Sun 14 Dec 2014, 5:49 pm Hello Ryan, All, Long time no see! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I have been focusing on other techniques for quite a while, but just recently dusted off my Alive Clinical version and continue to be impressed at what a lovely piece of work it is, indeed! Two questions about "optimal ...

Wed 26 Dec 2012, 7:35 pm Hi Ryan, All, My normal heart rate tends to be fairly high, in the low 80's usually. Always has been. When I do Alive! after a shower or after bicycling or after TaiChi, my heart rate is around 90-95 and I don't have success much success in bringing it down during Alive! Als...

Thu 22 Nov 2012, 5:48 pm Hi all, I am not a "games guy." To give you an idea, I spent 75 cents playing three games of Pong once in a bar in San Francisco in 1975. That's about it for me and games! Don't get me wrong. I am in awe of the visuals and games in Alive! They are elegant and beaut...

Tue 20 Nov 2012, 9:41 am Hi All, Long time no see! Just curious if anyone uses Alive! or other HRV training in conjunction (before, during or after) with BWE (entrainment)? Recently, I got the NP3 (Transparent Corp.) system, and have been playing around with entrainment, specifically entrainment sim...

Mon 12 Mar 2012, 10:13 am Good Morning Ryan, All, For these many months, I may have been operating under a misunderstanding of basic concepts! :oops: Some questions: (1) Am I correct that RSA (Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia) and HRV (Heart Rate Variability) are more or less interchangeable concepts? (...

Sat 5 Nov 2011, 2:42 pm Hi Ryan, Thanks for the thorough reply. Very helpful, and much appreciated. It clarifies up a lot. I have the clinical version of Alive! now, but the experience I related about inconsistent results determine ideal berating rate goes back months to when I first got Alive, the ...

Thu 3 Nov 2011, 3:46 pm Hi Ryan, This question goes back a few months to when I first started using Alive! I used the Optimal Breathing Thingy three times and got three different results for optimal breathing rate. I didn't really understand the concept at the time--and as the Optimal Breathing Thin...

Sat 15 Oct 2011, 11:03 am Good Morning, Quick question: Are there any guidelines about when to increase (or otherwise adjust) the smoothness difficulty levels? Is there a certain percentage or something? Say, if you are consistently averaging 75%, do you go to the next level, or what? Thanks, lah! R...

Wed 12 Oct 2011, 10:22 am Good Morning Ryan, One more, and then I'll leave you alone for awhile! I currently have Alive! 1.6.1 and am considering upgrading to the Clinical version. I just want to confirm that the $250 Clinical Upgrade in the shopping carts means upgrading from the personal v. 1.6.1 ...
