This is a one-day, ten-hour, intensive certification in biofeedback, leading to the mastery of the most affordable and practical biofeedback system available today.
The instructor will introduce you to the secrets of the Autonomic Deep-Breathing Response (ADB response). Biofeedback courses, yoga, and scientific literature praise the benefits of deep breathing. However, none of them provide a clear exposition of what the ADB response is, so that the practitioner can truly access its full benefits. It is ONLY when you access the ADB response that you can derive the rejuvenating, stress reducing, health-enhancing and spiritual benefits of deep breathing. Otherwise, you are simply forcing air in and out of your lungs with little to no results – possibly doing more harm than good. This key aspect of the autonomic nervous system has perhaps, never before, been comprehensively explained.
Clear understanding of the ADB response, and proper practice, with the help of biofeedback equipment, leads to mastery over the ADB response. This mysterious response of the body opens the door to healing, rejuvenation, pain control, deep meditation and natural happiness.
In this one day intensive biofeedback certification you will learn the following:
1- Biofeedback Equipment: How to use the most healing, practical, easiest, coolest and affordable biofeedback equipment available today. This Biofeedback System has been used successfully to decrease stress, ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, physical pain, relationship difficulties, and so on.
2- Assessment: The Assessment Interview, and the baseline biofeedback reading a powerful assessment tool.
3- Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Its impact on human physiology. The hidden connection between HRV, cardiovascular health and youth and life extension.
4- Entrainment or Coherence: What is entrainment or coherence. How it can be produced at will. How it can happen without engaging the will. Coherence and relaxation. Coherence and mental health.
5-Conscious Breathing Techniques: 1- The Zen Rhythmic Breathing (RB). 2- Alternate Nostrils the most valuable pranayam. How RB and this ancient pranayam can be useful in the biofeedback training with clients; and their limitations and pitfalls.Why the entrainment of heart and breath leads to entrainment of the brain's hemispheres, and vice-versa. The relation between deep meditation and balancing the brain hemispheres. 3- The Suggestion/relaxation breathing technique (SRB Technique)
6- The ADB Response. Why it has never been comprehensively explained and the consequences of this absence of clarity.
7- The Powerful Awareness Methods to Trigger the ADB Response in Oneself and Clients. 1- The concentration technique and its limitations. 2- The heart centered technique -- pros and cons. 3- The powerful "Yes technique." 4- The Backwards Imagination Technique (BI Technique) 5- The amazing Hakalau and its impact on HRV and coherence. 6- The " Open Focus technique." 7- Meditation -- shifting the attention from mind to Consciousness -- is the greatest technique. The use of pointers to enter Consciousness. Impact of meditation on HRV and coherence. Hand on use of pointers to help the client access Consciousness.
8- From Multiplicity to Oneness: Realization of the Oneness that unites us all is the ultimate goal in meditation. The student learns a meditation approach to access this final state.
9- The Three Steps Meditation(TSM) Approach : Here the student learns this easy, practical, three-step meditation approach. TSM is extremely effective at triggering the ADB response and an entry to the meditation state in Consciousness.
10- Mending Relationships with Biofeedback Therapy. Using biofeedback training to harmonize dysfunctional couples.
