Author of Dan Siegel, M.D., of Mindsight: the new Science of personal Transformation, eloquently writes about how our mind, brain, and relations co-create our lives. What is a person whose brain is thus reached it becomes an obstacle to begin a mindfulness practice? Or a person who enters into meditation so difficult that they get discouraged? Some neurological dysfunction related to trauma or organic will significantly reduce the likelihood that one will develop an effective meditation/mindfulness practice.
EEG biofeedback, also known under the name of neurofeedback, activates the natural capacity of the brain of shape in response to experience new connections. This form of the formation of the brain has restored the functioning of the brain among many people who have suffered a brain injury. Training appears to be effective post-injury even years, when spontaneous sanitation is provided is no longer. The symptoms that accompany a head injury that neurofeedback can help are: energy loss, headache, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, thoughts obsessive, depression, rage, seizures, insomnia and even personality changes. Sometimes people are not aware that their brain function has been shaken, as the pivotal event was not as important that would be a car accident. Or perhaps they have no recollection of the event as is the case of a birth of forceps or did not have the connection that their questions developed after general anaesthesia. In these cases neurofeedback can be useful with regard to what we call material or anatomical functioning of the brain to enhance the preparation of an individual to add a mindfulness practice to their daily lives.
Populations of persons who have suffered a trauma or severe anxiety, addiction, fears and phobias have what we consider a software problem - their brain goes too easily in response to acute survival. Neurofeedback seems to work by the cortex remain engaged and will not be circumvented as usual in a reaction of fight - or - flight training. It improves the ability of a person to calm their spirit, thus, better prepare for a daily practice of what Dr. Dan Siegel calls "mindsight". In other words, neurofeedback increases the capacity of the brain and prepares a person to a daily practice of conscience, which in turn facilitates change to manifest in their lives.
In the process of awakening of the mind, people need to let go of control. Most people have beliefs about what release of control would look like, but neurofeedback gives a person an experience through real-time feedback. Some examples of how this training would work according to the equipment neurofeedback is as follows: when a person is raising this sound it will trigger sound and visual signals or when there is an increase of gamma-ray bursts, a recording frequency associated with an increase of new neural connections which occurs when the brain is learning a new behavior, there is an increase in the brightness of the fractal images on the screen. Think to neurofeedback learning mindfulness with training wheels. Once the brain learns how to balance its self-regulation of the thoughts, feelings and focus a person can more easily deepen their daily practice of mindfulness.
