Customer Reviews of Mind Modulations Thoughtstream GSR Biofeedback Device & Game
Customer Review: GOOD BUY, BUT DON'T BUY FROM MIND MODULATIONS
Summary: 4 Stars
My review for the Thoughtstream biofeedback device.
The reviews of products at Amazon have from my experience been a good guide. And I have used the reviews to determine when and when not to buy, they are objective and informative, if you go by the average review rating, which is what I go by.
So in order to return the favor that Amazon reviewers have provided me, I will provide you my thoughts on this product and hopefully inform some of the benefits of Biofeedback technology.
The Thoughtstream device is designed to assist one to achieve the: "Relaxation Response". A highly relaxed state that has many benefits. Based on the studies of Dr Benson of Harvard Medical School, such relaxation leads to a reduction in sympathetic nervous system activity, lower heart rate and lower blood pressure. It is also known that the Relaxation Response is helpful in many brain-related conditions, from migraines to irritable bowel syndrome.
The effects of the relaxation response have been confirmed using brain wave and MRI studies. The results show that such relaxation can regulate brain waves associated with relaxed wakefulness, a state of maximal awareness, deep insights, and intuition.
Also studies too numerous to mention have shown that prolonged stress leads to lower immunity levels, heart disease, mental disorders and lower life expectancy. Patients who have a positive and relaxed approach to their illness also have greater recovery and survival rates. The importance of the MIND-BODY connection is tremendous and is often overlooked by practitioners.
So anything that trains the mind to relax and helps it to achieve greater deeper relaxation levels is of enormous benefit. And like a muscle the more you train your mind on relaxation techniques the greater and deeper benefits.
The Thoughstream device is very simple to operate, accurate and from my personal experience very effective in achieving deep relaxation. It provides sound and visual feedback on your relaxation level, feedback that guides you to a deeper state of relaxation. It also provides you with objective feedback, so that you know that you are really relaxing (because sometimes the mind can be misleading), it helps you reach much deeper states of relaxation which may not be possible if you just relied on you own perception and guidance. And if you have trouble concentrating , as I do, it provide a means of focus and control, where my mind would wander otherwise.
It is like a treadmill, it keeps me honest where an exercise bike does not. Additionally, the product comes with computer games and Thoughtsteam that can be linked to your PC.
These games are where the the Thoughstream has a distinct advantage over other biofeedback devices such as the Emwave (which is also excellent). There are a variety of games that assist in many areas, each with a scoring system. There are games that help you practice being calm in a pressure situation, there is one that helps you to develop mental stability.
One game in particular helps you to train your emotions, how to quickly arouse yourself and then to relax, such emotional control has many advantages.
This product is excellent and I highly recommend it.
But with with everything you have to work with it, it will not do it ALL for you.
NOTE: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM MIND MODULATIONS!!!, THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT STINKS, THEY ONLY BOTHER TO REPLY TO EMAILS THAT THEY WANT TO, THEY COULD NOT EVEN BE BOTHERED TO REFER ME TO A MANUFACTURERS EMAIL SITE WHEN I HAD A TECHNICAL PROBLEM.
FROM MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, THEIR SERVICE SUCKS!
BEWARE OF THEIR 30 DAY TRAIL PERIOD, I SUSPECT YOU WILL HAVE GREAT PROBLEMS IF YOU WISH TO RETURN IT.
Description of Mind Modulations Thoughtstream GSR Biofeedback Device & Game
Personal Biofeedback you can use at home. The ThoughtStream is the world's first complete personal biofeedback training system. Biofeedback allows you to see, feel or hear mind/body processes that we normally aren't consciously aware of or able to voluntarily control. It has long been accepted as one of the most effective tools available for stress control and other personal growth benefits. In the past, biofeedback was something only available by visiting a professional with hourly rates or by purchasing very expensive clinical models. The ThoughtStream is a galvonic skin response GSR biofeedback training system that you can use at home. The stress we experience at home and at work has a large impact on our well-being, but our normal methods of responding to stressful events are habits that can be changed after we become more aware of them. Learning to fully relax while under pressure can have a profoundly beneficial influence on all aspects of life. The Thoughtstream can give you a new level of self-understanding when your responses are seen or heard as they happen. The ThoughtStream is designed for travel: lightweight, attractive, with a unique palm of the hand sensor. A handsome carrying case, headphones, manual, Mental Games software and everything else that you need to get started is included! The training modules of Mental Games 'sense' how focused or relaxed you are and will vary their response according to your internal state. By using this combination of multimedia technology and biofeedback, you enter a new dimension of self mastery. You may soon notice that you are more relaxed in your everyday life, being present and focused without "burning out." Two sets of levels are included with Mental Games. Level one is a group of conventional biofeedback exercises. Here you can move objects on the screen as you learn to relax your body and focus your mind. Level two consists of a number of independent modules designed to actively train your responses.Stress Reduction
