When life is moving too fast, sometimes even 10 seconds of relaxation feels out of reach. But taking that single moment to reset can change your mood, lower your stress, and boost your focus. With the Embr Wave thermal wristband, you can build even just one minute of relaxation into your routine with temperature therapy tailored to your needs.
Here are seven relaxation techniques you can easily use with the Relax mode in the Embr Wave 2 app to reclaim your calm and recharge your mind. Pair your Wave with the app to explore Relax and support your well-being.
1. Deep Breathing + Cold Splash
Stress creeping up on you? Pair a 1-minute Cold Splash session with deep breathing exercises.

Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) releases tension in your body, and the Unwind Warm session complements it perfectly.

I use to sleep awful. I would get up and felt like I didn’t sleep at all. With the Embr Wave my alarm goes off and I’m still sound asleep 😴. Thank you Embr Wave 😘
