Thermal Biofeedback MonitoringToday these little thermal biofeedback (body/mind feedback) monitors have become the gold standard biofeedback monitor self-training.
The use of personal monitors like this one has grown widely has biofeedback itself has evolved as a respected scientifically based treatment for an increasing number of conditions. A biofeedback temperature monitor is the most popular one for home use because it is convenient to use and inexpensive to buy. It is also easy to learn to do right from the start, a thermistor pick up is simply placed on the clinically indicated site and fastened in order to measure peripheral skin temperature. In the case of stress management the thermistor is placed on the thumb of the dominant hand, which studies have shown to have a largest number of nerve endings that are "hard wired" to our brain. During stress, blood vessels become constricted, lessening the warm blood flow. Biofeedback temperature training helps us improve our body-mind interaction with the goal of increasing our self regulation skill to enable ourselves to affect our stress response, which we can measure as an increase in skin temperature. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN Various studies have correlated the temperature degrees with the various mental states of our stress responses such as low temperatures corelate to mental states of anger and fear, while the highest temperatures indicate sleepiness and mental peace. Although naturally our temperature/stress responses are highly individual, here is a very general guideline that demonstrates the value of thermal monitoring as an important stress management tool. TEMPERATURE/STRESS CORRELATIONS Above 95 degrees F = pleasantly relaxed, perhaps drowsy Using your own stress monitor to assist you in determining your individual temperature/stress correlations is an easy and tremendously useful stress busting tool! You'll soon discover that your own various stress responses, everything from "butterflies in your stomach" to a full blown anxiety attack, have coresponding temperatures that will help you learn about stress's enormous impact on you as an individual.

In addtion to the rewards of stress management training through thermal feedback, you'll soon find that your high function mental states and peak performance physical states also have coresponding temperatures. In fact, your individual peak performance "ZONE" can easily be ascertained using thermal biofeedback monitoring.
THERMAL BIOFEEDBACK FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE MENTAL TRAINING In the photo above we see a temperature of 92.3 degrees farenheit, which is indicating a nice non-stressed body/mind state. Temperatures that fall fall between 91 to 93 generally, are physically relaxed yet mentally alert state temperature that have been called "the peak performance zone", a mental and physical zone that is highly conducive to high achievements. Many top performers of high anxiety or high risk endeavors, from Pro Golfers to Financial Market Traders, use this type of monitor to help them determine when they are in the zone. If not, a few minutes of using well practiced relaxation skills using the monitor as a guide will put them right back in the zone. See Biofeedback Stress Management in Action. It not only works, it works exceptionally well! For this and all the other practical reasons it is growing more popular every day for sure fire stress management, even more so as people discover the enormous advantages of higher mental funtion and physical performance advantages that it offers them.
