More people are looking for a way to help
the body restore itself to a healthy, well functioning state of
being. Of course, we want to be able to do it in an easy,
non-invasive way. I have personally been on this search for years. I
have gone from one modality to another, finding value in each one
I’ve tried, yet not finding the exact thing I was searching for. As
I explored many methods, I eventually discovered that I was most
drawn to energy work.
As time passed, I was introduced to Bioenergetics and Quantum
Biofeedback. It is here I found a method that supports the body with
the very energy that the body functions with. I became so excited
that I purchased a system and went through the training. While
working with friends, pets and even a few horses, I could see the
benefits that all were receiving. I knew it was what I had been
searching for. Now my search is not for a new modality, but the
ability to share this with as many people as possible, to help
others reduce their stress and discover how their lives are
enhanced.
So, what is Quantum Biofeedback and how will it help you?
Biofeedback is a non-invasive, therapeutic technology designed to
scan and harmonize the body energetically, thus reducing stress and
imbalance. Less stress on the body means less dis-ease (primarily a
stress response). We have all heard and read for many years the
growing information from doctors, acupuncturists, chiropractors,
dentists, homeopaths, nutritionists, veterinarians, massage
therapists, etc., that stress kills, and that we need to reduce our
stress levels to improve our health. Quantum Biofeedback is just
such an energetic therapy designed to reduce the stress in the body
and support one’s well being.
It is a fact that every cell in our body operates with a certain
frequency unique to that cell, group, and/or system. Viruses, fungi,
bacteria, and parasites all have resonant frequencies. Sound and
color also have frequencies. You may have noticed your moods and
emotions changing by just being present with certain colors, or how
music may change the way you are feeling at a given moment. This is
because all of these energies have their own frequency, and our
bodies react accordingly.
In simple terms, biofeedback is a way for our body to communicate.
That is, it gives our body a voice. And when we really understand
what our body is trying to say, great things happen. Biofeedback
trains the body to react to the outside world in a more positive and
healthy way. But to understand this, we need to know more about
stress.
Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our responses
to the pressures from the outside world. In short, stress is the way
our body reacts to over-stimulation. By understanding that stress is
a reaction, we can control stress by changing our body’s reaction.
Stress can come from many things — and it does not always have to be
a bad thing. Having a baby, getting married, planning a wedding,
buying a new house, going on vacation — any of these can cause
stress. Stress can come from our emotions, such as fear and
uncertainty. It can also crop up in our lives from change, crime,
deadlines, loss, poor diet, no exercise, bad genes, outside
contaminants, and so on.
Common stress reactions include tension, irritability, an inability
to concentrate, feeling tired and having trouble sleeping. Physical
symptoms may include dry mouth, difficulty breathing, headache,
sweating palm, stomach upset, frequent urination and a fast
heartbeat. The effects of stress vary widely and are different for
each person.
Biofeedback can often help with many of these conditions — and more.
For example, some issues that might be addressed with biofeedback
include: chronic pain, recovery of motor function after stroke,
anxiety, disorders of the digestive system, ADD and ADHD, blood
pressure problems, insomnia, asthma, seizure disorders, addictions,
abnormalities in heart rhythm, and circulatory disorders.
Biofeedback helps people learn to control those physical processes.
And, as people are becoming more aware of alternative medicine
modalities, the more we see biofeedback in use.
There are many biofeedback systems available. The biofeedback device
I use attempts to identify and record subtle informational "stress
potentials" provided by a client during the assessment procedure.
The device (enhanced with light and sound) both gives and receives
signals. It also evaluates and changes the signal/therapy. This
system can detect energetic aberrations (a state or condition
markedly different from the norm) and balance them automatically.
My biofeedback device is a 5-point harness system, meaning five
bands connect you to the system (two armbands, two wristbands and
one headband). The faux leather bands are attached to wires that are
plugged into a box. This box looks a lot like a VCR or DVD Player
that is attached to a laptop computer. In simple terms, the box acts
as a translator, sending decoded information to and from the
computer. So while you are sitting comfortably in a chair, or lying
down on a massage table, or resting on a couch, the system is
checking in with your body.
I find that most people do not even know that the system is working.
Those that do may feel a slight tickle — like a feather brushing
over the skin occasionally. It is a very subtle flow of energy. The
flow (or blockage) of this information reflects a profound system of
communication that demonstrates body/mind interconnection and
intelligence. The result is presented in the form of charts, numbers
and text, making it easy for the technician to interpret and
understand. Over 7000 items are tested, in over 40 categories, such
as Acu-Meridian, Aging/ Miasms, Bones, Chakra/Color, Cosmetic,
Dental, Detoxification, Muscles, Neural Emotional, Pets/Animals, and
Vitamin/Minerals. The whole procedure takes approximately 10
minutes.
The computer evaluates the responses and then challenges the
individual with the information by feeding back healthy frequencies
to the client. Treatment is designed to balance the weaknesses that
are found from the acute/more current issues to the chronic/older
issues. The client’s body uses this information as a self-regulating
tool to redefine areas of stress and muscle tension in the body.
This process assists the body's self-corrective natural defense
mechanisms by encouraging relaxation, balance and harmony.
Quantum biofeedback is designed to assist the body in gaining a more
optimum level of overall health. As such, it is a perfect addition
to other modalities or therapies. When you can reduce stress,
everything else is more effective.
