Hey, it’s Dan the Man sending you some good vibes on this lovely day. Today I want to drop a little love bomb on my favourite session here at Vortex (don’t tell the other sessions). That would be our one-and-only, NuCalm. Come along as I regale you on a brief history of our relationship with this incredible system… and then I’ve got a really cool announcement on how you can take a bit of the Vortex experience home with you! But first…

a new kind of calm

If you’ve been reading The Vibe for a while, you know how much I love NuCalm. With its unmatched ability to put your body into a stressless and restorative state (plus give you the benefits of 2-4 hours of sleep in one session!), it’s no wonder it’s our most popular offering here. It’s an incredible tool to help you keep your $#!% together, and every time I feel tired, stressed, anxious or bitchy, it’s my go-to.

I first discovered NuCalm while doing research and development for the studio. I went from skeptical to blown away pretty quickly. Along the way, it has helped me fight off my first ever panic attack, and has been a reliable source for stress relief on more occasions than I can count. I’ve literally done hundreds of sessions! It’s a game changer.

Back when we were in the process of getting Vortex all set up with their systems, my contact at NuCalm was this amazing guy named Bob. Bob is a former Navy Seal who, most unfortunately, had suffered from intense PTSD due to his time in the military. He had seen and done things that caused him to have pretty wild night terrors for a long time.

As the story goes, eventually he was given a NuCalm system. Within only a few sessions, Bob’s night terrors were gone. Isn’t that wild!?

So how could that possibly happen without therapy or pharmaceutical intervention? Easy – NuCalm was originally invented for PTSD and was designed to shift the brain and body into a state of stressless repair where traumatic energy can be processed from the body without a physical or emotional response. Pretty amazing, huh?

What’s cool is, Bob had such a dramatic shift in his life that he asked to work for the company! He also told me that he “gently forces” his teenagers to do NuCalm every day and it’s helped their day-to-day life dramatically. Damn, I wish I had NuCalm as a teen!

From insomnia to grief to PTSD to anxiety to performance enhancement, NuCalm really does check so many boxes and takes overall wellness to the next-level.

If you still haven’t done a session, here’s how it works:

• You wear a light-blocking eye mask to trick your body into thinking it’s nighttime.
• You toss on noise-cancelling headphones to soak up the dynamic frequencies.
• You listen to the track, which sounds like meditation music and nature sounds, and your brain starts to “off-gas” a little bit with random thoughts (and sometimes even images). The next thing you know, you’re heavy, but light. Awake, but not. Floating but grounded. It’s a powerful and paradoxical experience, but always amazing.

Like Bob felt after forming his NuCalm obsession, I always say, if I didn’t work for Vortex, I would work for NuCalm – it’s totally changed my life and as a busy entrepreneur and active human who puts out a lot of energy, I honestly don’t know how I’d get by without it. Also, they’re just an amazing company all around; small but mighty, their mission is to create a world where stress and anxiety is a choice.

Imagine a world where everyone had a calm mind and regulated nervous system! What a different place this planet would be.

the stress avengers

Alright, enough chit-chat – we’ve got some exciting news here!

I recently reached out to CEO of NuCalm, Jim Poole, and told him how, after two years, we’ve done hundreds and hundreds of NuCalm sessions and that it’s our most popular session. I also told him I wanted to be able to offer NuCalm to people who can’t come to Vortex all the time. I got the best response ever!

\Lucky for us (and the world), NuCalm has launched a team of wellness warriors called the NuCalm Stress Avengers – and Vortex is now officially part of this superhero crew! We’re in some good company too: right now the Stress Avengers include self-help guru Tony Robbins, renowned biohacker Ben Greenfield, bestselling author Deepak Chopra… and now Team Vortex! I’m totally fan-girling over here.

What does this mean? For those who want to experience the “home version” of NuCalm, we’re now able to offer you a FREE 7-day trial of NuCalm and, beyond that, if you decide to purchase their monthly or annual subscription, we get to give you 15% off FOR LIFE (yes, I said FOR LIFE!). All you have to do is apply the code “VORTEX” (easy enough to remember, right?) and you’re good to go.

NuCalm used to be an FDA Class III Medical Device with electrodes and creams and a super expensive system involved. Luckily, it’s now available in a convenient, affordable mobile app. All you need is the App, noise-cancelling headphones and a light-blocking eye mask.

So how does this differ from the “Vortex version” of NuCalm? Firstly, sometimes it’s nice to get out of the space that causes you stress (aka your home or office) so you can switch up the vibe. Then, obviously Vortex has its cozy private Pods with loungers, blankets and luxury eye masks. The biggest difference, though, is that at Vortex we use the NuCalm biosignal processing disc. “What the heck is that?” you might ask?

The NuCalm Biosignal Processing Disc is an innovative accessory that activates the parasympathetic nervous system to enhance relaxation by increasing GABA production, and telling your stress response to “shhhhhhhh”. I love these discs because they really take your NuCalm session to an even deeper restorative level.

The good news is, NuCalm works reliably and effectively every time, with or without a biosignal processing disc. It’s just a matter of how deep you want to go. We do have the discs available for purchase, or you can order through NuCalm. But right now you can try it without and start shifting your state today!

We’re so thrilled to be able to give people a chance to take a little bit of the Vortex experience home. If you want to jump on board the NuCalm Train to a NoStressVille, click here! And, of course, if you have any questions, we love talkin’ NuCalm so reach out!

Now we just need to figure out how to get everyone an infrared sauna, Somadome, red light and the rest of our sessions for home ;)

Maybe one day… but for now, come on it and see us when you need to get your wellness on!
