What Is Bilateral Stimulation?

Bilateral stimulation (BLS) is a gentle, rhythmic technique that activates both sides of the body in an alternating pattern. This can be done through eye movements, tapping, or vibrations that go back and forth from left to right. BLS helps calm the nervous system and supports the brain in processing information more effectively. B-Pulse offers an easy and effective way to experience bilateral stimulation through soothing vibrations in each hand, making this powerful tool accessible for both kids and adults. One of the most common therapeutic uses of BLS is in EMDR therapy.

About EMDR Therapy

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is the world’s leading evidence-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The treatment involves clients exploring their traumatic memories in conjunction with bilateral stimulation (BLS), which simply means to engage one or more senses on each side of the body in an alternating pattern. For EMDR, the most basic form of BLS watching the therapist’s finger or a small light go back and forth. However, many clients respond better to tactile BLS, or a combination of sensory inputs. B-Pulse is a tactile BLS solution designed for both child and adult clients.

 

Resourcing and Regulation

Bilateral stimulation can be a helpful tool for promoting emotional regulation and building a sense of stability. In EMDR therapy, this is known as resourcing, where BLS is paired with calming imagery, supportive thoughts, or sensations of safety to help strengthen internal coping strategies. B-Pulse can also be used outside of therapy to support regulation during moments that require focus, transition, or grounding. With customizable vibration settings and the option to sync with calming music, B-Pulse offers a flexible, sensory-friendly way to support emotional balance for both children and adults.
