It all starts in your...

It was so sad last week to hear the news of Junior Seau, former San Diego Chargers football player. Here's someone who could have benefited from some positive imagery and brain training as we have been exploring.  Did you know that he is one of three former NFL players who committed suicide since February, 2011?  It all starts in the brain...  Experts connect depression to traumatic brain injury and concussions. The latest report is Seau's family is donating his brain to be studied by scientists. Well how many people have had concussions?  That would be ME after years of flying head first off horses and motorcycles! Trust me, it is no "accident" I "landed" on this career path... Stuff like this makes you THINK! Think about what you are thinking about and know there is help for people whose brains are stuck in patterns that don't work! It's about a decrease in brain activity, which has been demonstrated on fMRI. Remember my background is in medical imaging, hence, I think about these things. Now, instead of scanning body parts and giving bad news, I show you how to tune up brain activity...so you can think better and feel better! The point is that thoughts lead you in a direction...positive or negative...mental and physical. And it all starts in different parts of your brain, running at different frequencies and just like with muscles, we can train it to be stronger. Through neurofeedback or "EEG Biofeedback" we show you where your brain is at (like looking in a mirror) and where it needs to go to do better. It's really that simple, and without the side effects of medication. How many people do you know who take meds and STILL don't feel better?  For a free consult just give me a call at 928-486-5414 or check in with my affiliates serving Az. in Lake Havasu City by clicking here.  There is hope, folks...through training, lifestyle change, supplementation, and proper nutrition, there is hope and here is some research to prove it! Stay tuned... next we will take a look at how FOOD affects your moods... Think healthy, eat healthy, and stay well!

think better

No Worries!

We have been working on positive thoughts and imagery to relieve anxiety, stress, and prepare for upcoming events. It's no secret that thoughts lead to feelings which lead to actions. Thoughts and imagery can even bring forth physical manifestations. Check out this reply that came in from my friend Jack Miller, a Certified Traditional Naturopath. http://www.naturalhealthsciencesofarizona.com/     "Very good info Becky. The opposite is true also. A non-recovering chronically ill person came to see me who perpetually lives in unhappy places. It doesn't even seem that the things this person and some others have gone through are horribly bad but they can recount those bad events in detail, which they do frequently. They live in a place of bad mental imagery and feel sorry for themselves that they had to go through something bad. Bad things are a part of life. I had some pretty rough things happen to me in my life. I won't get into that but the point is that I moved on and choose to focus on good things and a positive future. A few of these patients work on themselves constantly with emotional release therapies but they have been doing so for years and to me it becomes just an excuse to recall bad events over and over. There seems to be a need to do so. I need to learn more about what you do because I may want to send you some people. Do you ever do these sessions in LHC?" Above is an example of someone who ruminates on negative outcomes to the point of physical disease. PTSD is an example of flashing back to traumatic events. Once again, this has its roots in the brain. One of the first things I do with my clients through EEG Biofeedback AKA  neurofeedback is to help them calm down mentally...this offers tremendous relief from stress, anxiety, insomnia and eventually leads to improved focus and attention. Did you know you can train your brain to calm, reduce perception of pain, sleep better, and focus? Really! That's good news! Like Jack, do you want to learn more? Here's some good news... I'm offering a FREE consultation! That's right, you can call, schedule an appointment or even Skype and we can determine how neurofeedback can help you or a loved one. There's also a bushel of information on my websitewww.edgeneurofitness.com so you can get answers now. Need a consult in Arizona? I'm there from time to time, but just send me a reply and I will forward you to my affiliate in Lake Havasu City. http://www.affordablecounselingsolutions.com/braintraining Think healthy, eat healthy, and stay well!
