BioFeedback Devices

Happiness is a state of mind and body that can be learned through practice. Biofeedback is an excellent way to learn how to develop happier states of mind at will. The more time you spend in a happy state, the more your body tends to be happy and the easier happiness gets.  Biofeedback is one of our Happy Life U recommendations for holiday gifts.

emWave Stress Reliever

The Best Biofeedback Device for Developing Long Term Happiness

We think the emWave Personal Stress Reliever from Heart Math LLC, is one of the best biofeedback machines available today!  While other machines measure temperature or heartbeat, the emWave measures heart rhythms and how even they are, which turns out to impact happiness and health in a profound way. 

Researchers at the Heart Math Institute found that the heart is directly connected to the brain both chemically and electrically.  In fact, the electric field created by the heart is 10 times stronger than brain waves.   Coherent, regular heart beats improve immunity, reduce stress, improve memory and creativity, and improve our sense of well being and happiness.  Clinicians use heart math on anxiety, PTSD, depression, emotional eating and host of other disorders.

Now you can use Heart Math too to improve your happiness!

Guided Imagery and Self Hypnosis

Guided imagery and self hypnosis are both used to stimulate changes in body functions and thinking patterns usually considered inaccessible to conscious influence.   An individual listens to music and word pictures to reach an awake, alert, and focused state with greater susceptibility to suggestion.  Medical research shows that these techniques are effective and they are commonly used in hospitals and clinical settings.  You can use them to relieve stress and train yourself to stay in a happier state.  These CDs make great holiday gifts under $20.
