We also utilize the p-Roshi System for self-regulation, assistance in sensory integration, and the development of various meditation practices—changing the brain to be receptive to present moment experiences.
The P-Rohi is not neurofeedback, but an aspect of applied neuroscience. It does not read brainwaves or brain function. Instead, it acts as a model for the brain to follow (the quintessential “perfect awake and aware present-moment state”). The P-Roshi sends precision timed “brain-like signals to the brain’s circuitry, via the LED flicker through the optical nerve. The signals go to the occipital region at the back of the brain, first—before they are distributed to the remainder of the brain. If there is any slowing along these pathways, the brain immediately boosts blood profusion to these regions, in an attempt to smooth out the information transfer. At this point, some people may experience a slight headache in the frontal region. This can be corrected easily with some deep breathing.
The P-Roshi is providing a standardized proprietary wide-band scanning signal onto which the brain will mimic or lock onto. This will continue for approx. 15 min. We recommend that you begin with a 15 min. session 3 times per week, increasing the time in increments of 5 minutes every week until your are at 30 minutes each session.
The P-Roshi aids in improving or learning a meditation technique or in treating conditions, such as: Depression, Anxiety, Traumatic Brain Injury, Sensory Integration Issues, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, or Seizure Disorders.
Alpha Stim
The Alpha-Stim® 100 treats anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia with microcurrent using a method called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). The treatment is very simple. The current is applied by easy to use clip electrodes that attach on the ear lobes. Used just 20 to 40 minutes every day, every other day, or on an as-needed basis, it can help induce a pleasant, relaxed feeling of well being. The Alpha-Stim® 100 is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs used in the treatment of mood disorders, many of which have been proven to have undesirable side effects and can be addictive. Unlike drugs, the Alpha-Stim® 100 leaves the mind alert. Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during treatment. Depression and insomnia control is generally experienced after one to two weeks of daily treatment. CES can also help treat the underlying mood disorders associated with pain.
It may be used as an adjunct to medication and/or psychotherapy. After treatment, there are usually no physical limitations imposed so the majority of people can resume normal activities immediately. Maintenance of a relaxed, yet alert state is generally achieved with treatments three times per week. As a result, the Alpha-Stim® 100 is suitable for clinical or home use.
The Alpha-Stim® 100 is distinct in that it is based on the concept that the biophysics underlying the body’s biochemistry also plays a significant role in regulating all of life’s processes. Doctors are taught that there are about 75 trillion cells in a human body, each having an electrical potential across its cell membrane, similar to a battery. Alpha-Stim’s proprietary waveform works by moving electrons through the body and brain at a variety of frequencies, collectively known as harmonic resonance. This normalizes the electrical activity of the nervous system and brain as measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG).
We offer the entire line of Hemi-Sync Technology, which incorporates the use of sound waves to affect many emotional states, as well as integration of right brain material to the left brain.
Hemi-Sync’s binaural beat CDs can help you experience enhanced mental, physical, and emotional states.
Our audio guidance CDs help the client safely alter their brainwaves with multi-layered patterns of sound frequencies. When they hear these through stereo headphones or speakers, their brain responds by producing a third sound (called a binaural beat) that encourages the desired brainwave activity.
