Biofeedback . . . Aim Training
You Won't Be Able to Say
What You Learned in Training Today
Successful people only need a certain amount of new data that can be
learned in a classroom. Too many words and too much information is part
of the problem.
Alert Focus trainers are not going to inspire you to 'be like
me' or entice you to know all that we know. We have a few subtle and powerful
skills to impart that provide enduring and pervasive benefits.
There is ample research to prove diverse wellness and performance benefits
in learning 'to get better at being you'…physiologically. The right
physiological skills becomes mental-emotional abilities, which becomes
greater understanding of people, and even becomes more resonant leadership.
When asked about your Alert Focus training session, don't even try to
explain. If you must say something, try to get away with:
"Uh… some kind of stress reduction with biofeedback. It was
neat."
Do not say: "We used biofeedback to learn self-awareness
for better unconscious control of our autonomic nervous system and neural
capacity. I'm expecting gains in emotional intelligence." Repeat:
Do not say that. It's best to just say, "I'll get back to you in
a month or so. Hopefully by then, you can tell me."
Alert Focus does not teach you new knowledge in the ordinary sense. There
is no equivalent in another media. There is a logical progression of skills,
but all biofeedback is self-paced learning. Trying harder doesn't help.
Regular and consistent practice works very well to achieve myriad wellness
and performance benefits.
The time commitment is from zero to 1 hour a week. It can be zero time
is some weeks because you can practice certain skills while doing other
things. Such as tension awareness while eating or breathe concentration
while driving, or the Alert Focus technique while in meetings. The more
successful you are, the larger the economic benefit.
Both subtle and powerful. It's all done with special mirrors.
We offer a way to learn to be your best. Even Olympic Athletes and Super
Bowl winners can learn to use their own bio equipment more efficiently
and effectively. West Point is not in California. These pros like the
precision of concentration and mental toughness that biofeedback yields.
Do you really believe your nervous system, stress mechanisms, and brainwaves,
are all tuned to their optimal settings? Don't worry, we will not tune
them for you. That's your job. We just know how to provide the special
awareness mirrors for productive learning.
Sometimes you need to hear and learn along with everyone else. That is
not what we do.
You can't improve what you can't see. So we have you just watch yourself
doing what you do and learn. We show you special kinds of biofeedback
mirrors so you can gain control through awareness. We'll also guide and
monitor progress. We have a progression of tools, or biofeedback monitors
that are best done in a certain order. The next kind of training depends
on the last results. Very self-paced, but not all one-on-one.
We believe if you needed to know something, you would just find out and
have it. That is also true for biofeedback awareness. A successful conclusion
to a module occurs after a conversation about what is still possible and
whether you feel you have sufficient awareness and control.
Elementary biofeedback skill challenge
Do want to take the challenge exam to see if haven't already mastered
this skill? Okay, ready?. Here goes.
Within 60 seconds, voluntarily raise the temperature in your left hand.
How did you do?
So what? Precise and continuous feedback of certain physiological processes
leads to self-regulation of the stress cycle. One of the best ways to
cool yourself down is by warming up your hands. This reverses the fight
flight response. Blood flow to extremities is both a predictor of change
in stress and a way to exert control over stress levels. Within 60 seconds
for the well-trained. It does not take long to acquire this skill, but
you do need practice with biofeedback tools until you get it. And then
you have it. Occasional booster sessions are optional.
This is traditional biofeedback. There are two other kinds of biofeedback
control with much stronger benefits: heart rate variability and neurofeedback.
