Biofeedback ✅mind-body technique that uses instruments to teach self-regulation and
voluntary self-control over specific physiological responses.
Acupuncture ✅egulates or realigns the vital energy (qi), which flows like a river through
the body in channels that form a system of 20 pathways called meridians. An
obstruction in these channels blocks energy flow in other parts of the body.
Acupuncturists insert needles into the skin in specific areas along the channels called
acupoints, through which the qi can be influenced and flow reestablished.
Progressive relaxation ✅training teaches an individual how to effectively rest and
reduce tension in the body. The person learns to detect subtle localized muscle tension
sequentially, one muscle group at a time (e.g., the upper arm muscles, the forearm
muscles). In doing so, an individual learns to differentiate between high-intensity
tension, subtle tension, and relaxation, by practicing with different muscle groups
Passive relaxation ✅the goal of passive relaxation is to still the mind and body
intentionally without the need to tighten and relax any particular body part. One effective
passive relaxation technique incorporates slow, abdominal breathing exercises while
imagining warmth and relaxation flowing through specific body parts such as the lungs
or hands.
Reiki therapy ✅biofield therapy derived from ancient buddhist rituals; practitioner
places hands on or above a body area and transfers "universal life energy," providing
strength, harmony, and balance to treat a patient's health disturbances
