Science Based Fun

Biofeedback is a scientifically valid method of learning to control your body's responses.

Various methods and aids have been developed to help people visualize what is happening in their body.  One of these is the mini-dot,  small self-adhesive circles * of  temperature sensitive discs that can be stuck to the skin, where they respond to changes in blood flow through the skin that alter skin temperature. 

When a person is tense and stressed their skin blood vessels constrict, reducing skin blood flow. A mini-dot will appear yellow, amber or black.  When a person is relaxed their skin blood vessels dilate, increasing  blood flow, and skin temperature rises and the dot appears turquoise, blue or violet.

What does this have to do with health issues? Biofeedback, used in conjunction with Hypnosis can help people visualize  and facilitate physical  changes. 

Get Rid of Headaches

As a demonstration of how biofeedback can be used, should you have a headache, before you take medication, try this;
Think Warm hands, Warm hands and using the power of your concentration, think blood into your hands and away from your head.  Many people find this alleviates simple headaches very quickly.  The dot will help you with this visualization.  As your hands become warmer, the colors of the dot will change towards blue-violet, and you will be able to "see" yourself getting rid of your headache. 

Once you have witnessed this for yourself, you will begin to understand how hypnotherapy can be a positive force for you.  As long as your subconscious can be convinced an action will be good for you, it will help you improve your quality of life.   Changing the color of a bio-dot consciously to get rid of a small headache may offer you the proof that you can influence your body with nothing more than concentration and  the power of your mind. Combine that conscious focus with a way to influence the subconscious, and you can reprogram bad habits to good. 

Please note that this demonstration is not intended as a substitute for medical diagnosis.  If you have persistent, severe, or recurring headaches, you should seek medical advise.  There are many conditions can be influenced thru biofeedback and/or hypnosis, but no other single therapy can promise to change all health issues.
