Meet the feeling in your body
Somatic Awareness Mode is a guided practice for noticing how emotion shows up in your body — heart rate, breath and HRV, shown in real time on Apple Vision Pro. Use it on your own or alongside your therapist. It is not licensed clinical care, and not a replacement for it.
Awareness, before words
Emotion is physical before it is verbal — a tightening chest, a held breath, a quickening pulse. Somatic Awareness Mode gives you a calm, private space to turn toward those signals with curiosity instead of away from them. BAM tracks your live biometrics across Apple Watch and HealthKit and reflects them back as a gentle color, so what your body is carrying becomes something you can actually see and stay with. This is a somatic-awareness practice for self-reflection — not licensed clinical care, and not a replacement for working with a qualified professional.
Somatic Awareness mode runs on the same patented loop as Wellness and Performance; see the science behind it.
How a session holds you
TrackBAM reads your heart rate, heart-rate variability and breath in real time from Apple Watch and iPhone through HealthKit — the felt sense, made visible.
EvaluateYour signals are placed on the four-state color scale, naming your level of activation in the moment without judgment or interpretation.
Adaptive deliveryThe space responds to where you are — softening the prompt, slowing the pacing, inviting you to stay with a sensation or gently come back toward baseline.
Re-measureBAM keeps watching as you settle, closing the loop so you can witness your own physiology shift as you meet what you are feeling.
A shared language for what you feel
One protected color scale runs through every BAM session. In Somatic Awareness Mode it becomes a tender mirror: green when you are settled and resourced, yellow as feeling begins to stir, orange when activation asks for care, and red as a signal to pause, ground, and reach for support. The scale describes your state in the moment — it never diagnoses, and it is not a measure of clinical risk.
GreenParasympathetic · baseline · recovery · growth
YellowMild activation · worth noticing
OrangeSignificant arousal · caution
RedHigh activation · pause and recover
Held, not handled
Somatic Awareness Mode is built to keep you safe, sovereign and clear about what this practice is — and what it is not.
Yours alone
Sessions are private and reflective. Your biometrics live in Apple Health, on your terms, never traded for anyone else's view of you.
A practice, not a verdict
Colors describe physiological activation in the moment. They are awareness cues for self-reflection, not diagnoses or clinical assessments.
Alongside real care
Somatic Awareness is built to complement the support of a licensed professional, not to replace therapy, counseling, or medical care. Keep working with the people who care for you; BAM is designed to make that work richer.
Built to extend the work you do together
Somatic Awareness is designed to sit alongside human-led therapy, not replace it. Clients can practice noticing their body between sessions, and the four-color scale gives client and therapist a shared, concrete language for what happened: “I went orange when we talked about work.”
For people in therapy
Practice between sessions in a private space, and bring what you noticed back into the room. Your data stays yours; you decide what to share.
For therapists
A real-time window on physiological activation that can support somatic and body-based work. We are building clinician features with practitioners; tell us what would help your practice.
If you are in crisis
Stop the session and call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, US), or your local emergency number. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
