I've been wanting to buy a small, inexpensive biofeedback device for years. I'm looking it up, but it's complicated. Different ones measure body temperature, pulse, breathing -- I want one that measures brainwaves, so I could train my mind to always be at ease, instead of jumping around all over the place. I want one that you can just put on you and wear it all day and when you go out.

So maybe I want a 'neurofeedback' device -

Sounds expensive - or like you have to go to some therapy-kind of person.....

I'm not asking anybody to do my research for me, but if anyone has any knowledge or experience about using biofeedback to relax, I'd appreciate it.

Just looked it up and there is a Neurofeedback Practitioner in my area.

This is what I'm looking for -- a do-it-yourself device.

Don't know about biofeedback machines, KidRaw, but have you heard of guided imagery practice? Natural practitioners have repeatedly mentioned Belleruth Naparstek's CDs to me; they look like a really economical way to train your brain waves to be more regular. When my mom, a high anxiety person, was dealing with cancer, BN's CDs seemed to help.

I am one of the most relaxed laid back persons in the world and don't use any devices to be that way. With that said I am an ENFP type maybe you are too. It takes a constant focus to stay single tracked at times.

Try the emwave desktop.

Try setting of a priortiy list and only think about and work on one thing at a time untill it is done right

And you might try these esential oils, lavender, spearmint, peppermint and frankinsense.

Ive been interested in biofeedback devices for a while but never taken the plunge despite having an electro acupuncture device here that doubles up as a biofeedback device.

They are meant to be good for helping you shut off your sympathetic nervous system, but really this can be achieved simply by deep breathing exercises.
