Journey to Wild Divine/Bundle Pack: Passage & Wisdom Quest: Unique Product, Great Self-Administered Biofeedback + a Worldview of Compassion and Acceptance

I've been using this product for the last couple of years and remain as impressed as I was on the day I bought it. This is a uniquely presented self-administered biofeedback that - in addition to teaching the user how to relax - also imparts a world-view of compassion and acceptance.

Both the Journey and the package that offers stand-alone practice modules are useful. The Journey helps learn to win by accepting the possiblity of not winning - in other words, the game teaches process-orientation rather than outcome-orientation. Case in point: the less you try, the more you succeed. This is consistent with research on "flow" and performance. The stand-alone practices modules are useful as direct/on-demand practice opportunities. Wonderfully narrated, these practice modules allow you to both track your progress and keep an electronic journal (for post-meditational insights, etc.). The difference in approaches allows the use to "shop" for nuances and subtleties of different approaches to find a perfect fit.

This product - at, least this approach, - I hope, with time, will become part of the culture-wide psychological "hygiene." In short, this an excellent self-help modality and/or a wonderful supplement to psychotherapy. Self-help technology doesn't get any more "zen" than this!
