The
Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage
_____
Topline
Overview
The Journey
to Wild Divine: The Passage features a spectacular,
interactive biofeedback program and hardware (for your PC or Mac) to
help teach powerful breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques.
It's a visually stimulating, hands-on experience in the comfort of your
home. Remarkable if you ask anyone who's tried it. We did, and found it
quite impressive. It's no wonder distribution has significantly
increased for Wild
Divine products.
The Journey
to Wild Divine: The Passage was designed with the
knowledge of experts in the fields of spiritual consciousness and
biofeedback technology, and is endorsed by well-known authorities in
the health and self-improvement industry such as Deepak Chopra (MD),
Carolyn Myss, and Dean Ornish (MD).
Interesting side note: The
Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage was sent to the Dalai
Lama, and he actually replied back with a very nice comment about the
product and its technology. That's pretty neat.
After an enjoyable test drive, we give The Journey to Wild Divine: The
Passage a thumbs up. Although the
product runs about $160, there is a lot of solid technology and design
behind it to justify the one-time investment. (In fact, other
Biofeedback machines using some of the same technology run
easily up into
the thousands.) To help offset the cost a little, we've identified some discounts and promotions
below.
From a health, relaxation, and mental well-being standpoint, The Journey to Wild Divine: The
Passage, is a
valuable tool. Read on for more details, including functionality, and
benefits.

How
it Works
In a nutshell... Imagine connecting a biofeedback mechanism to your
home computer to measure vital signs such as your heart rate activity
and skin response. (All you do is plug it in and gently clip on three
finger sensors.)
Now imagine launching a computer program like you would any other. Then
take a deep breath as you're immersed in a world of exotic vistas,
serene temples, and beautiful garden settings. An engaging sound track
sets an introspective mood.
Just a few sample images (places to visit & meditate):
Online meditation guides (actual on-screen personalities) walk you
through interactive, experiential, breathing and meditation exercises.
You literally use the
power of your thoughts, feelings, breath and awareness to control the
progression of your journey, and to get to the next level. No kidding
on this - the biofeedback sensors "keep it real world" by sending the
information into the computer for analysis.
The result is pretty incredible. You can see your mind and body
affecting what is happening on-screen instantly in over 40 breathing
and meditation activities. And the program is no push-over. When we
tried it, it actually took a good while to clear a couple of the
levels. When you finally get it (i.e., achieving a very relaxed state)
and pass the level, you've actually learned something. In fact, it's
much easier when you try it again the next time around. In the end, you
can then remember how you got to that state of mind and body, and try
to apply it to your daily life. Unwinding when you get home. Getting
calm at the office. Dog ripped up the mail again? You get the idea. All
in all, this product is another valuable tool for our "health and
wellness" toolboxes.

Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage, you can visit

introduction from Deepak Chopra.

Benefits
As we tried out The
Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage, we were able to
identify a number of great benefits.
As it mentions on the Wild Divine site,
the product helps a person learn to use the power of our thoughts,
feelings, breath, and awareness to:
- Increase relaxation
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Restore balance and vitality
- Improve physical and mental wellbeing
The
Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage is quite entertaining,
and at the same time can provide more awareness of our own internal
states of consciousness. Other potential benefits from its use include:
- A clearer state of mind
- Greater understanding of the mind/body
connection
- More energy and relaxation
It's a great addition to your wellness
program for a healthy mind and
body. According to Dr. Bob Whitehouse, psychologist and biofeedback
expert, who has consulted on the product, "biofeedback uses electronic
equipment to monitor people's internal physiological states and gives
feedback that helps the recipient learn how to control these states, to
activate balance, release or to recover from them."
In general, relaxation practices and exercises have been reported to:
- Lower blood pressure
- Combat fatigue
- Promote sleep
- Reduce pain
- Ease muscle tension
Psychology
Today writes that, "Neuroscientists have found
that meditators shift their brain activity to different areas of the
cortex - brain waves in the stress-prone right frontal cortex move to
the calmer left frontal cortex. This mental shift decreases the
negative effects of stress, mild depression and anxiety. There is also
less activity in the amygdala, where the brain processes fear."
And aside from the product itself and how it can help us,  Wild Divine stands
behind its 100% Satisfaction Guarantee,
with 30 days for a full refund. (One would only need to cover return
shipping. That's an acceptable practice. No restocking fees or other
tricks - it's very low-risk for the consumer.)
