Since 1997, Herbert Benson of Harvard Medical School has reaffirmed that “Sixty to ninety percent of [doctor-patient] the visits are motivated by stress-related conditions. “ Especially in today’s world, stress management is truly vital to overall emotional, relational, and physical health. As a psychologist, I understand that most tend to consider meditation exercises too difficult to learn; and too much time to practice.
Although activities such as watching television and listening to music can be relaxing, they do not generate the relaxation response that is most beneficial for managing stress. To de-stress, people must do something that sounds counterintuitive, that is, engage in an activity that is not passive. The Surgeon General recommends physical activity for stress management. Stress can also be managed by participating in personal meditations.
Although sound and light machines are effective devices that help induce healthy meditative states, they are also considered too expensive by most. To test the positive effects of these devices, “Flasher 1.51” is actually a fully functional virtual Light & Sound Machine freeware, which was created in the early 1990s. It was designed to incorporate brain waves in a similar way with flashing lights. precisely timed. One can simply choose the configuration one wants, sit in front of the computer monitor and close the eyes. The software then pulses the monitor so that the blinking is experienced behind closed lids. Delivers a remarkably effective and seemingly effortless feeling of DEEP RELAXATION in just a few minutes. The effect seems very similar to the experience of wearing real Light & Sound Machine glasses.
This meditation enhancer was recently given a new life thanks to an American computer programmer. It now allows the previously outdated program to function within today’s modern Windows environment. I often recommend it to my patients who want to eat their stress better.
