Fall into Relaxation

Fall into Relaxation

My office is offering free GSR 2 demonstrations until the end of the year.
The GSR 2 is a portable biofeedback device. By translating tension-related changes in skin pores into a rising or falling tone the GSR 2 monitors and “feedsback” stress levels. By resting two fingers on the sensing plates you learn to lower the pitch and your body’s stress level. This small handheld device measures Galvanic Skin Resistance (GSR).

Benefits of Biofeedback:

• Learn psychological stress and anxiety management.
• Improve focus and concentration.
• Deep Relaxation.
• Gain control of your emotional states without the side effects of drugs.
• Enhance your meditation experience.
• Reduce or eliminate anxiety before exams, meetings or public speaking.

Contact my office for details.

Summer 2009

Summer in New Jersey is here. It is a great time for relaxing and enjoying yourself! These sunny days offer special opportunities to have fun with outdoor activities. We can enjoy the color filled landscapes, warm summer air and the scents of this wonderful season. As we pay attention to the changes in our environment – we become aware of the tranquility of the present moment. We relax.
A great way to monitor your relaxation and biofeedback progress is with the newest addition to the wide range of services offered by my office.
Heart rate variability training is now available! The portable unit is perfect for training outdoors during this time of year! Hand held and easy to use.
Heart rate variability training includes monitoring breathing while guiding its improvement. It has been found that deep and slow breathing can have a positive effect on health. The specific advantage of heart rate variability training is that the breathing exercises are customized for you. We all breathe differently and the feedback on the device is individualized. It is as easy and as much fun as playing a video game with your breath.
Try it !
Throughout the month of August I will be offering free biofeedback heart rate variability demonstrations. Contact the office for available times.
