Neurofeedback Equipment for Meditation and Hypnosis

Some of the more common uses for neurofeedback equipment are helping people clinically for issues like ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  I am going to discuss two other applications that might not be as common.  Meditation has been around for a long time.  Many people practice meditation.  Many others don’t think that they can meditate.  Some have tried unsuccessfully.  There are various types of meditation practices.  One type of meditation is guided, where the meditator follows a series of guided imagery instructions to help to put them into a relaxed state.  Another type of meditation is silent.  The meditator sits quietly, allowing their minds to be quiet as much as possible.  They are not expected to not think at all.  They are just instructed not to intentionally think and to allow any thoughts that do come up to pass.  More time between thoughts seems to be a goal of this type of meditation.

Many psychologists in the United States of America are required to take training to keep up with new developments in the field and to remind them of things that they may have learned a long time ago.

There are many options for training including face to face programs, online programs, and material that psychologists can read. There are also many different topics that can be studied. As long as you have to take training you might as well make it something interesting, enjoyable, and useful. Biofeedback and neurofeedback are subjects that check all of those boxes.
