What is biofeedback? "Biofeedback is a type of complementary and alternative medicine called mind-body therapy. It's designed to enable you - in mind-over-matter fashion - to use your thoughts and will to control your body. Biofeedback is based on the idea, confirmed by scientific studies, that people have the innate potential to influence with their minds many of the automatic, involuntary functions of their bodies." (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/biofeedback/SA00083) |

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Light
SAD is influenced by two factors: light deprivation and stress. OSU students are particularly vulnerable to SAD because Corvallis is far enough north that January days are significantly short (one hour shorter than San Diego, CA). It is the shorter day, not the grey winter sky, that is responsible for the light deprivation that can trigger SAD. (Light has its effect through the eyes, so a tanning booth won't help.)
How do you treat SAD? Artificially lengthen your day. Increase indoor lighting. Come to the Mind Spa and use our SAD light, or rent a light box through Student Health Service. Want to know more? www.psycheducation.org/depression/LightTherapy.htm.

Human Touch Robotic Massage Chair
Select one of three automated programs of alternating massage modes which target different areas of your back. Or, customize your massage. You can position the massage rollers to target a specific spot.
Regular massage in high-end massage chairs puts the mind and body at ease by soothing sore muscles, relieving stress, and prompting the body to release endorphins which relieve tension and improve mood.

Lie back, listen to music or a guided meditation, or enjoy the soothing sounds of the wall fountain. |

High Intensity Negative Ion Generator
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in some places - think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that improve mood, relieve stress, and boost daytime energy.
Plug in the negative ion generator (located behind the massage chair), and attach the wrist strap to close the circuit and increase the generator's effectiveness. Want to know more? http://asp.cumc.columbia.edu/psych/asktheexperts/ask_the_experts_inquiry.asp?SI=102
