Wild Divine Relaxing Rhythms (Biofeedback Software and Hardware for PC and Mac)

It doesn't take much to increase medical bills if anxiety, stress, and blood pressure are a concern. Instead of spending an hour waiting for your doctor and then additional expense on prescriptions, use that time to learn breathing and relaxation techniques that you can use most anywhere.This is not a quick fix, not a gimmick, it takes practice and patience, and the program gives you immediate feedback on your progress, and has the option to keep a history of your gains. There are various exercises and challenges. I found some easier than others, so each person is likely to run into something that will keep interest going for a long time to come. I anticipate it will be a while before I master all of the possibilities.There are multiple levels of difficulties. If over the course of a year, a person spent 100 hours on this program, that comes out to about $3/hour to learn lasting stress reduction approaches that are built on natural principles, that can be used anywhere.A good set up will help a lot - comfortable chair, quiet room, minimal external stimulation and interruption. Think of it as "quiet time" with yourself. Noise cancelling headphones can be used to shut out distracting sounds as needed. Others may have different experiences, but for me at least 30 minutes/session has worked, a couple of times/week. I find myself looking forward to it. I've done it as much as an hour at once, with rewarding progress. The better I get while hooked up to Healing Rhythms the faster I am able to induce relaxation while away from it.The program instructions mention something that is absolutely true. If you are the competitive type and try to outwit the program, you won't get very far. The harder your try, the more you impede your progress. You learn quickly that "less is more."If you are serious about managing unhealthy stress, are willing to do your part and take the time to pay close attention to your body and teach yourself natural approaches, Healing Rhythms will do its part to take you on that journey as far as you want to go.I know there are other approaches for controlling blood pressure naturally. I haven't tried any others. This is to say that Healing Rhytms isn't the only way to achieve such goals, but so far my experience is that it is a good one.

Im surprised this product is still available for purchase since you will get absolutely no support in either installation or problems that should arise with your game. The program worked wonderfully when the company kept up with the changes made by computer development but eventually they simply stopped. I've gone in circles with tech support and basically they will offer you nothing in the way of getting the purchased software to work on either my iMac or the recently purchased windows computer. I must mention at this point that I purchased the HP windows computer only because this and other wild divine programs that I loved and used daily had become unstable on my Apple computers. Purchase at your own risk because Wisdom Quest no longer works on windows 8.

I am disappointed in the inconsistent performance of the hardware. Frequently it tells me that the biofeedback electrodes aren't connected The verbal instructions to induce relaxation and calm are pleasant and easy to follow.

My start was from Googling "heart trouble" biofeedback or some such, and finding a wild chorus of voices: "No beta blocker needed, no surgery, instead use biofeedback &/ or meditation." Well, it worked just using the Amazon sold product a lttle bit. Heart rhythm back to normal w/o beta blocker (reduced dosage, dropped all pills after a few days, reduced sodium in diet to near zero).However, product never worked fully for me, still working on proper attachment, lotion (?) for finger contacts, am told to use "conductivity gel," but haven't tried that yet. Neve saw balloons rise, rocks pile high, probably because of faulty finger contact. Too old too, for long lectures from Depak alhough I am a fan of his. As an ardent Jesus freak, this part is a little off-putting to me, sorry.

It was easier to me to understand what is concentrate my attention in only one single point. Keep me focused in that point. Organize my breath rhythm, following the butterfly rhythm (showed in the software screen). Measure how long and the quality of the concentration I'm able to keep. Finally learn that this is meditation... Nothing different than regular procedures we already knew. The great difference is the result we get learning how keep concentrate and increase our results in our regular daily life. I do recommend to a student, a professional, a doctor, a driver... an elderly or young person. Why 4 stars? Because every time I want to see how was my last experience, for example, I have to exit the software and start again.

I am very pleased with the Healing Rhythms,it is a very useful tool for mediation. It has guided meditations that walk you through the process. It also tracks your progress through the sensors and is very helpful. It is my first time working with biofeedback and I am very pleased.

Note to the Wild Divine people: if you're going to charge $300 a pop for your product and you know it doesn't work with a major operating system, you might want to let people know.Lion OS X for Mac has been out for quite a while, and the folks over at Wild Divine: 1. apparently aren't going to make their software compatible; and 2. are going to start charging people who use the iOM machine for an online account.Not. Helping. My. Stress. Levels.
