Biofeedback and Stress Management
with Daniel Hertz
Biofeedback is well-recognized as a powerful, non-invasive, and relatively simple way to measure subtle changes in the emotional and physiological state. The goal is to learn self-regulation. Self-regulation skills are a prerequisite to learning stress management skills. These same skills also allow us to check and refine the breathing and relaxation skills used in the meditation process. The three keys to learning self-regulation will be discussed, and there will also be demonstrations of the equipment. Sensors include respiration, heart rate, skin temperature, muscle tension, and skin conductance.
