9) Hypnosis Network Offers Free 30 Minute Powerful, Professional Hypnotic Relaxation Audio MP3 Download

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for mind and habit change. As I study the various online hypnosis websites, Hypnosis Network increasingly stands out to me as at least a cut above the others.

Another outstanding feature of hypnotherapy programs are each done by a different expert in the particular field and are in depth.

19) CalmLink Relaxation Software Works With the GSR-II System (A Biofeedback Mouse)

This gadget which looks like a computer mouse with two chromium finger-sized dents is actually a GSR biofeedack "mouse" that measures changes to the electrical conductivity of your skin. According to Thought Technology who makes them, there are more than 1/3 of a million GSR2 in use today!

That feedback from the measuring of the "galvanic" response tells a lot about whether your body is relaxed or tense. The GSR2 precisely monitors your stress levels by translating tiny tension-related changes in skin pores into a rising or falling tone. By resting two fingers on the sensing plates you learn to lower the pitch and your stress level. You basically get "biological" feedback through the GSR2 as you learn to relax and as you get better at doing it, you'll find yourself relaxing faster with or without the GSR2 (Keep reading at this link )
