Anyone training using HeartMath Inner Balance for IOS

Hello Community,

I have been using HeartMath, maker of Inner Balance, that claims its iOS-based system can help you relax and get your heart, mind and emotions "in sync."

It uses a sensor that clips onto your earlobe, and when that's connected to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, the Inner Balance app displays your relaxation level as it helps you concentrate on your breathing.

The app does appear to work for me.

Its works by an clipping the device to your ear, it uses what the company calls "emWave technology," it basically works by measuring your pulse, and helps you understand what sorts of thoughts and relaxation techniques are working the best for you.

The goal is to achieve the app's green color of total relaxation — or as HeartMath calls it, "coherence." However, I've noticed the app can turn green even when not clipped to my ear. Therefore, I'm wondering if it actually works or if its just a placebo?

Any thoughts would be most welcomed.
