A Health & Beyond Review:
Journey to Wild Divine
by Chet Day
I guess the last time I was totally blown away by a game was back in 1985 when I bought my first computer -- an Apple IIc -- and then spent over a month's worth of my spare time exploring the underground world of Infocom's synapse-crunching adventure game, Zork.
Well, as I write these words in mid-April of 2005, I've been having the same kind of goosebump experiences with The Wild Divine Project's inner-active adventure for mind and body, Journey to Wild Divine.
Unlike traditional computer games, Journey to Wild Divine incorporates a biofeedback unit called the Light Stone that allows the story and events of the game to unfold based on your brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, heart rate and other critical bodily functions.
Stop for a second and let that one sink it.
Yes, this is a computer adventure game that you not only control and influence with your intellect by figuring out what to do next, but it's also an inner-active journey that reacts in different ways depending on your
- brain activity
- blood pressure
- muscle tension
- heart rate
- and other critical bodily functions.
Tell me that isn't just about the coolest thing you've heard recently?
You see, the Journey to Wild Divine's innovative biofeedback hardware measures your skin conductance level (SCL) and your heart rate variability through three "Magic Ring" sensors gently attached to your fingers. The measurements are registered through the Light Stone and fed back to you through biofeedback "events" on the screen.

Absolutely Stunning Graphics
Wearing the three finger sensors, you move through enchanting and mystical landscapes using
the power of your thoughts, feelings, breath and awareness.
The graphics in Journey to Wild Divine are breath-taking in places and simply stunning in others. The colors are so intense in places they practically shimmer.
If you put the lights down low or (as I do) play the game at night with all room lights turned off, you'll feel as if the normal world dropped away when you entered the visually stunning world created by the Wild Divine graphic artists.
I've not been this impressed with graphics since the first time I played the original Myst when it first came out for our Macintosh.
And the music...
Whoa, talk about theme-appropriate music that's both beautiful and peaceful.
If you're into uplifting music, you're going to enjoy the atmospheric sounds of Journey to Wild Divine as much as you do the stunning graphics and engaging game play.

What about Help Files?
Instead of cheat files, a number of wise and interesting mentors guide you throughout the realm of the Wild Divine.
Each of them empowers you with yoga, breathing and meditation skills that you'll need to complete over 40 biofeedback energy events.
For example, you'll interact with Sophia, who introduces the journey to you and explains what your adventure will entail.
And you'll learn breathing and body-stilling techniques from a Zen master who not only teaches you what to do in his training palace but who also appears at other points in the journey to help you continue to grow.
Learning from your mentors and using the power of your mind and body through the biofeedback Light Stone, you will
- Build stairways with your breath
- Open doors with meditation
- Levitate a sphere with your thoughts
- Control the intensity of rainfall
- Juggle balls with your laughter
- Shoot arrows at a target
- Fly kites from a mountain perch
- Fan the flames of a fireplace
- and much, much more.

Journey to Wild Divine as a Meditation Tool
If you've been reading my newsletters or website for any length of time, you know that I've been meditating since 1980 and that I consider meditation one of the most important tools for a long, happy, and healthy life.
Unfortunately, up until now, many people never gave meditation a chance because they just didn't like the idea of sitting quietly or counting their breaths or chanting mantras.
Well, with Journey to Wild Divine you'll use biofeedback to learn how to calm your body and enter into the same kind of healthful state that you can achieve through traditional meditation... and, importantly and significantly, you'll have fun doing it!
I'm not alone in thinking the Journey to Wild Divine is better than sliced bread.

Journey to Wild DivineThe 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.

Mending the Mind, Inner Peace for Busy PeopleThe 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.

Like having Yoda in your living room...
Well, I don't know about that.
I mean, seriously, I find Yoda rather annoying, and I wouldn't want him in my living room other than as an occasional invited guest.
But, with that said, Journey to Wild Divine is an excellent product, especially for people who want a scientifically-validated way to learn to relax their minds and bodies while listening to soothing music and having fun.
A Nonviolent Gaming Alternative
It's also a totally nonviolent game that many children, teen-agers, and young adults will find a welcome (and challenging) relief to the shoot-em-up, violent games that populate the video and computer stores and catalogs.
Sadly, my sons grew up and moved out before Journey to Wild Divine came along.
I sure wish this nonviolent alternative had been available when they were still hanging around and wasting so much of their developing brain power to shoot and kill tens of thousands of computer game monsters.
But I suspect many boys and teens will find the biofeedback challenges in Journey to Wild Divine interesting enough to at least spend some of their gaming time with it rather than with Grand Theft Auto or some such nonsense.

Wholehearted Endorsement
Long-time readers of my newsletters and website visitors know that I advertise tons of stuff but that I only rarely endorse and recommend anything.
Well, I'm happy to say that Journey to Wild Divine has earned the Health & Beyond stamp of approval.
Journey to Wild Divine is a superb product, both as a tool for improved health and well-being as well as a game that's fun to play for kids and adults.
This is one of those rare purchases that you'll appreciate making for a long time to come.
