Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation

Our country setting is a perfect place for calm serenity and relaxtion; a place for meditation and quite reflection far away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic suburban lifestyle.

But, what if your one of those folks who just can't seem to relax no matter where you are? Perhaps, you feel anxious most of the time, uneasy or tense. Maybe you feel emotionally overwhelmed at times. Depressed? Unmotivated? Perhaps your frequently bothered by odd feelings, strange experiences, or sudden shifts in your mood. Or maybe you suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or have experiences related to a previous head injury (ie., reduced memory, concentration or focus).

Are you longing to return to a more positive and familiar way of 'being'?

Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation is a completely natural, safe, and non-invasive way to achieve a sense of deep relaxation, emotional calm, and clarity of thought. For many, it has become a natural alternative to anti-depressant medication.

Our magnetic technique is the culmination of over 20 years of research by the Laurentian University Neuroscience Research Group and has been clinically proven to help...

Reduce feelings of pain, fear, sadness, depression & anxiety.
Reduce negative emotions and promote more positive thinking.
Improve night time sleep and daytime fatigue.
Improve motivation, memory and concentration.
Enhance physical performance.
Promote overall feelings of wellness.

How Does It Work?

Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation works by enhancing deep relaxation alpha brain rhythms using complex, weak magnetic fields. Unlike medications such as anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs which can produce many side-effects because they influence every part of the brain-body system, Magnetic Relaxation produces absolutely no side effects, only a deep sense of calm and relaxation. People who meditate regularly using yoga and other techniques strive for this same state of meditative wakefullness described as having your mind free from all thoughts and being 'present in the moment'. While in this state of relaxed deep meditation and for a period of time afterwards people often experience clarity of thought, positive self awareness, and rejuvenation of their body and mind energy.

Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation produces these same positive results but in a much faster easier way than sitting for long hours in a lotus, training yourself not to think about thinking. Patented solenoid technology is used to generate a very weak (about the strength of your hairdryer) but complex and pulsed magnetic field that surrounds your head's temporal regions.

Who Does It Help?

Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation is completely safe and natural and although individual results do vary, it can help almost anyone who experiences negative thoughts and feelings associated with mild-moderate depression and/or anxiety. Magnetic Relaxation can be very helpful for people with certain sleeping difficulties and to help reduce pain experiences. Although Magnetic Relaxation uses very weak magnetic fields it is not recommended for persons with epilepsy or history of seizures. However, subclinical complex partial seizure activity is known to dramatically diminish with complex magnetic field applications. It is not a substitute for treatment for severe or highly complex cases of psychological disorders.

If you are frequently bothered by the following experiences, then Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation can help.

headaches
sleeping difficulties
fatigue
somatic complaints
significantly depressed mood
increased anxiety
hypersensitivity to light and/or sound
sensed presence
odd, unexplained tastes and/or smells

Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation is a simple technique that can easily enhance the benefits of more traditional psychological therapy.

What Can I Expect?

Although introductory sessions are offered to people who would like to try this amazing technology the full benefits of this type of therapy are normally recognized with 4 sessions lasting 30-45 minutes each, once per week for 4 consecutive weeks. Magnetic Enhanced Relaxation sessions are designed to produce a state of deep relaxation and you may even fall asleep. Positive results can last hours, days, weeks, months, or permanently depending on frequency of sessions and severity of challenges.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of each hourly session is $65.00. Clinicians receive a free trial session to experience this technique and learn more how it can benefit their patients.
