Yes, and people at LW are in generally very bad at simple. People here have the skills for dealing with complex intellectual subjects.
The problem with “be still” is that it leaves you with question like: “4 minutes in the meditation I feel the desire to adjust my position, what do I do?” It doesn’t give you a easy criteria to decide when moving to change your position violates “be still” and when it doesn’t.
Can you point me to any articles/sites about biofeedback devices? Have you done biofeedback yourself?
Doing biofeedback is still on my todo list.
My device knowledge might be 1-2 years out of date. Before that point the situation was that
emWave2 and wilddivine were the good non-EGG based solutions. Good EGG based solutions are more expensive. See also a QS-forum article on neurofeedback.
Even through the QS forum is very low in terms of posts, posting a question there on topics like this is still a good idea (Bias disclosure: I’m a mod at the QS-Forum).
Among those two emWave2 basically only goes over heart rate variance (HRV) and WildDevine also measures skin conductance level (SCL) with is a proxy for the amount that you sweat. WildDevine also has a patent for doing biofeedback with HRV + SCL.
emWave2 is with 149$ at the moment AFAIK the cheapest choice for a good device that comes with a good explanation of how to do training with it and that you can just use as is.
(this may sound snarky, but isn’t) Did you learn meditation from a teacher, or from a step-by-step book?
I started with learning meditation from a book by Aikido master Koichi Tohei ten years ago. I have roughly three years of in person training. I also have NLP/Hypnosis training since that time. If I would switch out an emotional response of the bomb swat, then hypnosis is probably the tool of choice. With biofeedback I would see no reason for overcompensation. Switching out an emotional response via hypnosis on the other hand can lead to such effects. Hearing an alarm of an ambulance might also lower my heart rate ;)
There are also safety issues. I don’t like the idea of people messing themselves up and are faced with experiences that they can’t handle because they don’t have proper supervision.
