Fear, overeating, smoking, anxiety and other problems are linked to, or aggravated by stress. For some, stress is a stimulant to effective action, but for others it's a barrier to self-fulfillment. The secret is knowing your reaction to stress, and using this new awareness as a springboard to a life in control. A life where you can release the powers of the mind for greater achievement and better health. Biofeedback is the widely used and accepted technique for teaching us to control stress, achieve relaxation, and channel talents and energies toward realizing our full potential. Our home biofeedback devices make you aware of your unconscious "involuntary" physical reactions to stress- "feeding back" subtle changes in stress levels. You'll be able to hear or see changes in your stress level.
