Welcome to BIOFEEDBACK

~Heavy Critique Forum~


"Biofeedback operates on the notion that we have the innate ability and potential to influence the automatic functions of our bodies through the exertion of will and mind. Biofeedback has recently been shown to give us what had previously seemed an impossible degree of control over a variety of physiologic events. It is a great tool to harness the power of mind-body medicine."

From “The Healing Power of Meditation” by Michael Braunstein


BIOFEEDBACK is for HEAVY CRITIQUE. Poetry posted here will receive in-depth commentary and line-by-line analysis. This is a good place if you are at an ADVANCED level and are open to many differing opinions. All themes welcome with the exception of erotica.

Ñ This forum is intended for in-depth commentary and line-by-line analysis. Please do NOT post in this forum if you are thin-skinned or unaccustomed to critique forums.

Ñ If you are a beginner and wish more individualized assistance, please investigate ~SUBLUXATION~, our Workshop forum. If you are an intermediate poet and wish only light commentary or appreciation of your work, please investigate ~CREATIVE VISUALIZATION~, our Light Critique forum. If your work contains adult themes and content, please investigate ~THERAPEUTIC TOUCH~, our Adult Content forum.

Ñ The work posted here will be considered for Poem of the Week and the IBPC. Members are invited to nominate poems for Poem of the Week. Please see the WPF FAQs for more information.

Ñ This forum is NOT archived. Please keep a copy of your own work in a safe place. This forum is periodically cleared of old posts and comments (those 30 days old or older) to make room for new posts. This "housekeeping" is usually done by the staff on the first of every month, so if you want to keep copies of comments, please do so within the 30-day time frame.

Ñ You may edit posts within 60 days after their initial creation. After that time limit, you will need to request moderator assistance.

Ñ You may respond to any of the posts below by clicking on the link or post your own work by clicking on the "Start New Thread" link below.
