Biofeedback is a technique which teaches you to control bodily functions, such as your heart rate, with your mind.

Biofeedback has evolved from a fascination in the 1960s and 70s to a mainstream methodology today for treating certain medical conditions and improving human performance.

This evolution has been driven by years of scientific research demonstrating that the mind and body are connected, and that people can be taught to develop the power of this connection to change physical activity and improve health and function.

Modern biofeedback systems, such as Relaxing Rhythms, use comfortable finger sensors to measure your pulse and other physiological indicators of your body/mind state. This input drives the highly engaging meditation-biofeedback exercises displayed on your computer screen so that you can actually see yourself entering into progressively more relaxed  states of body and deeper levels of mind.

The wonderful thing is that gradually you start to integrate the relaxation techniques that you learn when using your biofeedback system into your everyday life. This can have a significant, positive impact on your physical and psychological well-being.

There are also portable, hand-held biofeedback systems, such as the StressEraser.

StressEraser has actually been approved by the FDA (the health regulatory body in America) with an indication for relaxation and stress management.
