Neurofeedback Training and Meditation - Do they give you the same results?

Natalie Baker, Therapist, Meditation Teacher and Certified NeurOptimal® Trainer discuss the benefits of neurofeedback training and meditation. Learn how they are similar in how they can impact our focus, awareness, and brain functioning. There are also dramatic differences in the areas of the brain that are engaged and outcomes. NeurOptimal neurofeedback changes the unconscious limbic brain and the stress response. Learn how and the ideal state for practicing meditation and how NeurOptimal neurofeedback creates the ideal conditions for the best outcomes in your meditation practice.

"I have been a meditation practitioner for 30 years and a psychotherapist in private practice for over 20 years. 10 years ago I brought NeurOptimal® neurofeedback into my Psychotherapy Practice so I get questions from people about does neurofeedback replace meditation can I meditate while I'm doing neurofeedback what's the difference between what the two do for yourself so I thought I would take a little bit of time to talk about my own experience and observations with NeurOptimal neurofeedback and how it relates to meditation practice."

Thank you! This was very informative. I am excited about learning more about neurofeedback.

[@Neurofeedbacktraining]

That's great! It's an amazing transformational tool. Check out our article on neurofeedback systems; not all are created equal! blog.neurofeedbacktraining.com/best-home-neurofeedback-systems-what-are-your-options

What city and state is your practice out of and have you had any luck with medicare and or medicade covering the neurofeedback sessions you provide. If so what codes do you submit to these innsurance companies? Thanks

Hi Matthew, thanks for reaching out. Please send me an email to discuss your situation. natalie@neurofeedbacktraining .com

@@Neurofeedbacktraining Okay thanks I sent you an email as requested if you want to check and see if you got it Have a good day

These systems and or courses of sessions are still prohibitively expensive. Brainwave entrainment systems that do not require a subscription are affordable options.

You make a valid point! I understand your concerns about the cost of neurofeedback systems like the one offered by Neurofeedback Training Co., especially when compared to more affordable brainwave entrainment devices. It's important to clarify that brainwave entrainment devices and the NeurOptimal neurofeedback system serve different purposes and are built on distinct technologies. Brainwave entrainment devices are designed to induce immediate changes in your state by encouraging your brain to synchronize its wave patterns to the frequencies provided by the device-think of it as temporarily tuning a radio to a specific station. These devices are indeed more affordable and can be effective for short-term state changes, making them a great support if that’s your goal. On the other hand, the NeurOptimal neurofeedback system operates more like a highly sophisticated educational tool for your brain. It doesn’t simply induce a state change; rather, it provides your brain with information about its own activity, allowing it to self-adjust and optimize its functioning over time. This process is akin to teaching someone how to ride a bike as opposed to just giving them a push scooter. While riding a bike requires more skill and practice (and potentially more investment in a quality bike), the long-term benefits-increased balance, flexibility, and endurance-surpass what you can achieve with a scooter, which is simpler to use but offers limited capabilities. While the initial cost of a system like NeurOptimal may seem high, it's a reflection of its advanced technology and the long-term benefits it offers. It's an investment in comprehensive, enduring brain health and performance enhancement, rather than just a temporary aid. We appreciate that the cost can be a barrier, and we strive to make our systems as accessible as possible, including offering payment plans and session packages.

@@atelier27 Thank you for your insightful follow-up! It's great to hear that you have experience with different neurofeedback technologies like the LENS system, which indeed varies from other forms of neurofeedback in its approach and effects. You make a valid point about the potential benefits of entrainment systems acting as "training wheels," helping users become accustomed to certain brain states, which could potentially facilitate easier access to these states over time. This can certainly be beneficial and serve as a stepping stone towards more sophisticated cognitive training tools. Regarding accessibility, you're absolutely right, and it's an important issue we continuously strive to address. We understand that the higher cost of advanced neurofeedback systems can be a significant barrier. This is why we are committed to exploring various options to increase accessibility, such as offering rental options, financing plans, and working with insurance providers where possible. Our goal is to make these powerful tools as accessible as possible to those who could benefit from them. We also support and appreciate the community of users who explore various methods to improve brain function, including more affordable options. It's all about finding what works best for you at your current point in life and what aligns with your needs and financial situation. Thank you again for engaging in this conversation and for your thoughtful perspective!
