Wait for the StressEraser to prompt you to “Insert Finger.” Then,
insert your left index finger. The sensor takes 5 seconds to adjust
to your pulse rate.
When you’re ready, inhale slowly and gently.
When a new triangle appears in the top right corner of the screen,
exhale slowly and gently.
During your exhale, slowly count to 4. If 4 is uncomfortable, try
counting higher (5) or lower (3) until you find a comfortable count.
After counting, inhale slowly until a new triangle appears. If the
triangles appear too closely together, take a long, gentle inhale and
then a long, gentle exhale. Repeat a few times. The triangles will
spread further apart as you slow down your breathing. For breathing
tips, refer to page 36 of the Owner’s Manual.
Repeat steps 5-8.

For best results, we recommend you reach at least 30 points per daytime session and at least 100
points when using at bedtime. With a little practice you will be able to reach 30 points in 5-7 minutes. If
you are having trouble scoring two and three square waves, press the button. This program helps
you experiment with different exhale counts. Refer to page 22 of the Owner’s Manual for instructions.
Reading your StressEraser BreathWave™

screen will display your Stress-
Eraser BreathWave. One, two or
three squares will appear below
each wave.

BreathWave is wide, smooth and
regular, you are consistently
scoring two or three squares, and
your breathing feels comfortable.
