All neurofeedback therapies are not created equal. Most perform their primary duty of brainwave stimulation of the cerebral cortex for the general purpose of improved learning. This always takes place on and throughout the head region using a medical EEG device. It focuses on activating certain brain sites and their correlation to a specific change in a particular behavior one is working to achieve.
But, how about creating improvements in and throughout the body and nervous system in other ways using neurofeedback. Can favorable behavioral changes be made by tapping into other areas of the nervous system throughout the body without the use of traditional brain sites? The answer is: Yes.
Body LENS Therapy is a versatile approach to neurofeedback designed to systemically balance the entire body by EEG stimulation in the spinal, abdominal , fingertip and toe areas. These zones are rich in nerve endings that can be used as a gateway to assist greater blood flow and chemical exchange necessary for healing. It is a more flexible approach of using the already highly effective LENS Therapy.
Body LENS Therapy expands the definition of what can be achieved with neurofeedback. By viewing the entire nervous system ( central, peripheral, autonomic) as one continuous chain that can be merged into at different points throughout the body for effective relief of symptoms. Instead of top down only approach where the focus is exclusively on the brain. This makes it possible to treat the body directly.
Body LENS Therapy can benefit many conditions, like ADD and Autism where anxiety plays a major role.
Body LENS Therapy uses many of the same energy meridians that acupuncturists use. BodyLENS Therapy can be used down the spinal column to balance chakras, relax anxious patients and support meditative practices. Body LENS Therapy is also used on the abdominal area to help with digestive function and bowel activity. Body LENS Therapy is used to regulate the afferent and efferent nerve systems throughout the body to help carry information to and from the brain. When these are disrupted the central nervous system can’t shut down and relax. Leading to anxiety, depression and insomnia. Body LENS Therapy is a great overall way to keep the central , peripheral and autonomic nervous systems better regulated.
NeuroBalance is one of the few places in Los Angeles specializing in Body LENS Therapy. It’s a great therapy that is included with your treatments. A good portion of our clientele are meditators and they all love the effects. We also use it with our ADHD children and anxious clients who could never calm down and relax before. It’s been a real game changer.
Balanced brainwaves means better behavior.
