Probably all of us have our own idea of what this feels like: headache, dry mouth, neck pain, stomach cramps, a sleepless night… But what’s actually happening in the body when we feel sudden or chronic stress/ Stress is often called the flight or fight response and it’s part of the biological mechanism we employ to cope with threatening situations. When it happens, heart rate rises, breathing becomes quicker, blood pressure increases and our muscles tense up. In modern society, we don’t often experience physical threats, but there are regular, less dramatic triggers – pressure at work, argume ..read more

Modern life is hectic. If we’re not worrying about how to pay our bills, coping with challenges at work, building a career or bringing up a family, we’re fretting over the news, isolated by pandemics or suffering from abuse on social media. Stress is everywhere and if you’re having trouble coping, you’re not alone. It can be difficult to relax, unwind and take a breath. But are we in the 21st century under more strain than our ancestors? How would we cope with the raging plague of the 15th and 16th centuries? Or being a slave transported on a crowded boat across the Atlantic? Or living in Lon ..read more

iMRS Prime Connector Box If you’ve been looking for the best Pulsed Electromagnetic Field or PEMF machine on the market today, be it for your clinic or for personal use, you’ve come to the right place. At The Life Mat Company we’re proud to offer state-of-the-art products, allowing anyone to reap the benefits of these amazing pieces of equipment. A PEMF machine is a therapeutic instrument using electromagnetic energy. An electrical current passed through pure copper coils generates low-frequency waves of electromagnetic energy. Entering the body, these energy waves work with your body’s natura ..read more

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla The late 1800’s and early 1900’s were a time of incredible technological progress. In particular, the inventions of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla showed the potential of electricity and electromagnetic fields, including new therapeutic directions. In 1891, Tesla demonstrated passing an electrical current through his own body and reported beneficial effects. In 1896, he created an ozone generator with major potential as an antibacterial and antiseptic, and also designed an oscill ..read more

Far Infra Red Therapy The sixth in our series of iMRS reviews is about the combined Far Infra Red and PEMF energy field, available through the Prime Hybrid mat. What is Far Infrared? NASA explains the electromagnetic spectrum (1) as a range of different types of radiation energy present in Nature. Far infrared is part of this spectrum, defined as 3–100 micrometers (μm) with a wavelength of between 15 micrometres and 1mm. It appears just above the frequencies for microwaves and below ‘visible’ red. All objects in the universe, including human beings, produce some level of infrared radiation, wh ..read more

Music Therapy The fifth in our series of reviews on the iMRS Prime system focuses on another function within the Exagon Brain brain entrainment device: uploading your own choice of music tracks to be combined with the binaural beats already programmed into the system’s audio output. This audio experience is then synchronised (especially through the Prime’s Fast Start programs) into a seamless “brain spa” effect, delivering whatever state of relaxation or sleep, motivation or performance, you want to experience. We have long experience with various types of healing, meditational and learning-or ..read more

The fourth in our iMRS review series explores another of the Prime’s add-on technologies: Colour Therapy. This is closely related to Brain Entrainment and available through the Exagon Brain accessory. Again, by exploring the research and the many uses of colour therapy, I hope to validate and explain why we add it to our PEMF systems. In case it sounds a bit flaky, let’s be clear: colour therapy is used in a huge range of commercial and therapeutic applications and recent research has documented its effects on people  emotionally, cognitively and physiologically. What is Colour Therapy ..read more

Kubios Heart Rate Variability Anaysis AppHeart Rate Variability In this third part of our iMRS Prime Review, we’re focusing on a key aspect of our physiology with profound importance, not just for how the iMRS Prime works, but for every type of therapy and therapeutic technology: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). As explained in part 2 of the review, these are the basis for the type of biofeedback used in the Prime. The ANS essentially sits in the background, a collection of physiological components that control important functions such as heartbeat and breat ..read more

iMRS Prime Exagon Sense Device In the second part of our iMRS Prime review series, we look at another add-on technology that is central to exploring the system’s full potential: the Exagon Sense, an optical measurement (Bifunctional photoplethysmography) sensor which detects blood volume changes in the microvascular tissue of the nailbed of one of the user’s fingers. Biofeedback is not a new concept. It developed over the early part of the 20th century, became a stronger force in the late-60s and finally began to change and affect our everyday lives dramatically over the last 10 to 15 years.
