Listed below are a number of the tools used by Better Breathing Project Coaches to move you or your loved one in the right direction.

RF Training entails effort on the client’s end to re-normalize CO2 levels in the circulatory system. Although it takes a person out of their comfort zone, it is very effective at building respiratory fitness with relatively little time commitment. Personalized coaching coupled with client commitment to daily habit change exercises will have a profound impact on physiology within a month. Several meditation practices are included in the E-book to assist the process. RF coaching (in person or over Skype/Zoom) is great prep-work to biofeedback and Tech Assisted Meditation. We encourage signing up with a friend or family member to bring down expenses, increase accountability to goals and make the practice more enjoyable. If interested, please email mark@breathing.coach. Your 1st consultation session includes an RF-Guidebook ($40 value). A $50 biofeedback device is also recommended and can be ordered at onset of training.

Capnolearning™ is about

(1) Evaluating breathing behavior, (2) examining the effects of breathing on physical symptoms, performance deficits, cognition, and emotion, (3) reinstating breathing reflexes based on their strategic role in the regulation of acid-base balance, and (4) learning breathing behavior that may enhance performance, prevent health problems, optimize mental capacity, and support embracing rather than defending lifestyles.

BioField assessments offer a quick window into an individual’s emotional and physiological stress or well-being. This technology provides a view of organ health and energy as well as psychophysiological balance. Scan results can confirm known issues and over time highlight new potential risks long before they manifest into further complications. The results can be motivational toward implementing alternative courses of action or behavior based on assessment results. For acute conditions, appropriate practitioner care will be suggested. This assessment can only be accomplished in a personal session and is part of theBetter-Being training package.

Many individuals are unknowingly in a chronic state of low to high-level stress. When triggered by an event, feeling or thought, adrenaline gets activated and the nervous system shifts into overdrive. Breathing and heart rate increase, pupils dilate, and the body sweats a bit more. As mentioned in FAQ’s, this allows one to better deal with stressors at hand. Unfortunately, events or thoughts not warranting a stress response subconsciously turn on the alarm system. If it happens often enough (especially in the developmental years) it can re-normalize physiology to an “on” or “semi-on” position leaving the individual with a mild to a strong case of often undiagnosed PTSD.

Professional practitioners have used neurofeedback for decades to help patients with a wide variety of mental health conditions. I (author of the website) have used a wide variety neurofeedback modalities on myself, family and many clients. Many of these tools such as meditation and/or Tech Assisted Meditation are anti-aging and peak performance practices that are offered as part of a health and personal growth regimen. This can be very effective for helping dynamic families help their teens and tweens through those adolescent years. Even subtle thoughts can activate the nervous system. Without an effort to tame the mind, thoughts and feelings trigger hormones and neurotransmitters that cause emotional strife.

Unbalanced attentional styles are often an underlying cause of excess stress, especially in the business world. The ability to move from narrow focus –when working on the computer, under fixed deadlines, or dealing with an unruly co-worker)– to open focus (e.g., when in nature) is key to a more relaxed brainwave state, mental flexibility and rejuvenating sleep. Neuro-Synchrony training builds awareness of these states and rather quickly trains the subconscious ability to shift in and out of varied attentional styles and predominant brainwave states -alpha, beta, theta; and to a lighter degree delta & gamma. This training serves as a catalyst for moving toward deeper states in meditation or more alert states of focus and attention — without coffee or other medicinals. While Neuro-Synchrony training utilizes analogue neurofeedback technology, it’s efficacy is a result of combining 5-sensor neurofeedback with audio-visual entrainment to move the brain toward the intended synchronous brainwave state. Neuro-synchrony training is conducted at our office in Pleasanton, CA.

Customized protocols and training based on full QEEG brain-maps can be very helpful for those whoprefer customized training protocols based on the results of having an expert look at their brain-map and provide recommended protocols. This is a more holistic and life changing alternative to prescription medications or plant medicines which most people habituate to in time. Depending on how “stuck” one’s brain is, a minimum of 20 to 30 sessions is usually required to see permanent results. Q-based neurofeedback is an accelerated form of consciousness training for those that can afford it. We can also provide or rent out home training equipment for those that care to train in the comfort of their own home.
