What is Quantum Biofeedback?
“Biofeedback is a process that enables an individual to learn to change physiological activity for the purpose of improving health and performance. Precise instruments measure physiological activity such as brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity and skin temperature. These instruments rapidly and accurately ‘feedback’ information to the user. The presentation of this information- often in conjunction with changes in thinking, emotions, and behavior- supports desired psychological changes. Over time, these changes can endure without the continued use of an instrument.” ~ A common definition from three professional organizations: The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB); Biofeedback Certification Institution of North America (BCIA); and The International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR)
Quantum Biofeedback builds on major fields of bioenergetics, voltametrics, quantum physics and homeopathy. It measures electrical activity in the body and provides valuable information about your health.
Biofeedback has been used in our hospitals for over 80 years through tools such as EEG, ECG, EKG, Ultra Sound, MRI and CT scans. It can be used diagnostically and therapeutically for pain management and stress reduction by measuring different parameters of health, stress, and ultimately life force.
How does Biofeedback work?
Biofeedback utilizes electro-dermal sensors to measure Galvanic Skin Resistance (GSR), also referred to as Electro-Dermal Response (EDR). GSR measures mild electrical impulses on the surface of our skin, which change when the moisture of the skin changes according to the body’s degree of stress and/or relaxation.
There is a direct relationship between sympathetic nervous activity and emotional arousal. GSR is so sensitive it can even measure fluctuations in emotional states.
Biofeedback instruments measure muscle activity, skin temperature, electro-dermal activity (sweat gland activity), respiration, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, brain electrical activity, and blood flow. There are many types of biofeedback; GSR, EEG, CAT scan, MRI, etc. These technologies are able to capture the body's analog electrical signals and translate those signals into meaningful information through complex algorithmic software that a technician can then decipher.
How do I benefit from Biofeedback?
Stress affects us all. Thousands of research articles and studies prove beyond a shadow of doubt that stress can be a factor in any disease. Stress alters biochemistry and neurological functioning and can weaken the immune system and the digestive tract.
Research shows that biofeedback, alone and in combination with other behavioral therapies, is effective for treating a variety of medical and psychological disorders.
In approximately five minutes, the Indigo Biofeedback System can simultaneously detect and record information about your unique stress reactions, promoting self-healing while helping to retrain stress patterns and bringing your body to a state of relaxation and balance. Biofeedback then re-educates certain muscles, nerves or organs and/or retrains areas of the body and mind to healthier patterns.
Why is this important?
Stress is created by an upset to our body’s equilibrium. Typical sources of stress come from pressures from everyday life, trauma, injuries, lifestyle choices, illness, and poor diet. These events magnify the physiological effects of stress on your body.
Chronic stress can affect you in multiple ways, including:
The INDIGO Biofeedback System
The INDIGO system has over 90 different types of electrical/energetic therapies that can support the body in reducing stress. Stress reduction can help the body to do what it is naturally designed to do, which is to heal itself!
The INDIGO does not heal the body, because the only thing that heals the body is the body. This statement is true in all aspects of medicine, even in allopathic medicine (Western medicine), which is trauma medicine. While allopathic doctors can save our lives and often help to suppress symptoms that cause us discomfort, when it comes to helping the body heal, many of us have found Western medicine to be very limited. To this task, we look to Eastern medicine and other modalities of natural healing for solutions for our healing needs.
The INDIGO applies both principles of Eastern and Western medicine through its therapy. It sends signals to re-educate certain muscles, nerves or organs or it can retrain areas of the body / mind to healthier patterns.
In other cases, it can invert certain signals which seem to be closely associated with a stress pattern.

- Circulatory issues
- Digestive disorders
- Brain fatigue; loss of concentration, memory loss
- Learning problems
- Endocrine disorders
- Early aging
- Moodiness and mental disorders
- Increased susceptibility to addiction
