Alive Features and Description

Beyond the computer Alive is not just about computers! Your Alive User Guide includes the multi-disciplinary Alive & Beyond 8-Week Program. The Alive & Beyond 8-Week Program has been developed to help you get the most out of Alive, bringing in off-screen concepts and exercises to complement the Alive software. For those using Alive with a child or teen, we include a section on Alive for Younger Users. You may want to follow Alive & Beyond exactly or you may want to tailor it to your needs. Either approach is fine and will help you in your journey toward stress relief and peak performance. Behind Alive & Beyond Alive & Beyond — and much of the Alive software itself — was developed in partnership with Yuval Oded, a leading expert in biofeedback. Yuval, a consultant to the French Ministry of Defense, is a Clinical Psychologist who has developed biofeedback programs to help military personnel keep a clear head, suppress unhelpful responses to difficult situations, and manage an array of decisions and tasks. In his clinics, Yuval treats a wide array of conditions, including anxiety disorders, behavioral disorders, chronic illnesses, neurological problems, psychosomatic problems, head trauma and post traumatic stress disorder.

The Alive Coach

Diagnostics, educational resources, progress tracking, and a virtual coach to teach you techniques for breathing to lower and smooth heart rate, how to interpret your body data, and to suggest a program for meeting your goals.

As you play the Alive Games and explore the Environments, the Coach stays with you throughout the entire experience, evaluating your progress, and helping you maximize the effectiveness of Alive — suggesting alternative programs and approaches as you play.

Alive Games

Alive Environments

For training and development. Gorgeous visual environments to explore as you pace your breathing and smooth your heart rate include:

• Alive Environments Metal Pulse — Use paced breathing to turn undulating waves from orange to an intense blue.

• Alive Environments Tropical Ocean — Relax to make the wind blow the palm fronds and the wave sounds intensify.
• Alive Audio Environments — Close your eyes, sink back into your chair, and breathe to smooth your heart rate. The more even your heart rate changes are, the more enveloping the music and relaxing sounds become. Choose from Rain, Stream, Waves, and Memory.
