"The Wild Divine is helping to transform our mass consciousness to one of peace and harmony through a very practical program that allows people to get in intimate touch with the innermost core of their being. To know that they have more power than they have ever realized, to know that they can influence what is happening in their body, in their mind, in their emotions, as well as in the world that they create everyday."

What is Biofeedback?

Biofeedback is scientifically proven to have a powerful, positive effect on your emotional and physical well-being — by teaching you to alter your brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, heart rate and other critical bodily functions.

Clinical biofeedback techniques that have grown out of the early laboratory procedures are now widely used to treat an ever-lengthening list of conditions such as the following.

• Migraine headaches, tension headaches, and many other types of pain
• Disorders of the digestive system
• High blood pressure and low blood pressure
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Paralysis and other movement disorders
• Epilepsy
• Raynaud’s disease (a circulatory disorder that causes uncomfortably cold hands)

It has often been said that, "most people use only 10% of their brain," but then most people have never been taught how to increase that usage. Your brain is the central processing unit of your body and you can be in control of how you use your own brain. But few people have ever been taught how to use that control. Most parents and teachers themselves have never learned how to access these controls so how could they teach them? Thus the creation of the Wild Divine.

The Wild Divine is a "video game" but, instead of a control module or joystick, you travel through the various game levels (click here to see some screen shots) by using your own "will" power. Instead of "wishing" something will happen you learn how to "will" something to happen. By learning these techniques in a fun way, through the playing of a video game, you will gain the ability to use these same techniques in your everyday life.

THE SCIENCE OF BIOFEEDBACK

By Dr. Bob Whitehouse and Sunny Turner.

Biofeedback Technology in The Journey to Wild Divine

Dr. Bob Whitehouse is a psychologist certified in biofeedback, and a former board member for the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, and Sunny Turner is a MA/biofeedback practitioner.

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. Usually this also involves a coach, who guides the process, interprets the results, and makes suggestions. In The Journey to Wild Divine, however, the game itself gives you information about whether you're progressing or not. And, if you're having trouble, you can ask for help from a mentor within the game on how to change your energy.

The Journey's biofeedback component measures a player's Skin Conductance Level (SCL) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV). SCL measures sweat gland activity. Increased perspiration indicates increased autonomic nervous system activation, which is associated with increased energy-both positive, like excitement, and negative, like nervousness. See a demonstration.

HRV is calculated from the differences in heart rate from one heartbeat to another. No two intervals are exactly the same, and you need a device more sophisticated than just taking your pulse to determine it. Greater HRV is a healthy goal. In fact, people who exhibit this tend to live longer and enjoy life more. Parts of The Journey require users to attain this goal in order to move forward in the game.

Examining HRV is the fastest growing area in biofeedback and it can provide important methods of working with our own physiology. The Institute of HeartMath is one of many research groups that has been studying the effects of greater HRV. It combines research-based techniques and unique technology to help people fight the stresses of everyday life. Its research suggests that when you increase your HRV you can reach a state of coherence within the power spectrum frequencies of the heart that then gets the brain to synchronize with the heart and boost the immune system. This coherence pattern in the heart frequencies is also known as the heart's Resonant Frequency. Meditation, slow and easy abdominal breathing, or connecting with positive emotions are three researched ways for getting this desired pattern of both strength and balance. By synchronizing your heart rate with the breath (two skills that can be gained through playing The Journey), you can quite easily reach your heart's Resonant Frequency. . Also, when we are in this state of coherence, its desired vibration pattern ripples out around us in an electromagnetic doughnut shape detectable eight or more feet in all directions. It even shows up in the brainwaves of anyone we touch! Who wouldn't want to experience the positive effects of such a state more and more often?

Movement through parts of and ultimately the conclusion of The Journey is dependent upon a person's ability to regulate their energy or physiological reactions by experiencing the mind/body connection associated with such emotions as joy, hope, excitement, relaxation and patience, to mention a few. The body responds by increasing, decreasing or synchronizing body rhythms, like the Heart Breath, in a positive and healthy way. Most other biofeedback games simply tell people whether their SCL or pulse rate is moving up or down, and they have to figure out what's happening to them when this occurs. Usually these games require players to maintain just one thing-a very stable SCL or heart rate. At best, they can create some subtle changes to influence the outcome of the game.

To succeed in The Journey, players have to learn certain principles, which basically require an "allowing attitude"-a kind of passive will. It's the difference between saying "I must do this," and learning that the only way you're going to progress is by deepening your breathing or being in touch with more positive emotions or imagining that what you want to happen is already happening-bringing the wished-for event into the present.

In biofeedback terms, the game is set up so that players might actually have to raise either their sweat gland activity or heart rate in order to get through one particular barrier, while moving into a more balanced, or even calmer, state to successfully navigate another area. Progress in the game depends upon how well players integrate these biofeedback skills to accomplish the varying events.

At some point in the game, if a player has learned how to control their internal states to a degree, they can have an internal shift-something akin to an "aha" experience, where they just know how to do things. The game actually begins to occur in their minds. For example, they might just automatically let the inhale and exhale become equal in their breathing and deepen it a little bit. This would result in their going into the desired pattern of increased heart rate variability. Or they might accomplish the same thing by connecting with positive emotions. Continuing to play can result in a training effect, improving the capacity of the body to healthfully regulate itself.

The game gives players more awareness of the emotional, mental-and potentially spiritual-correlation of physical states. When players acquire enough awareness of how to make the shift from one state to another, they can begin to do this voluntarily. They can have integrated what we call our BEST team: Body, Emotions, Spirit and Thought.

"The Journey to Wild Divine is more than a game, it’s a tool for the Mind-Body work we value. It certainly has proven so with me – and it’s a hit with my patients. It’s an outstanding product and since it’s amazingly inexpensive, I encourage my patients to use it as home practice. It’s complex and challenging enough that no one has gotten tired of using it."

Some Testimonials

"My 11 year old daughter has been monopolizing my Wild Divine; It's
fascinating watching her progress. Even my husband is now using it to "get
present" after work--which is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you for the
wonderful program. Sincerely," MR

"I am only starting my journey, I wanted to write and thank you deeply for your
product, which has already profoundly touched my life. I have struggled with
chronic unipolar depression and anxiety for most of my life. . . Recently, I have
experienced great fluctuations of stress and anxiety . . . I find myself with more
energy, greater confidence, higher understanding, and more patience. I look
forward to my early morning sessions, when I 'plug in' before the rest of my
family is awake and venture on my journey inward. Thank you." TC

"Recently I've been diagnosed with herniated discs in the lumbar area and have
been living on pain killers and muscle relaxants for the last two weeks with little
or no relief.

While what I've read regarding herniated discs points to little success of the use
of biofeedback for the actual problem, I believe the researchers have overlooked the positive affects of allowing a person to relax to the point they are pain free
or get beyond the point of feeling the physical body.

For the first time in weeks last night I was not only able to sit comfortably in the
living room, but have been able to take the peaceful breath outside of the game
to help in sleeping and focusing on once again leading a normal life.

Thank you.... that is all I can say." PF

"Thanks again for all your hard work in making this game. It's really helping me a lot. I'm currently dealing with fibromyalgia, and since I started to play at the
end of December, I've been sleeping soundly all night, every night. Which is more wonderful than I can possibly describe to you!" RW

"Last week I plugged in the Journey to Wild Divine, my 60th birthday gift to
myself. The game is all that I hoped, and probably more. . . Yes, I love this
game, and have no doubts that I'll continue to use the magic rings to master the
events long after I know the outcome of The Journey.

I've known for years that biofeedback is highly recommended for asthma and
high blood pressure, two afflictions that I suffer at a low level. . . For several
years I've looked for affordable computerized biofeedback equipment, but found
nothing under several thousand dollars. That equipment has boring tones and
graphs for feedback.

When I found a link to the Journey to Wild Divine on Dr. Weil's site, I knew my
search was at an end . . . All this at the approximate cost of two professional
biofeedback sessions. I am and will continue to be thrilled." SL

"I got this game four months ago for my 15 year old daughter, who's
suffering due to the contentious divorce of her father and me. She was diagnosed with depression . . . insurance issues have postponed that indefinitely. Knowing biofeedback might help relieve her stress, I got this game and she took to it like a duck to water. Her depression has lifted, and the only thing that's changed since March was her regular play with this game. You should have heard the celebration when she finally got the feather to drop! We eagerly await the sequel, and I can't express enough my appreciation for your product. Thanks." AR
