deeply restorative effects for the mind and body. Synthetic Sleep is a great way to catch up on some sleep, make up for a restless night, or top off the batteries before making another push. This protocol drops you right into Synthetic Sleep. As with any of the Synthetic Sleep protocols, do as much of this one as you have time for—if you just have 15 minutes, then just do that. Some customers want to sleep in their Shiftwave. If this is the case, we recommend using SS Pure SS with the “loop” feature turned on in the settings page.

The longest of the Synthetic Sleep protocols, SS Bubbler will drive you into deep restoration. And if you love the sound of bubbles, then this protocol is for you!

Combining the power of progressive relaxation and Synthetic Sleep, this protocol is the ultimate power nap. Use it when you need a quick recharge to prepare for a long day or night. Disco Nap uses a combination of Synthetic Sleep and progressive relaxation to completely relax the body and restore the mind. As one of our Special Forces users put it: “it’s the power nap that actually delivers."

Want to get your fluids moving? Stir up any stagnant systems? Crank up this lymph and muscle massage protocol and reinvigorate your entire system. Dial it down to feel the subtle tickling of electrochemical stimulus running from your mechanoreceptors through your neurological system all the way to your prefrontal cortex.

Studies have shown that daily activation of the sympathetic nervous system for 5 minutes can strengthen your insular cortex: the brain center where your internal environment attunes to the needs of the outside world. As the first brain area scientifically shown to grow with a daily mindfulness practice, the insular cortex not only helps the inner world of the body relate to the outside world, it also assists in regulating and calming your inner environment. Strengthening the insular cortex improves control over how the outside world affects your inner state, and it enhances resilience to stress.

Narrated by Cate Blanchett, this guided meditation brings your physiology into harmony with nature. The daily doses of stress we receive - whether from digital devices or just plain stressful lives - leave us in an unnatural state. This protocol helps to guide you back into the rhythms of nature.

Based on the classic River Master, this protocol combines the pleasing sounds of water with a sequence of pulsed pressure waves to wash stress from your system. Without any voice instruction, you can go on your own journey.

Want to learn about Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how to use Shiftwave’s BioDrive® mode? This protocol will explain HRV and how to use BioDrive®. HRV is a key indicator of health, and it declines with age, stress, and poor sleep. This protocol uses Shiftwave’s patent pending BioDrive® technology to exercise your cardiopulmonary system to maximize HRV. Check your score at the end to see the maximum HRV you achieved during your session. With higher scores, you enhance the communication between your brain and body, increasing your ability to adapt to stress.

This explains how Shiftwave works: flushing stress from the system, reducing pain and inflammation in the body, and restoring prefrontal cortex function. This protocol was created for helping aid workers and refugees in Ukraine. It combines the 10-minute-long introduction and River Master.

This 7-minute-long protocol induces a sleep state using vibro-acoustic hypnosis. Use it before bed to quickly transition into a restful sleep state. Or, if you wake up at night, use it to get back to sleep.

Want to have a great day feeling at ease and confident, enjoying a positive outlook on life? Then this is the protocol for you! Enjoy the calm centering experience of vibro-assisted meditation, experiencing a surprising pleasure and ease to the practice of mindfulness. In this protocol, pulsed pressure waves not only align your physiology but also engage the salience network of the brain, assisting your brain to calm distracting thoughts and maintain gentle focus on the here and now. Afterwards, enjoy the spillover effects of this protocol as you go about your day.
