Using TouchPoints

See the step-by-step guide below to pair your devices and start your first session.

Modes & Uses

Blue

The blue light is the first and slowest speed on your TouchPoints. The slow/blue setting is recommended to improve sleep, or meditate.

Yellow

The yellow light is the second and medium speed on your TouchPoints. The medium/yellow setting is recommended to reduce stress and improve focus.

Purple

The purple light is the third and fastest speed on your TouchPoints. The fast/purple speed is recommended to manage anger and reduce agitation.

Green

A green standby light displays when the follower device is searching for the lead TouchPoint to pair with. Once it finds the lead, the light will change to the lead's setting (blue, yellow, or purple). The green light will also briefly display right before each TouchPoint powers off.

Red

The red light will display when TouchPoints are charging, and disappear when TouchPoints are fully charged. If the TouchPoint shows a red light while off the charger, it needs to be charged.

Key

Lead Device (L)

First device powered on. Used to select setting.

Follower Device (F)

Second device powered on. Mimics setting from the lead.

Either device can be a lead or follower based on which one is powered on first. The lights on your TouchPoints will help you sync your devices to the preferred setting and know when they're charging.

Step-by-Step Guide

Press the button on the lead device twice to turn on and activate the blue setting.

Pairing

Face the lights of both TouchPoints together and press the button on the follower device once. The light on the follower will match the color of the lead, and the devices will vibrate in an alternating pattern.

Settings

If desired, change settings by pressing the button on the lead device again while both TouchPoints' lights are facing each other.

Destressing

Place one TouchPoint on each side of the body and feel the calming vibrations. Note: the average user wears TouchPoints for 20 minutes in the morning or evening, or as needed throughout the day.

Power Off

To manually turn off, hold the TouchPoints away from each other and press the button on each until you see the green light. Your TouchPoints for Sleep kit will also auto shut off after 30 minutes.

When to Use 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. For use case specific instructions, visit the Encyclopedia of Uses.

Before Bedtime

Sleep requires relaxation, and sometimes we're too wound up to relax. Use TouchPoints for 30 minutes while in bed prior to sleep, or if woken up in the middle of the night. TouchPoints for Sleep will automatically shut off after 30 minutes.

On-the-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.

Important: We do not recommend using TouchPoints before bedtime the first few times you use them. Wait until you are more comfortable with the sensation of BLAST, otherwise the unfamiliar stimulation may be activating (upregulating) rather than calming (downregulating), which could make it harder to relax.

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: If you're unsure which mode to use, 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 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!

FAQ

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.

TouchPoints do not treat or cure any medical conditions but can help manage the underlying stress that accompanies many conditions in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.
