Serenity Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is an easy and non- invasive method of regulating brain function without drugs.
It's like a gym workout for your brain: a safe, drug free technology that uses biofeedback to teach the brain to self regulate with sound.
It is a comfortable, gentle and enjoyable experience that allows the central nervous system to return to a state of balance.
Through biofeedback, the brain is assisted to produce more balanced quantities and types of brainwaves, helping to restore balance to energy systems on all levels including hormonal, psychological, physical, emotional and intellectual.
Symptoms usually improve or disappear, energy and concentration increase and stress levels become manageable. Small, single sensors are placed on each ear and the scalp, the operator tests the current brainwave pattern and a training protocol is set for each session, depending upon your goals and taking into account any changes since the last session.
You relax and may read, engage in a screen-based activity or depending upon the type of training, may close your eyes or listen to a guided meditation.
Serenity neurofeedback system allows you to work towards improvements in four key areas:
* Facilitating and training the brain to produce brainwaves that allow it to function in a more balanced way.
* Training to develop peak mental performance
* Assisting with the investigation and resolution of life path issues and personal growth.
* The software and training is also designed to enhance meditation, allowing users to release impediments to deep meditation.
As a side effect of returning brainwaves to normal, many clinical conditions may improve. For example, it has been found that children with behaviours described as ADD or ADHD, frequently show extremely low or absent Beta brain waves in relation to Theta waves.
Training allows the child to change these ratios by training to increase Beta brainwaves. Often then the child's behaviour improves.
Also underlying the changes that occur in the brain during neurofeedback, is the concept of neuroplasticity; that is the ability of the brain to grow new dendrites or connections between brain cells.
This can improve brain function, performance and memory.
The firing of a brain cell or neuron is both a chemical and electrical event. By addressing the electrical activity of the brain, Serenity neurofeedback provides an alternative to allopathic, drug-based approaches which focus on changing brain chemistry.
How many sessions will I need?
Changes can happen immediately but are more commonly noticed somewhere between 10 and 20 sessions.
Sessions are 30 minutes with optimal training derived from 2–3 sessions per week.
Neurofeedback has been used over the last 50 years for anxiety and depression but also for more complex neurological issues from Attention Deficit Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to insomnias, migraine, fibromyalgia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
