Claim One:
1. A device for indicating the state of relaxation or tension of an individual with respect to a particular optimum predetermined temperature of the individual as measured by the individual's fingertip skin temperature comprising: a thermally conductive planar surface; two temperature sensitive liquid crystal indicators located on said planar surface, one indicator only becoming visible when the individual's fingertip skin temperature is less than the predetermined temperature, and the second indicator only becoming visible when the individual's skin temperature is greater than the predetermined temperature; and a plurality of temperature sensitive liquid crystal relaxation cues located on said planar surface, said relaxation cues becoming visible only when the skin temperature of the individual is less than that of the predetermined temperature of the individual, wherein said temperature sensitive liquid crystal indicators indicate the proximity of the individual's fingertip skin temperature to that of the predetermined temperature and said temperature sensitive relaxation cues assist the individual in attaining the predetermined temperature by allowing the individual to recall certain learned relaxation techniques.
