We
are talking about using this tool in very specific situations. For example ,
the MD suggested it for a Parkinson’s patient. This will help the patient
achieve a relaxed state and possibly-maybe a temporary reduction in tremors. It
might be used on a daily basis at the same time when the person might be practicing
rhythmic breathing. It does not replace Neurofeedback. This tool however I do
not use routinely. I find it really helpful for high achievers i.e.
singers, actors, athletes, business travelers who are having to perform within
periodic stressful situation. (auditions)
Also,
some clients discontinue the use of this tool as they achieve more inner
balance.
I
do not use it for pain, insomnia nor would I have recommended it for clients
with tremors. I find the integration of breathing, open focus and NCP significantly
reduces their responses to the tremors and in some cases (singers) reduce the
tremor.
On
a personal basis, I did not use my alpha stim for 10 years. I have a difficult time
with travel and I went to Vietnam in November. I used the Alpha Stim in the
mornings and it helped me achieve a more balanced state.

You may very well be right Rae. You can get
personal :-)I have had trauma and head injuries when young. I started out with
a large amount of low frequencies when I started training with ZIN. My CNS was
well within normal range for two years by the time I tried alpha stim. The boy
I refered to did have a head injury as well that left him with worsened
attention issues. Alpha stim made this worse still. What I don't understand is
why take the risk. In what way is it beneficial to the CNS? How does it add to
ZIN that makes it worth taking the risk?
