**Neurofeedback (as well as various other therapies) may be enhanced via the use of other therapies which ‘quieten the mind’, increasing its receptivity to learning.** I will first make the distinction between volitional and non-volitional therapies. Volitional means the patient makes cognitive efforts (volitional efforts) to effect the changes desired. Where a therapy is considered non-volitional, the patient does nothing but subject their brain to the inputs of the equipment. Non-volitional systems are not necessarily ‘non-invasive’ - for example the strobing lights of **[the ROSHI IN-SIGHT Glasses (Personal ROSHI, or pROSHI)](http://neurodynamicactivator.com/about-2/)** are invading the normal senses of the brain. The microshocks of the **[Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) (formerly known as the Flexyx Neurotherapy System)](http://www.ochslabs.com/)** are also invading the brain’s normal environment. Indeed, despite its name, LENS is not cosidered to be _true_ Neurofeedback or Biofeedback as it is non-volitional. For examples of the uses of such non-volitional relaxation therapies to improve Neurofeedback results, the following is an abstract of a conference presentation at the 2009 International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) Annual Conference. It is entitled \*Adjunct Therapies to Neurofeedback: Significant Results Obtained by National and International \*_Clinicians_… > [@](#): > > …Dr. Roxana Vasiliu discusses that the use of adjunct therapies (pROSHI, Alpha-Stim, and LENS) associated with neurofeedback accelerated the recovery of a young adult with multiple addictions, depression, ADHD, and borderline personality. Lynda Kirk presents results obtained in her clinic combining pROSHI, AlphaStim, and multimodal [Biofeedback] that enhanced neurotherapy and speeded up the progress of many difficult clinical eases, including CVA (stroke), PTSD, and age-related cognitive decline. Dr. Stephen Overeash, who has been working with traumatized (physically and emotionally, PTSD) policemen clients, compares the relaxation and antistress effects of the pROSHI versus the Alpha-Slim. He divided the clients into two groups of 10 and treated them for 8 to 12 weeks with Enhanced, by the adjunct devices, Biofeedback sessions. The results obtained were statistically analyzed and are discussed… Devices like the pROSHI and **[Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) technology](http://www.alpha-stim.com/)** can probably rapidly produce states of deep relaxation, and may increase suggestibility, receptivity to new information, and enhance access to subconscious material. However various therapies could be put into this broad category of ‘non-volitional relaxation therapies’. These could even include [BrainHeart Music](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/60) and [Beds which have simple, stable, predicable motion](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245/55), which I have mentioned in previous posts. **A float tank, also known as an isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank,** is another option. It is a lightless, soundproof tank inside which subjects float in salt water at skin temperature. After a while in a float tank, a subject’s brainwaves transition from beta or alpha to theta, which typically occurs briefly before sleep and again at waking. In a float tank, the theta state can last for several minutes without the subject losing consciousness. An example of a float tank’s use to enhance receptivity to new information, is to enhance the effects of Lloyd Glauberman’s [Hypno-Peripheral Processing (HPP)](http://www.hppcds.com/aboutus.asp) technology… > [@](#): > > …Though designed to be used in the float tank, it has been discovered through extensive experimentation that the HPP tapes are equally effective when any tool is used - **Synchro Energizer** , **Graham Potentializer** , etc. - that is effective in putting the user in that state of extraordinary receptivity to new information and to behavioral change or “reimprinting” that accompanies the theta state… Another example of a therapy that may be useful in making other therapies work better is **Dr. Tessler’s Fight of Flight Therapy** ([http://www.fightorflighttherapy.com/](http://www.fightorflighttherapy.com/)). This light therapy, only available through this doctor in Colorado, is said to work by directly lessening the body’s physiological response to stress and trauma, making the body more responsive to treatment. Here is an anecdotal success story of the therapy working for someone’s Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS): > [@](#): > > …Let’s see, over the course of my run with this stuff I’ve done … a kind of light therapy that my practitioner calls “fight or flight therapy” (basically ended my pronounced panic attacks, and I believe made the cranio-sacral therapy and hypnotism therapies far more effective than they would have been on their own)… (sources: [http://eeg-feedback.cz/Joural\_of\_Neurotherapy.pdf](http://eeg-feedback.cz/Joural_of_Neurotherapy.pdf); [Chaos CD][HaBi 2]- MEGABRAIN ([http://www.offiziere.ch/trust-us/habi2/134\_megabrain.html](http://www.offiziere.ch/trust-us/habi2/134_megabrain.html)): [PCS symptoms, what kind of symptoms and feelings do you have? - NeuroTalk Support Groups](http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?p=122168#post122168)) --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245)._
