Biofeedback, what is it?

I By MAX COLPETZER, M.A. iWhit/ey County Satellite Director Bowen Center Biofeedback therapy is a relatively new, highly scientific approach used in the treatment of emotional, behavioral and physical problems. It involves the use of specialized instrumentation. This equipment provides an individual with immediate, ongoing, accurate information about his or her biological processes such as muscle tension, temperature, heart behavior, blood pressure or brain waves. The information is conveyed by means of a needle on a meter, a light or a particular sound. Biofeedback training is using the information to change or control the process being monitored. There are many minute changes continually occurring in the body. These are related to both psychological and physical factors; this interaction of the mind and body underlies much of biofeedback training. A basic principle is that every change in

. the psychological state is accomplished by a change in the mental and emotional state and vice versa. Many of these changes which occur in the body are normally beyond awareness, but we can learn to recognize these tiny signals with biofeedback and then to regulate them. People have various negative responses to stressful events; biofeedback allows them to become aware of stress responses and teaches them to voluntarily control these responses. The instruments, themselves, are passive, however. They don’t do anything to us. Rather, they tell us what we do. The technology of biofeedback allows an individual a basic responsibility in his own illness, health and personal growth. The Bowen Center provides biofeedback services through a specially trained staff. For more information or an appointment, call* 267-7169 or toll-free 1-800-342-5653.

NORTHERN LAKES CHRISTIAN CHURCH Thorpe And Karen Mitchell Pastors , TRICYCLES ARE FOR CHILDREN By KAREN MITCHELL Everyone wants love! We want to be loved, accepted, respected, and cared for, and we deserve the very best. Why then, are so many marriages and families failing? Let me use a simple illustration. How many normal, intelligent adults would move a three bedroom house on a tricycle? That’s foolish, right? We would call a moving company and have them send professionals and a semi or 18 wheeler to move our households. Why then, when it comes to “love and marriage” are we so childish? We expect “eros” love to do the work of an 18 wheeler, agape love. Eros is the Greek word for romantic love; agape is the Greek word for the God kind of love. These two kinds of love are as far apart as the illustration above. It is impossible to compare a tricycle to a semi van for moving purposes. It is also impossible for eros or romantic love to do the work of agape, the God kind of love. First, we must have God’s spirit in us before we can walk in this kind of love. God has made this possible for all of us; all we have to do is receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, Romans 10:9-10 & 13. Eros love is self centered; it is concerned about me, my feelings and wants. Agape love is concerned about the needs of the other person, preferring their wants and needs to my own. This does not mean that I become a door mat for other people to wipe their feet or walk on. I am stating a spiritual principle. It will work. I did it, and it turned my marriage around. It will work for anyone! The spiritual principle is: “give and it is given to you” ... “I will reap what I sow”. Therefore, if I want love, I give love. If I want respect, I give respect. I don’t wait to give respect before I get respect, or I’ll probably still be waiting for it. I give it first; then I receive it. Let me explain something that will help you understand. Respect is not “earned”; it is given. Why? Because the Word, the Bible, tells us to respect our mates. They are worthy because they are created in the image and likeness of God, not because their actions and words are right. When we understand this principle, we are on the road to recovery. We want to see your marriage work. Come see us, and we ll help you turn your circumstances around. Remember, tricycles are for children; only God can show us how to handle the 18 wheelers.
