Overview of Calm Awareness

The Calm Awareness App is a Companion app for the PC application called Calm Awareness which offers Neurofeedback Guided Mindfulness Training for Meditation Trainers—individuals assisting others in developing a Mindfulness Meditation practice. Calm Awareness integrates with the MindWave Mobile NeuroDevice, which measures brainwaves, particularly focusing on Alpha brainwaves linked to relaxation and cognitive benefits.
** Please note that Calm Awareness can only be used in collaboration with a trainer who must configure the app and its settings and guide the user through the training process.

Key advantages include:

• Improved Focus and Attention: Enhances concentration by reducing distractions.
• Stress Reduction: Promotes relaxation and counters anxiety.
• Enhanced Creativity: Encourages idea generation and problem-solving.
• Better Sleep Quality: Facilitates restful brain states.
• Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation: Supports emotional balance and well-being.
• Improved Memory and Learning: Boosts information retention and recall.
• App is used in Collaboration with Meditation Trainers who can provide customizable training sessions and session lengths for individual needs.

Maximizing Alpha Brainwave Benefits

Practicing mindfulness with Calm Awareness for 15-20 minutes daily fosters these benefits. Extended sessions of up to 30 minutes may amplify effects but should align with individual comfort levels. Techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing and relaxed facial muscles help reduce muscular artifacts during neurofeedback training. Users gradually learn to activate Alpha brainwaves, cultivating a calm mental state that mitigates stress and emotional reactivity.

This practice enables individuals to manage automatic reactions, fostering insight and acceptance. By reducing emotional overreactivity, users can maintain emotional stability, use coping strategies effectively, and respond constructively to challenges. The long-term benefits extend to improved emotional and physical health, social well-being, and resilience.
