Inneractive Aura Video Systems

Scientific Background Data

The key of Inneractive Inc.’s Aura Video Technology is the correlation between the measured biofeedback data with the specific emotional and energetic states of a client. Biofeedback is the science of measuring and displaying unconscious psycho-physiological parameters. The goal is to bring these parameters into awareness, so that the client has the ability to notice and change them. Our systems are based on these principles.

When we developed our Aura Video Systems, our main goal was to measure biofeedback data and display this information in a very colorful, easy-to-understand and visual way. We wanted to create a product that the client could understand very easily, while providing insightful and in-depth information. Many professional biofeedback devices present such complex graphs, complicated meters and difficult scientific language that the client simply does not understand the information. Thus the meaning and implication of the data are lost.

In our case, we use color, visual pictures and images, and assign each parameter a specific meaning. For example, describing what “GSR” or “TEMP” relates to in our system was essential. Defining these parameters and displaying them with high sensitivity and complexity has been a challenge, but we are proud to say that we have achieved our goal.

Our process is absolutely scientific and completely user-friendly and easy to understand. We measure biofeedback data like electro-dermal activity and temperature from several points on the outer portion of the palm side of the left hand. Then we analyze this complex data with our software program that is based on our own empirical biofeedback/aura/chakra energy research and on standard biofeedback technology. We then present and display this measured information and data onscreen in many different ways, such as a representation of the client’s aura and chakras, biofeedback graphs and meters, etc. This process is completely scientific and empirically valid. The essential difference between our Aura Video Technology and standard biofeedback equipment is that we use colors, shapes and other multimedia tools to show and visualize the measured data and information.

Our technology goes beyond convential science in that we correlate the measured biofeedback data to a client’s aura and chakras. Once we display colors as a representation of each client’s aura or energy field, we are opening into another dimension. The correlation of the biofeedback data with the specific aura-chakra states has been achieved by working with health practioners, sensitive's who have empirically verified our personality profiles and our emotional-mental patterns with the measured data.

This method is based on the same principles used by Dr. Valerie Hunt and Thelma Moss in the 1970’s at the University of California at Los Angeles to study the human aura. Dr. Hunt had clairvoyants look at a human subject and describe the aura colors around the body. She then measured with biofeedback devices the frequencies and parameters via sensors. Dr. Hunt established a correlation between the measured data and the aura color described by the sensitive. Whenever a specific color was described by the sensitive, they would see the specific frequencies or patterns of the measured biofeedback data.

This research and scientific principles comprise of the basis of the rather young science of Aura Video Systems. Much more research needs to be done to validate and scientifically prove this young technology so it will be fully accepted in the scientific community. We are currently in the process of setting up research projects with doctors, health practioners and universities in the United States and other parts of the world.

Our goal is to scientifically verify the accuracy of Inneractive’s Aura Video Systems and expand the applications and uses of this powerful and exciting technology.

However, Health practioners and educators have embraced this technology and used it over the last five years with tremendous success, mainly because of its many applications.

We believe that Inneractive’s Aura Video Systems has been so successful because they bridge the knowledge of technology and science with intuitive knowledge and energetic wellness information.

Biofeedback Basics

Introduction to Biofeedback for a person beginning to Receive Personal Training

Biofeedback is a coaching and training process which helps people learn how to change patterns of behavior, physiological response patterns to take greater self responsibility for their health and for their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual functioning.

In all biofeedback, some form of technology is used to provide extra information beyond the ability of normal senses about some bodily (physiological) function. The person first uses the information as feedback to increase awareness of consciousness of the changes in the body/mind function. Then, the feedback is used to learn to develop new levels of voluntary self-control over the function.

Biofeedback training usually involves the following body measures:

 EMG (electomyograph = muscle) for relaxation, muscle pattern optimization, sports performance,

 EEG (electroencephalograph = brain waves) Attention, mental clarity, relaxation, meditation

 Thermal (blood flow in fingers and toes) relaxation

 Respiratory (breathing) relaxation

 SCL (Skin Conductance Level = related to sweat gland activity) relaxation

Studies have shown that after adequate training, including training to transfer the self control skills to real life, people automatically and effortlessly use the skills they have learned in biofeedback. Usually people use the skills to bring aspects of their life into better balance and to function at a higher, more optimal level. If they have anxiety, stress, attention, or performance problems, these will often respond very well to biofeedback

Training, usually either disappearing altogether or decreasing in frequency, severity, intensity and duration.

Once you learn to voluntarily control what were previously involuntarily, subconsciously, or habitually controlled behaviors, you then go on to develop new, positive automatic self-responsible habits. It's like riding a bike. Once you learn it, you can do it. You don’t have to re-learn it, though you may be a bit wobbly if you don’t ride for ten years.

With biofeedback you learn skills which you will use and practice on a regular basis. It is not a treatment that is done to you. It is a learning process that you can integrate into your repertoire of inner strengths and skills. A good trainer will combine biofeedback with the activities that challenge you, such as reading, studying, problem solving, concentrating. You learn to recognize how it feels when you are focusing more effectively and when you are spacing out, allowing yourself to become distracted.

If you exercise in a gym, lifting weights and using muscle building machines, after a 30 or forty sessions your muscles will be bigger. If you keep at the exercise, they will stay that way. If you just stop exercising altogether, the new muscle tissue will go away. It is believed that with brainwave biofeedback, a similar process occurs. Over the course of thirty to forty sessions, more blood goes to the areas of the brain being trained and eventually, more blood vessels grow there, increasing the vascularazation of that part of the brain. PET scan studies seem to support this theory.

If you continue to use your brain i.e. keep exercising it – at the new level, then the improvements are retained – even without the continued use of biofeedback for most people.

When it comes to ADD, the results are sometimes good enough so people can stop or reduce med's. Sometimes the results are only improvements in aspects med's don’t help.

The same is true for other forms of biofeedback. Sometimes hypertensive's get off all med's, sometimes they cut back, sometimes the blood pressure just becomes more stable. Headache sufferers whose headaches have been occurring because of less than optimal physiological balance and susceptibility to stress often rid their lives of headaches.

One variable in all this is responsibility. Biofeedback requires that the client work at it, do homework and take self responsibility for practice. It is not something one passively has done to oneself. This is often the reason for failures. The biofeedback process is not going to work if you don’t. Of course other valuable things, like freedom, intelligence, opportunity are like that too.

On the other hand, some people do not respond to biofeedback through no fault of their own, for various reasons. But it’s worth a try.

The biofeedback approach offered at the Center for Optimal Living is oriented toward helping the individual learn skills which will empower him or her to take greater self responsibility for health and all the other dimensions of functioning life, It is not a treatment or therapy. It is a coaching and training process. Some of the areas in which biofeedback has proven helpful by teaching people to optimize their mind/body functioning:

 Headache – Tension, Migraine, Mixed, etc.

 Stress/Panic Disorders

 Anxiety

 Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia

 Creativity, Personal Growth

 Consciousness Exploration

 High Blood Pressure

 Irritable Bowel, Colitis

 Incontinence

 Immune System Functioning: HIV, Cancer

 Arthritis Pain and Related Mobility

 Diabetic Neuropathy, Wound Healing & Claudicating
