So I have a vague theory as to why this might work. It’s kind of nuts, but given that the product works for you at all is kind of nuts, so here we are.
During meditation many people will start to spontaneously rhythmically rock back and forth or side to side as they enter jhana states. This generally coincides with greater feelings of joy, contentment, and focus. I’m not sure why this happens, but I’ve seen lots of people do it and I do it myself. My best guess is this has something to do with brain wave harmonics.
My guess is that the vibrations of this device are causing the wearer’s nervous system to create brain wave harmonies, which have a bunch of positive effects.
I don’t have much evidence to support me here, just speculation, so please treat it as such.

This is the theory behind a lot of entrainment tech, but the entrainment hypothesis always seems to disappear when subjected to more data. But for some reason it still feels intuitively like there should be something there.
My guess is that the alternation unsticks the nervous system to gently chill SNS activation, but am suspicious in my belief that it just happens to match a mechanism I already know about and like.
This is where my mind went first, too. I have no evidence either and haven’t tried it myself, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if there were simple ways rhythmic stimuli could induce brain states. The right kinds of music can help induce sleep or meditative states or hypnosis, so why not vibration?

I’m suspicious of my theory for the same reason.
