    We're a tad skeptical that an app and a sensor can help you destress and "rebalance the mind and emotions," but give HeartMath the benefit of the doubt for the moment. The company's new Inner Balance app and accompanying sensor use emWave technology to monitor stress levels -- which primarily means monitoring your pulse. The app then helps guide you towards "an optimal state in which the heart, mind and emotions are operating in-sync" through exercises. The monitor clips to the users earlobe and plugs into an iOS device via a standard, old-school 30-pin connector. The app, for its part, spits out a "coherence" reading along with guides for breathing exercises and fancy "gentle" animations. The Inner Balance app and HeartMath Sensor for iOS will both land on February 1st, with the dongle setting you back $99. It's not cheap, but seems like one of the more affordable options for getting your chakras aligned. For more, check out the PR after the break. Follow all the latest CES 2013 news at our event hub.
