I understand it’s a pricy purchase, especially on something you will question can it do what it says and will it help. Quite simply, it does. The more your connect with the device, the more it helps to peel away your layers of muscle tension, easing that flight or flight response that so many of us are stuck in. Science and technology are a beautiful couple in this device. I have shared with my friends to try this device and you should to. One of the first product reviews I have ever been compelled to write.
In my research I ran across a couple articles about vagus nerve stimulation which seems to still be more in exploratory stage than a medically accepted treatment option, but read one about Sensate and thought it worth trying out.
After about 3 weeks use, I feel like I’m getting some benefit from it. If nothing else along with some meditative focus and breathing it does help me calm down better than just meditation alone.
But has very limited number of soundtracks almost all of which have time limits you cannot change and I don’t like most of them. The two for sleep use piano music that tends to be somewhat jarring to me. Why not flute or harp or ocean waves or binaural beats headache relief tracks. The h2o one is pretty good but only lasts 10 minutes.
Lately I’ve been turning volume down on 30 minutes length ones and concurrently listening to mediation or ocean waves/white noise tracks from other apps, but I feel like I’m not getting full benefit of a sound track and vibration synced combo.
It’s not the whole answer for my issues, but it helps enough that with the addition of more meditative and or white noise tracks with selectable time limits it would get my rating up to 5 stars.
I have been in ‘fight or flight’ mode most of my life and once I learned that I was, I’ve been working diligently at leaving it behind. The Sensate is an easy, relaxing, natural way to do this in short blocks of time, like 10 minutes short!
This technology, paired with soothing sounds (you choose your style and length of time) allows my body to heal and tap into my vagal nerve, further assuring my body that it can relax in safety.
And, I love that it’s a one-time purchase price, no monthly fees or subscriptions. 🙂
This item is super simple BUT works at toning the vagus nerve it requires an app which although free has very limited soundscapes but you can turn the volume down & play your own meditation/music which unlocks so much more than the rather limited dozen soundscapes the app offers
It really helps with stress relief, easing depression & anxiety & I am hoping with continued use it will help insomnia
Most relaxing music doesn’t work for me, but about half of the ones with this we’re good for me.
I find I can go into a REM like state in about 20 mins. Legs and arms asleep with brain relaxing but not a sleep. After finishing a session transitioning to sleep is good and quality is improved.
If you get up after seasion before transition to sleep you can loose a bit of the benefit. So I recommend being ready for bed if that’s the plan.
Reasonable price and works well.
Recommended!
Upon retirement, although I no longer took Xanax because even if I continued to wake at that time it didn’t matter if I couldn’t go back to sleep since I didn’t have to work the next day, I did, however, continue to experience anxiety from time to time; I am a “worrier” even when there is no evidence I need to worry. My brain never shuts off as my life is complicated and relaxation is impossible most of the time.
I learned about the Sensate Relaxation Device and decided to try it. I received it yesterday and although I’ve only had it 24 hours, I can’t say enough about this extraordinary product. And, it came a day early and since I had been awake since 3:00 a.m. and had a very busy day ahead of me, it was perfect timing. Before I opened it, I completed the most important of my tasks, my brain swirling all the while as I was worrying about the next task while finishing the one before.
Once done, I opened the package. First, although not most important, unlike most products, the packaging was simple, attractive, and easy to open.
While I had been a bit concerned about whether I could easily connect it to my I-phone, the directions were clear and it took me only a few minutes to do so.
I chose my musical soundscape (forest) and followed the easy-to-understand directions for a 10-minute trial. When I turned it on, the first thing I noticed was the pleasant vibration that seemed to ebb and flow with the music. I then began to wonder how on earth someone came up with this idea. After a few moments of that, and a bit of worry about everything I had to do that day, it seemed that my brain turned off. Completely off.
I had finished most of my tasks earlier, and as I continued through the day I was easily able to complete the rest of my work, make dinner, and watch a bit of TV before I went to bed.
The miracle, and I don’t use that word lightly, is that I slept from 9:15 p.m. until 4:45 a.m., waking only once to use the restroom and going immediately back to sleep. I can’t remember the last time I was ever able to sleep for 8 hours but it had been double digit years.
Setup is effortless. I paired it with my iPhone with no problems. After using it a couple of times, I called in to get their thoughts on different ways to use it, and the people I talked to there were super helpful and gave me great insight. I am still new to this product, but the company seems excellent, and so far, I can already feel a difference, and more importantly, I am motivated to use it!
Suggestion for improvement: I wish users had the power to control the vibrations instead of pre-defined tracks.
Was skeptical at first but I’m in to my 2nd night and it’s absolutely amazing I use it to help me fall asleep what would usually take me 1 hour sometimes 1 hour 30 minutes took me 10 minutes to fall asleep I didn’t want it to not work because of the price but it’s really worth it and does work!
I don’t usually write many reviews, and I was a bit reluctant to buy this because of the price. However, I do love a gadget and have tried most things to improve my sleep, which is often quite poor. I struggle to meditate due to my, what my yoga teacher calls ‘monkey brain’ which is all over the place. I’ve tried most sleep aids, but this really works. From the first time I used it I noticed a difference – I sleep much more deeply and wake more refreshed. It relaxes me for sleep and I drift off more easily and wake in the night less frequently. I would recommend this despite the price.
We love it! Everyone in the family uses it for relaxed meditation time before bed. Much better sleep for the whole family. It helps decreases duration until falling asleep and deepens the sleep with more dreams, which means more REM sleep.
Love it & highly recommend.
I have used Sensate a few times now and I cannot recommend it enough. If having a 10-20 min rest wasn’t a sufficiently rare and precious luxury, having the Sensate to soothe and relax you is just incredible. I work long hours in a stressful and mentally-draining job so I think I may be the target audience for Sensate. You do need to test a few of the sound options to work out what works for you. I tried the chanting but my favourite is the forest sounds which transport you so peacefully to another world whilst your chest is being gently massaged (is that the right word?!) by the Sensate unit. Time passes just too quickly.
What a wonderful surprise it was to test out the new sensate device. Its always difficult for me to go to sleep, as I have so much on at work but as soon as i turned it on I was transported to another world. This is a big recommend from me for anyone who has stress or sleep issues or just wants to enter a place of calm. Thanks Sensate. You have pride of place on my bedside table.
The real surprise for us was, my husband, who has always been a light sleeper, and through stress of work, was now also struggling to go to sleep – so he decided to try it before bed time. It quickly helped him get off to sleep, however more impressively after a few sessions, the quality of his sleep dramatically improved. And we all know how important sleep is for everything. So its good to know that he’s sleeping so much better.
I bought it for a friend who I used to go to clubs to. We missed the bass from the clubs, and he is very much into wellness, so I thought it’ll be perfect. I wasn’t wrong, they are a perfect match and he’s been ‘raving’ about how the Sensate experience relaxes him so much, he dozes off half of the sessions. Happy customer.
When I stumbled across the Sensate, I sort of wondered if it might be a bit of an answer to prayer. I’ve had insomnia since I was a teenager; I don’t actually like going to sleep very much; the pandemic nonsense has made some fairly profound anxiety flare up after 15 years of calm and my job can be stressful… all of which amounts to a fair bit of misery, and it’s funny what you can get used to when you live with it every day, but I saw this and wondered if it might help, even a little.
The price put me off for a while, I can’t lie. 227 for something that may or may not work is eye-wateringly, fist-bitingly expensive but when you’re desperate, you’re willing to try anything – so after humming and ahhing for a couple of weeks, and moving it into and out of my Amazon basket most days, I finally took the plunge.
The Sensate itself is a large, black pebble-shaped thing; it’s covered in a slightly brushed-texture silicone plastic (I discovered this is useful in keeping it in place on your chest.) The shape and feel is tactile and lovely – I expect it’s meant to feel a little like a worry-stone, or a talisman.
I should say quickly: the included instructions say it will come fully charged but ours wasn’t so we needed to charge it. Getting a full charge took about an hour so it’s no bother. Just don’t worry if yours needs charging, too – it doesn’t mean it’s faulty. I haven’t let the battery run down so I can’t say how many sessions the battery will last on one charge, but the instructions also say you can leave it charging all the time so you always have it available to use. I’m worried that leaving electronics permanently charging can damage the battery eventually so I’ll just charge it when it’s needed. You’ll know it needs charging when the light surrounding the On button goes from greeny teal to amber.
Pairing it up to your phone’s bluetooth is a doddle, and this is coming from someone who knows less than zero about bluetooth. You just download the app and follow the simple instructions. By the way, you don’t need to own a Sensate to download the app, and the app will give you access to the music but, honestly, it’s the pebble that makes all the magic.
The music choices are fairly limited: there are 4 categories: Nature; Space and Time; Sacred Spaces, and Breathe. Within each category there are either 2, 3 or 4 different options and, at the moment, there are 13 tracks to choose from.
You have to download each track you’ll want to use, but you can listen to a sample beforehand. Of the 13, I downloaded 12 of them, and it hasn’t slowed down my phone at all. I don’t think they’re downloaded to your phone so much as they’re just downloaded into the app as you need to open the app to select your track each time you use the Sensate.
The various tracks are either 10 minutes, 20 minutes or 30 minutes.
So, does it work?
You’ll see I’ve given it 5 stars so, in a word, yes – but it’s not as simple as that.
If you’re having a panic attack or your anxiety is really bad, this isn’t a quick fix. It’s not that you can just put this on and something otherwordly happens. You need to be in the right frame of mind, and you have to (forgive the superwanky language I’m about to use) lean into it. You have to engage with it and invest some time/energy… essentially, you choose how effective it is.
You place the Sensate on your chest (I’ve tried it over clothing and it slid off, whereas the brushed silicone texture sort of lightly holds to your skin, enough to stop it sliding off); you choose your track, and away you go.
The pebble will vibrate in sync with the music – which you can either listen to through headphones or straight from the phone. For what it’s worth, I don’t find wearing headphones particularly comfortable, so I prefer listening via the phone, but headphones can create more of a “flotation tank” feel, which is what you’re going for. You want the room to be quiet, dark (you also receive an eye mask that you drape over your eyes if needed) and you also want to be still so you can really focus on the Sensate.
The pebble’s vibrations are interesting… each track will cause different vibrations, and they range from a hum, to a buzzing to almost a deep growl. At first it feels weird, but focusing on it is incredibly helpful if your mind is prone to wandering. Which mine is. Even if I’m exhausted, my mind tends to go 100 miles an hour – today’s worries, and tomorrow’s worries, and future imaginary worries all barrel through one after the other, and it’s debilitating. But choosing to focus on the vibrations of the pebble stilled my mind. It didn’t make the thoughts stop, really, it just made them less urgent; less pressing. I was able to let the thoughts go, so they passed through my mind instead of bouncing off the walls and pinballing about… if that makes any sense.
The feeling of the buzz on the vagus nerve isn’t addictive or anything, but last night I turned on the Sensate, and I was making mental notes for the sake of this review and any time the pebble wasn’t vibrating, I found myself almost yearning for it to start again. It doesn’t vibrate constantly, or even in a set pattern – it hums, buzzes and growls in sync to the music and sounds (eg, water flowing, or birdsong) so sometimes there’s no vibrations for 10, 15 or even 20 seconds. And during those times, I really did yearn for the pebble to start buzzing again.
I don’t do yoga or meditation and didn’t need this to get into a meditative state, but I did need it to help settle my mind and, maybepossiblyhopefully, help me to sleep. And, miracle of miracles, it helps me sleep. The first time I used it, it put me to sleep after about 15 minutes; last night (I’ve owned it now for about 2 weeks) it took about half an hour.
So for me, the Sensate will be worth the cost. But it’s really not a magic bullet… I’m worried that some of the marketing/reviews make it seem like a miracle-worker, and it’s definitely not that. But if you’re willing to work with it and you *choose* to allow it to settle you down, it absolutely can. Because of that, I think it’s worth every penny.
My 87 year old mother suffers from anxiety and poor sleep. Since we gave her a Sensate and she has been using it for some weeks, we see a marked improvement on both counts … she is calmer, happier and more rested. I do recommend this device – and be patient as it needs a little while fully to ‘work’.
I’ll normally do anything to avoid meditating and find it very hard to be still and this is helping me to get into a state of deep relaxation. It seems to be helping with sleep too.
To be able to feel this relaxed is something I thought I could never achieve.
Thanks Sensate
Only wish it was more accessible price wise as so many people could benefit. And also look forward to having some more tracks.
Very easy to use and connect . The app is intuitive and well
Designed . My first session (10 mins) brought on a glorious deep sleep . Since then I have used Sensate to destress daily . Battery life seems good too. I think this device is perfect for the modern professional needing quick and deliverable stress relief . It has really helped me and I’m looking forward to new tracks being released within the app . Brilliant product .
The Sensate device mixed with the soundscapes from the app create a sense of calm – I’m excited to use this over the coming weeks to see what the long term effects are. For now, it’s a wonderful way to relax, unwind and feel refreshed. Recommend
