When you're stressed, the 'fight or flight' part of your brain engages. TouchPoints shift you into the logical, rational part of your brain and allow you to think clearly and experience calm all within seconds. Having the ability to think rationally without an associated body sensation helps the brain create new neural pathways that are net positive, and this has a lasting effect on your brain. See How TouchPoints Work for more information.

Step-by-Step Guide:
Implementing
TouchPoints:
TouchPoints are intended to be used as needed throughout the day. TouchPoints can be used for a short duration to spot treat stress, or they may be left on for longer periods of time to prevent it.
Spot use:
Use TouchPoints on your preferred setting whenever you feel sudden stress. Most use TouchPoints for 5-15 minutes, or until they feel a sense of calm.
Preventative use:
Use TouchPoints prior and during a stressful situation, such as before an important meeting, before a test or presentation, or a difficult conversation. We recommend you begin using TouchPoints 15-30 minutes prior and if necessary, during, until you feel a sense of calm.
Using TouchPoints for 15-30 minutes can leave a lasting effect in helping you stay calm throughout the day, even when TouchPoints are off! One of the ways TouchPoints' BLAST technology works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. These new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol levels. Overtime, using TouchPoints in these shorter periods as needed throughout the day should help you feel less stressed, more calm and logical, even when they're off. Using TouchPoints as such will not only be helpful to their effectiveness, but will also prolong their lifetime and help you better understand and manage your stress.

TouchPoint Tip: We all have a unique relationship to stress! If you're in a stressful scenario that is not listed in the Encyclopedia of Uses, TouchPoints may still help! Begin using TouchPoints on the slowest speed (blue). See how you feel after 5 minutes. If you're not feeling any better, try a higher speed (yellow, then purple). The general rule of thumb is the higher your stress level, the higher the speed you should use.
Where
to Wear:
There are lots of ways to wear your TouchPoints, as long as you place one on the right and one on the left side of your body. TouchPoints do not need to be touching the skin as long as you can feel the vibrations. For more ways to wear TouchPoints, shop accessories!

What if TouchPoints don't work on me?
There are no known conditions that would render TouchPoints ineffective. TouchPoints should work on everyone because of how the brain integrates sensory input.
If it feels like your TouchPoints aren’t producing calm it could be because they are not on the right setting for you. Cycle through a couple different settings to find the one that works best for you.
If you are panicking or thinking about an extremely stressful event, it may take longer than 30 seconds to feel the difference. In this case, leave your TouchPoints on and then reassess every minute. In a few minutes, there should be a noticeable difference.
If you have a severe medical or mental health condition or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, this may interfere with the results. If you have a dissociative disorder, autism, or agenesis of the corpus callosum, you may not be able to notice the positive changes even if they are occurring.
