Optimal Performance Training

Zengar NeuroCARE® Neurofeedback Training

Neurofeedback, also called EEG biofeedback, involves direct brain training that leads to better self-regulation. Self-regulation training enhances the function of the central nervous system, which controls all behavior and thereby improves mental performance, emotional stability, and physical well being.

A non-invasive approach, neurofeedback involves applying sensors to the scalp so that the full spectrum of brainwave activity can be observed from moment to moment. The client simply relaxes and allows the feedback process to happen. Better neuronal regulation leads to more relaxed behavior, including the reduction or elimination of upset and anxiety.

Neurofeedback has a proven track record of helping children succeed at school, and adults succeed at their chosen endeavours by sharpening their focus, calming aroused states and upset, improving memory, normalizing sleep patterns which have been implicated in most dysfunction, and improving organizational skills.

How long does this training take to show results?

Many people see immediate results in the first session: a sense of calm, deep relaxation, a sense of well being, lightness of humor. Things seems possible suddenly. Generally, we find that 2 to 3 times weekly brings quicker and longer lasting results.

While everyone’s metabolism and nervous system is unique, the plasticity of the brain and its ability to learn is universal.

A broad base of experience among the NeuroCARE Trainers shows that most people experience something discernable within six sessions; but again many folks say after the first session that they are aware of obvious beneficial changes (see the Testimonial page for client reports). After a few of sessions, most people have quantifiable results in sleep patterns, memory, grace under pressure, and performance enhancement.

Because you are a unique individual and bring all your own needs and current circumstances to NeuroCARE training, clents can count on my assitance in making the best of the training in a short a period if time as we can determine. This may include some lifestyle adjustments we will determine together.

Is this some new technology?  How do I know it will work?

EEG neurofeeback training has been being used since the 1970’s. Biofeedback, the general science of which Neurofeedback is a refinement, has been around since the turn of the century. There are about a dozen well recognized forms of nerurofeedback. NeuroCARE is a refinement yet again on these protocols. With the NeuroCARE training, nothing is being ‘done’ to your brain; no ‘theory’ is devised to address your concerns. Instead, the brain’s known natural adaptability, the ability to learn and change itself, are harnessed in your service by merely giving the brain feedback on it’s own behaviour, moment to moment.

The nature of the brain is ‘adaptability’, or the ability to respond to constant change…

This means the training is explicitely non-invasive. The brain’s great intelligence is harnessed by simply reflecting back to it how it is ‘behaving’.  The brain’s capacity for change is engaged by the feedback. Tens of thousands of people have received many forms of neurofeedback for the last 4 decades.

I chose this protocol after many years of research and observation because it does not meddle with the clients well-being or nervous system (of which the brain is a central aspect). Instead, it magnificently capitalizes on the nature of the brain itself without interfering with the brain’s natural process in any way at all.  Again, the nature of the brain’s ability to change and learn is what this feedback system courts.

I have never been good at exercises and homework.

There are no exercises in a session, nothing for you to do.  Simple let go and allow your brain to do the work. Homwework will be rare, simple, and mostly at the level of self-observation and self-care. No pressure to perform here; you have enough of that already.

I am so overwhelmed, I can’t take on another thing.                                                          

You won’t have to. You come in- lie in a zero gravity chair and let go. We play music and it could even be of your choice, you can even close your eyes and rest or watch a sophisticated light show on a monitor. Your brain knows how to do the changing.  In this sense it’s completely restful. The only action that is required is your commitment to give it a try. The brain learns while you get refreshed!  

Gentle and non-invasive training.

  

This approach is a gentle, non-invasive training process to optimize or re-normalize functioning of your brain and CNS.

NeuroCARE helps you to seamlessly and effortlessly improve performance in business, school, athletics, performing arts, health, and sleep as well as to alter patterns of unwanted, inefficient, and stuck behaviors. It helps your brain to become more resilient and efficient.

A recent client was amazed when she responded differently and positively to a client issue at work that she would normally become upset with.  And her son, only after one session, went to sleep when put to bed when the norm would be for him to get up over and over again and want to sleep with her.  She came in smiling from ear to ear for his second session.  This Family’s optimal performance is improving!

The following are what clients have reported during training: 

• Peak Performance Improvement
  
• Enhancing Concentration 
  
• Strengthening Active Focusing Skills
  
• Reducing Distractibility
  
• Developing Creativity
  
• Less Self-Doubt
  
• Building Motivation and Self-Esteem
  
• Overcoming Test Anxiety
  
• Controlling and Channeling Performance Anxiety
  
• Learning Habit Control
  
• Letting go of Addictive Behaviorss
  
• Enhancing Mindfullness (meditation) Practice
  
• Developing Centering and Quieting Skills
  
• Increasing Mental, Emotional, and Physical Energy
  
• Improved Performance at Work, Sports, and Performing Arts 
  
• Diminishing of Depression and Anxiety 
  
• Ability to remain present
  
• Deeper relaxation than expected
  
• Letting go of fear (and only recognized that they had fear after beginning training)
  
• Improved sleep (poor sleep hygiene is implicated in most behavioral issues and CNS controlled)

                     

Speaks the brains language…

NeuroCARE speaks the language of the brain, to the brain. The brain uses visual and auditory information offered by NeuroCARE to re-organize itself and release old patterns of “stuckness”. The result is effortless transformation with few unwanted effects. While clients use NeuroCARE for many reasons, they typically describe their concerns and fears dropping away, feeling more clear and present in their daily lives, experiencing a greater ability for focus and an increased sense of lightness and joy.  It does not tell the brain what to do or NOT do, so it never pushes your brain in any particular direction as do other neurofeedback systems.

It works comprehensively across all available brainwave frequencies — not just a limited subset — adapting itself to your individual response to neurofeedback while the training is happening. No other system is so flexible and responsive.

Totally non-invasive, Zengar NeuroCARE simply gives the brain information about what it has just done. The brain uses this information to re-organize itself and when it does, a whole lot of issues drop away. NeuroCARE® helps you be the best you can be, naturally.
