✦ Synopsis

In Beyond Biofeedback, Dr. Elmer and Alyce Green provide the psychophysiologic rationale for biofeedback, neurofeedback and beyond. They emphasize the role of volition in motivating psychophysiologic change, healing and personal growth. The Greens developed clinical biofeedback as a self-regulation skills based approach. They present the process of learning to quiet body, emotions, and thoughts, leading to intuitive awareness and spiritual transformation. They describe philosophical roots that led to fascinating research into unusual psychophysiologic control by yogis, brain-wave self-regulation and studies of creativity and reverie states. They take the reader “beyond” biofeedback to describe psychophysiologic abilities of adepts including Swami Rama and Jack Schwarz who, among other feats, pushed a large sail-maker’s needle through his bicep muscles without pain or normal bleeding. They propose a science in which mind and matter are not forever separate.
