Meditation

“Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. It often involves turning attention to a single point of reference. Meditation is recognized as a component of almost all religions, and has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It is also practiced outside religious traditions. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual and/or psychophysical practices which may emphasize different goals -- from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.”

What is Neurofeedback?

Most healthcare professionals have associated EEG with the detection of seizures. The fact is, what EEG does best is measure and monitor arousal, i.e., degrees of wakefulness, alertness, and activation in the brain. EEG measures the brain’s electrical activity via the use of electrode sensors, much like tiny microphones that greatly amplify the brains electric signals detectable at the skull or forehead. From there the signal is transferred to a computer for statistical analysis, display and storage.
