✅Create a Routine
Daily, consistent use is critical to getting the benefits of Micropulsing. To ensure consistent use, integrate Micropulsing into your existing daily routines. A daily walk, a long commute, while working, reading or watching TV in the evening—all are great opportunities to add Micropulsing to your day. Choose a time and place that fits your lifestyle to make it a regular part of your day.

Here's how one person maintains consistent use: "I use it in the morning every day. I keep it on my kitchen counter where I can see it. I put it on before I start making breakfast."

Even when your routine is interrupted by travel or something unexpected, doing what you can to continue your Micropulsing program will help to ensure you continue to get the most benefit from Micropulsing. The Silver Pulser is completely portable, making it easier to take it with you.

✅Keep it Handy
Once you've determined when to incorporate the Silver Pulser into your daily routine, keep your unit and accessories in an easily accessible spot—a place where you will see it and be reminded to Micropulse. For example, if you plan to Micropulse in the evening, keep the unit where your evening routine happens—if you read, keep the unit with your book or if you watch TV, keep it where you sit.

One frequent user says: "I keep it at my desk at work because that's where I'm seated for a long period of time. I use the Silver Pulser right after lunch."

✅Be Prepared
Being prepared means you minimize any disruptions to your Micropulsing routine ... by ensuring you are well–stocked with needed accessories: dropper bottle with water to wet the Sponge Sleeves, extra batteries, extra Sponge Sleeves and extra Rubber Probes. With the necessary accessories conveniently at hand, your Micropulsing routine can continue without interruption.

✅Listen to Your Body
During the early days of use, if you feel you've "overdone" it, simply reduce the amount of time you Micropulse each day. Even if you need to take a couple days off – that is okay. When ready, once again start slowly, building up the time gradually to eventually Micropulse for at least two hours or more daily. Drinking plenty of water—especially both before and after each Micropulsing session is important. Drinking some freshly ozonated water gives added benefit.

A helpful part of the process of a wellness journey is acknowledging the triumphs as well as the bumps in the road. Keeping a journal of your experiences is a great way to track the overall benefits on your wellness journey. Looking back can be a great motivator when you see the changes that have come over time.

And a tip this week for all you WOZees out there (people who use the SOTA Water Ozonator)!

Deciding WHERE you set up your unit for ozonating can impact the life of your unit.

Your Water Ozonator creates ozone from the surrounding air and so it is best to expose your ozonator to the freshest and cleanest air possible.

If you have your Water Ozonator near your stove, please do not ozonate water while you are cooking. The cooking oils may get into the ozone chamber which over time will require the ozone tube to be cleaned.

The SOTA Bio Tuner features six modes to choose from.

Which one should you use? It’s really a matter of personal preference and comfort. Since all six modes are equally beneficial, you can choose the mode that feels best to you … the one that “resonates” with you, so to speak.

You may notice that Modes 1, 2, and 3 tend to feel stronger, and 4, 5, and 6 feel more gentle; this is due to the difference in pulse width.

Did you know— Modes 3 and 6 are modulated by 7.83 Hz, also known as the "Schumann (Earth) Sine Wave". Some people feel modes 3 and 6 enhance their meditation efforts. Give it a try and see what you think!

✅Create a Routine
Daily, consistent use is critical to getting the benefits from your Bio Tuner—it is best to use it daily for at least 4 weeks. And the best way to do that is to incorporate the Bio Tuner into your existing daily routines. Enjoy a daily walk or like to read or watch TV in the evening? These are all great opportunities to add the relaxing benefits of the Bio Tuner to your day. Choose a time and place that fits your lifestyle and make it a regular part of your day.

One person reported: "I use the Bio Tuner while reading in bed as it helps me have a better sleep."

Even when your routine is interrupted by travel or unexpected events, doing what you can to continue your Bio Tuner program will help to ensure you continue to get the most benefit from the unit. The Bio Tuner is completely portable, making it easier for you to continue with your Wellness Program.

✅Keep it Handy
Once you've determined when to integrate the Bio Tuner into your daily routine, keep your unit and accessories in an easily accessible spot. When you see them, you will be reminded to use it. For example, if you like to read in the evenings, keep the unit with your book. The relaxed feeling you get from using the Bio Tuner may be all the motivation you need to use it daily!

Here's what works for others:
"I keep my Bio Tuner on the nightstand beside my bed – all ready for me to use it at night."

"I keep my Bio Tuner on my desk at work. My co–workers think I'm listening to music as I work, when I'm actually using my Bio Tuner."

✅Be Prepared
Always being prepared will help minimize any disruptions to your routine. Keep both extra batteries and extra Conductive Rubber Electrodes on hand. That way, you can quickly replace a drained battery or Rubber Electrodes that have lost their conductivity.

✅Listen to Your Body
A helpful part of the process of a wellness journey is acknowledging the triumphs as well as the bumps in the road. Keeping a journal of your experiences is a great way to track the overall benefits on your wellness journey. Looking back can be a great motivator when you see the changes that have come over time.

What are Sleeves for? What options do I have?

Probe sleeves are an important part of the Micropulsing process, as they provide a way to safely and evenly distribute the gentle microcurrents of electricity over pulse points on your wrist.

You have several options available to you. Experiment and see what you prefer!

Sponge Sleeves: Rectangular blocks of natural cellulose sponge with a pre-made hole for the probes.

Benefit: More conductive as they hold moisture more efficiently so the sleeves don’t dry out as fast. Customers also report that they experience less skin irritation with Sponge Sleeves.

All Cotton Sleeves.

Cotton Sleeves with Velcro®: Like the All Cotton Sleeves but one side is cotton and the other side is Velcro® which can be attached to the Wrist Strap.

Benefit: Once attached to the Wrist Strap they easily stay in place use after use.

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Sleeves: Make your own using paper towel or cotton flannel. Wrap a small square of paper towel or cotton flannel around the probes. If needed secure in place by wrapping with some cotton thread.

Benefit: An inexpensive to make your own.

Watch Russ demonstrate how to make your own Sleeves from common household items: https://youtu.be/sZXtd5Cbk3I.

For best results periodically clean Cotton and Sponge Sleeves with water and mild soap. Sleeves can last 3-6 months or more before they need changing. You’ll know they need replacing if they start falling apart or looking really dirty.

All sleeve options can be used with Silver Probes or Conductive Rubber Probes. They are all held in place by the Wrist Strap.
