mind over matter

The link between the body and the mind has been intensely explored in recent years .one resulting field of study is biofeedback,which has given us new insights into how the human body functions.
but just what is biofeedback?
Dr marvin Domon explains it this way..IT IS simlply a perticular kind of feedback from different parts of our bodies:the brain, the heart, the circulatory system and so on.biofeedback training is the procedure that allows us to tune into our bodily functions and ,eventually to control them.how does it work? in a typical biofeedback training session a student is given this feedback by hooking with equipment that can amplify one or more bodily signals and translate them into readily observable signals:a flashing light ,the movement of a needle,a steady tone ,etc.once a person can see his heartbeat or hear his brainwaves,he has the information needs to begin controlling them.
patients have taught themselves to lower their blood pressure ,increase poor circulation to their extreme
s prevent migrain headaches and overcome insomania.
