HAVE YOU EVER STOOD on a crowded subway train or sat in a traffic jam, wishing that you could escape to an island of tranquility or to a spa where you would be pampered and allowed to "just let go"? Well, you can.

I have just completed a thorough review of the latest entry from the Wild Divine Project, and it is an antidote to stress and jangled nerves in our over-stimulated world. Healing Rhythms™ is an opportunity to have a full scale healing spa experience at home, and to recreate the experience again and again whenever you want it.

The software arrived during the hectic holiday season, and just looking at the packaging was a reminder that I needed to make time for myself and relaxation as the New Year began. I have experienced both previous offerings from the Wild Divine project, so thought this might be something similar, but it was not. Whereas the previous products were journeys into a fantasy world, and moving through a series of events in order to be aware of how we handle stress, Healing Rhythms™ is a healing spa experience that we might have if we were going to an actual $500 a day retreat.

From the moment I entered the Healing Center, I was greeted by a wonderful feminine presence who explained what to expect, and what my options were. The serenity of the "room" looking out at water and Island Mountains was immediately calming, and the music was gentle and added to the ambiance of the experience.

With Healing Rhythms™ I had the choice of a guided training program, or an unstructured approach, with the option to shift between the two at any time. The Guided Training program consists of 15 steps that are divided into three sections. The first focuses on Self Discovery, and covers quieting the mind, observing our thoughts, finding inner balance, releasing physical tension, cultivating positive emotions, and revealing our inner wisdom.

Once we've completed these processes, which are hosted by some of the leading authorities in the health and wellbeing movement today, we move to the next section, Creating Happiness. Here we take a step-by-step approach to subduing our inner critic, opening ourselves to others, practicing compassion, discovering gratitude, and connecting to something outside ourselves where we can bring our gifts and service to others.

The final portion of the spa experience is focused on Developing Life Skills. We learn how to set our intentions, the importance of taking daily supplements for better health, how to commit to a personal practice, and blending what works to bring all the elements together - finding our own personal rhythm.

Side benefits of these explorations include an actual biofeedback tracking system that monitors our heart rate and skin response as we do the exercises. The sleekly designed biofeedback unit has an alternating rainbow of colors and is much smaller and sexier than the previous light stones used in the first two Wild Divine offerings.* Another marvelous addition is a journal within the program where we can write our observations after doing the exercises. The journal is maintained in a special file for our review, and the exercises are provided to give us an opportunity to practice what we've learned. Another intriguing aspect is that as we are being taught, the scenery changes from dawn to dusk as various birds fly by unexpectedly. The water ripples, and soft background music completes the serene environment, where we can stay as long as we want. An added bonus is a very well presented booklet that gives suggestions and tells about the step-by-step process we will undergo.

In total, Healing Rhythms™ is a premium package. You will not find this anywhere else, as it is the result of many years of planning, staging, and fine-tuning. It has my highest recommendation, and I suggest to anyone who works in a stress filled environment to give this to yourself as a gift. If you take only thirty minutes an evening to do one portion of the program, you will find yourself relaxed and dropping the day's tension. As I reviewed the program, I almost went to sleep, and my blood pressure dropped a good ten points. That is all to the good. We are living in an over-activated, high stress world, and whatever we can do in a positive and nourishing way to bring balance and harmony to our lives is well worth the initial cost because WE are worth it!

* For those of you who have experienced the Wild Divine's first two offerings, The Journey to Wild Divine, and the second offering, Journey to Wild Divine Wisdom Quest, you are aware of the bluestone bio-feedback sensor. In this edition, the feedback sensor is an elegant space age device that pulses rainbow colors. It takes up much less room and is easy to use. The only disappointing element for users of the past two products is that the experiential events are taken from the last two Journeys, so they are not new - but are the best of prior biofeedback experiences for anyone using this home software spa.
