Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a method of developing awareness of various physiological processes that are typically thought to be outside our voluntary control or will. It is performed using computerized instrumentation and sensors that read certain physiological processes such as muscle tone, brain-waves, skin conductance, skin temperature, heart rate and respiration rate/quality.
When these techniques are employed, they enable the individual the ability to better regulate their own autonomic nervous system and brain function for overall improved health, wellness, and performance. By becoming more aware and mindful of one’s thoughts, emotions and behaviors in conjunction with the physiological processes, one can obtain a more balanced, harmonized life.
