Heart Rate Variability Based Biofeedback Training: Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart
In biofeedback training, you will see on the screen of the computer how your thoughts and breathing affect your body’s functioning (heart rate variability) in real time. You will learn a coping tool that will stay with you forever.
Biofeedback training is different from talk therapy. In biofeedback training, you are not sharing much about your life, rather your shares surround the skills you’re learning. We will teach you diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness techniques that are associated with the activation of your parasympathetic nervous system - your rest and digest system.
When you are frustrated, angry, anxious, your graph is sporadic, it consists of short lines and sharp edged.
When you are calm and relaxed, your graph becomes predictably wavy, with long lines and soft edges, we call it “a coherence state”. Once you are in the coherence state, you will feel relaxation, calm and peace in your body, your thoughts will stop jumping around like wild rabbits and you will feel a sense of pleasant stillness.
