Re: Biofeedback treatment

[Guest guest]

Hi Sherry,

Wow, this takes me back. It was suggested to me in about 1968. I was

only 16 then and wanted no part of it, lol, among other things that

were 'offered'.

About ten years ago during my mother's illness, my therapist mentioned

it to me as a way of 'calming down', but by then I assurred himm I had

enough meditation under my skin I could calm myself (duh - it was just

a very hard year for me watching Mom slowly glide on to the next life)

Thus far I have not attempted biofeedback. Life, meditation, my 12

steps and nature seem to calm me more than anything - oh yes, and

working out in the pool in the dark (very embryonic)

of meditation.Am I wrong in my thinking?

Hello Sherry,

Technically, it's more like a lie detector test. The conductivity of

your skin and electrical impulses to muscles are reduced with

relaxation. A base level of this activity is adjusted to and the

machine provides a signal to indicate lower levels of activity such

as a variable frequency tone or ticking noise. When the relaxing is

effective by use of trained techniques, the base point is reset until

a minimum activity is reached. The sensations derived from the

practice are the indicators for future use of the technique so that

the machine is really a training aid and not an integral part of the

practice.
