Biofeedback Machine for Christmas!

Are you wondering what to buy that special person for Christmas – you know the one who already has everything – it can be quite a dilemma can’t it?   Well, don’t let it become a worry, as many things can these days, because Christmas is a time for rejoicing not for getting stressed out. It is easy enough to become stressed about all sorts of things so how about something that is designed to counter stress? Something that is innovative and useful with the potential to help you relax, and consequentially improve health. Something that can turn your home computer into a biofeedback machine.

Some computer games have a bad name.  There is no doubt that they are very popular with many youngsters, including children and a lot of older people as well.    However, some parents are worried about the effect these games have on their offspring, especially as they may seem to become addictive, and include unsuitable material such as violence.  Well there are alternatives, and a significant one is a computer assisted biofeedback machine.

A biofeedback machine is used as a treatment procedure, by which people are able to improve their health by using signals from their own bodies. Psychologists use them to assist stressed and anxious patients to learn to relax. Specialists in many different fields use biofeedback. Whenever possible, some people prefer to help themselves, and this is where a computer assisted biofeedback machine can help them to develop their inner resources. It would certainly be a Christmas box with a difference – So why not take The Journey to Wild Divine?


Step out of time and into a realm of endless possibility, where you'll practice breathing and meditation techniques, like the heart breath, an ancient yogic breathing technique that will help you achieve control over your responses to situations in life, including stressful situations. Wearing three active feedback finger sensors that track your responses, you'll learn to use the power of your thoughts, feelings, breath and awareness to:

• Increase relaxation & stop feeling "stressed out"
• Restore balance and vitality
• Improve focus, concentration, and perform at your optimized peak
• Learn the Life Changing skill of "Recovery" and melt the toxic effects of stress automatically



Build stairways with your breath, open doors with meditation, juggle balls with your laughter, and so much more. The Passage makes active feedback, a popular method of self exploration, easily accessible and empowers you to take control of yourself, literally, into your own hands.

Practice Natural Health

I have read an interesting article about ways to praactice natural health and I have included an excerpt below as it is certainly worth a second look. It is surprising that there are many people, sometimes through no fault of their own, who don’t look after themselves properly. In one sense to coin the old Harold McMillan phrase, you’ve never had it so good, but in another sense it is probably true that life has become ever more competitive.

It should be within the capacity of everybody to practice natural health, but even if that were true there are many that would choose not to. It may well be that people don’t always appreciate how lucky they are until something goes wrong. Then many are ill equipped to cope. Fortunately we live in the Internet age, but even that can be a blessing or a curse. Like most things it depends on how you use it, or perhaps, how you have been taught to use it. Anyway this practical natural health article is worth a look, and it links to many other articles that may be of interest.

Extract from Practice Natural Health:

Just think for a moment about the three words practice natural health, and consider how they fit into your own lifestyle.

Many books about family health tend to concentrate on orthodox or allopathic medicine. Phenomenal sums of money are spent on a multitude of ways of helping people to overcome some medical condition or other. It is for sure that not enough attention is paid to encourage people to aim to live a natural health lifestyle to minimize the chances of becoming ill in the first place. Most people agree that prevention is better than cure, but for one reason or another they do not practice natural health, and frequently become ill.

There are so many ways to practice natural health to keep fit and enjoy life in the company of like-minded friends. Fitness centers are well equipped and offer a wide variety of training programs. Classes are available and frequently offer reduced rates for those on limited incomes. There is something for everybody, so whether you are interested in martial arts, yoga, basketball, or any one of dozens of other pursuits that will benefit your natural health lifestyle, suitable training and facilities are there to be used. Of course there are almost unlimited opportunities to study academic subjects as well, but for the moment we are more concerned with your natural health lifestyle to help you avoid being poorly.

Memory Improvement Using Essential Oils of Aromatherapy


There is an interesting article entitled "Memory Improvement Tips Using Essential Oils of Aromatherapy", recently posted at the Aromatherapy-advice website.

The article explains how the essential oils of aromatherapy can be utilised for memory improvement. Memory may be something that we normally take for granted but we would despair without it. The quality of our social life and our ability at work owes much to our memory. You only have to remember how Prime Minister David Cameron was lauded for delivering a speech at the Conservative Party conference without notes. This was a feat repeated by Ed Milliband the Labour leader at this years Labour Party conference. It shows what can be achieved by the development of a clear memory, and it is well to know that therre are tools to assist memory faculties. One such tool is the essential oils of aromatherapy, which is more adequately explained on the aromatherapy-advice website.

An extract from the article is reproduced below:

Don’t despair if your memory is poor as the essential oils of aromatherapy can assist. The fragrances relax your mind to facilitate a receptive memory. Using essential oils in aromatherapy in the office will help you to remember important events, and assist you in concentrating your attention on those things that really matter. An added benefit is that being more relaxed you are unlikely to become stressed out and irritable.

What is Mindfulness

Personal health care should start with self care which permits you to exert some control over your own well being. Mindfulness is increasingly popular as a way taking an active role in enhancing your state of health, competence and happiness.

There are several definitions of mindfulness including:

Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally (Kabat-Zinn, 1994) and more simply:

Keeping one’s consciousness alive to the present reality (Hanh, 1976; cited in Brown & Ryan, 2003)

The following is extracted from the Mindfulness Yoga website:

Mindfulness has expanded from its spiritual roots to become a technique that many physicians are advocating to deal with stress related conditions that frequently lead to pain and illnesses ranging from relatively mild to very severe. Psychologists have found that mindfulness offers a way of examining compulsive thinking and introducing ways and means that counter obsessive thinking. It has become apparent that many people are not really controlling their thoughts so much as being possessed by their thoughts.

Because mindfulness is proving to be such an excellent means of relieving stress and the suffering and diseases associated with it, it is becoming increasingly popular. It is delivered by professional people in medical centres in the United States and elsewhere and some large businesses have realised how beneficial it can be for their executives and others that they are introducing in house courses. At a time when so many stress related conditions are treated with prescription drugs, and others are self medicating with substance abuse, or turning to alcohol, it is great to be able to report that less invasive and very successful other treatments are available.

Fortunately there is no shortage of natural health advice.

It is unfortunate that as world economies have grown stress related illnesses have grown disproportionately. In such circumstances it is good to know that there are sensible alternatives to this modern phenomenon. Mindfulness has been shown to be one of the best techniques to counter this trend and is proving to be of enormous benefit to individuals, and in many instances, the companies they work for.
