Meet your Sensate

Sensate works by using near-infrasound resonance via bone conduction on your sternum (chest bone). Keep it snug against your chest by laying down or reclining, and adjust the lanyard to keep it in place. 

• No previous mindfulness or meditation experience necessary. 
• Effective from the very first time you use your Sensate.
• Designed to tone the vagus nerve and improve the natural relaxation response.
• The best results, like with most things, come with regular practice. Try at least 10 minutes per day for a cumulative effect. 

What’s in the box?

• Sensate
• Travel pouch
• Adjustable lanyard
• USB charging cable

Get Started

1. Download the free app on the App Store or Google Play Store. Your Sensate device only works when synchronised with the audio on the companion app.
2. Using your smartphone, search for ‘Sensate’ in the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) and install the app. After downloading, open the app and follow the instructions to complete your setup. This will include creating an account.
3. Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the phone is near the Sensate.
4. Power your Sensate on (and off) by pressing and holding the button until the blue light turns on.

Tip: Attach the lanyard (included) to the loop to keep the Sensate positioned correctly. 

How to start your Sensate Experience

1. Once you have set up your account, you will see the Sensate App Home Page. From here you will see the ‘Start Session’ and ‘Select Track’ buttons, as well as the connection status of your Sensate device. 

2. In order to choose your Soundscape you will need to press ‘Select Track’. From here you can browse our soundscape library. Soundscapes are available to download.

3. Once you have selected your soundscape (and preferred duration, if applicable), make sure your Sensate Device is connected.

4. Find a quiet place to recline or lie down. Put your phone on do-not-disturb or sleep mode to avoid notifications. Place the device on the highest part of your chest (sternum), over light clothing or on your skin. Darken the room or cover your eyes (if you can).

5. Press ‘Start Session’ to begin. 

6. Adjust the Volume and Vibrational Intensity from your screen.

7. Relax

Key tips for your best Sensate experience

• Watch the quick setup video at https://getsensate.com/quickstart
• Don't try to pair Bluetooth to your Sensate device in your smartphone menu – the devices will connect automatically when they are both on and the Sensate app is open.
• Sensate will show a green light when it’s time to charge. Simply connect the device to a power source via the cable provided (or your own applicable power cable). 
• Our Soundscapes are unique! We use our own proprietary audio mix of four trade-secret elements to create an immersive, resonant sound experience; synchronised across the infrasound and audible spectrum.

What to expect after your Sensate session

• Even though Sensate works from the first session, the overall results are cumulative and can vary over time.
• When finished, Move slowly and take care as you are getting up!
• Sensate affects everyone differently, but the most common long-term outcomes people report are:
• Improved sleep time and quality
• Improved mood and reduced anxiety
• Increased resilience to stress

We recommend keeping an open mind - and let us know what changes you notice as you go, we would love to hear from you!

Disclaimers

Sensate is not a medical device and people must contact their medical practitioner with any questions or concerns. We cannot make recommendations specifically for children, pregnant people or people with surgical implants like pacemakers.

The Sensate device is not a toy. Adults should supervise use of Sensate for any children under the age of 13 to ensure proper use of equipment including the app, and to monitor impact.

What App permissions Do We Need?

For the Sensate app, we kindly request your permission to allow Notifications, Bluetooth, and Location banners. Granting these permissions ensures that you receive important updates and enables seamless connection with your Sensate device. It's crucial for the app to work smoothly.

We understand your concerns about location permission. Rest assured, we do not utilize your location information for any purpose. However, the app requires location permission to be granted "All the time" instead of just "While using the app." This is a technical requirement, and we appreciate your understanding!
