Biofeedback is a process whereby electronic monitoring is used to help a person self-regulate mood and behavior, thereby achieving optimal performance which can relieve symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Biofeedback will give information on what is happening in your body in real time so that you can learn how thoughts and emotions effect your physiology and behavior. Biofeedback will give you the information to see those subtle changes and allow the participant to make changes towards self regulation and and a healthier positive attitude and lifestyle.
So what does that mean for you?
Biofeedback is a mind-body technique that involves using visual or auditory feedback to gain control over involuntary bodily functions. This may include gaining voluntary control over such things as heart rate, muscle tension, pain perception, and brainwave activity.
Neurofeedback, or EEG biofeedback, is brain exercise. We observe and monitor your brain in action from moment to moment by using sensors. By monitoring your brain waves, we can show you your brain activity, and we help you change it by rewarding shifts toward a more appropriate and stable brain state. This is a gradual learning process as you learn self-regulation skills.
Good self-regulation is necessary for optimal brain function, and enhances the function of the central nervous system and thereby improves mental performance, emotional control, and physiological stability .
Below are home biofeedback devices to help you remain consistent in your training and progress.

FocusCalm
I use several home devices. I love FocusCalm for neurofeedback. FocusCalm is a brain-sensing headband and app that helps you learn to control your mindset in just a few minutes per day. Incubated in the Harvard Innovation Lab in 2015, FocusCalm uses games, exercises, and meditations to measure mental strain in real time and teaches users to lower it at will. Using proven neurofeedback and brain training principles, FocusCalm trains your brain to be calmer and more clear.
It’s like putting your brain on a treadmill to exercise certain regulatory functions to train new habits.

Heartmath Inner Balance Home Device
The core of the HeartMath philosophy is that the heart, physically and metaphorically, is the key to tapping into an intelligence that can provide us with fulfillment. Science has shown that the heart communicates with the body and brain on various different levels.
- The heart sends neurological information to the brain and the rest of the body.
- Through the pulse, the heart sends energy in the form of a blood pressure wave. Researchers have seen that changes in the electrical activity of brain cells occur in relation to the changes in the blood pressure wave.
- The heart communicates on a biochemical level, releasing atrial peptide, a hormone that inhibits the release of other stress hormones.
- The heart communicates electromagnetically. An EKG measured in the doctor’s office is actually an electrical signal produced by the heart. This signal can be picked up anywhere on the body, and permeates the space around us.
HeartMath has taken this information, and translated it into simple tools that focus on teaching us how to listen to, and follow, the intuitive information of the heart. We can learn how to better make decisions, and to use the power of the heart to manage the mind and emotions.
