Healing Rhythms


Can computer software give you a spiritual experience? Strangely, yes!

You probably know all the benefits. Research shows meditation promotes greater physical, mental and emotional health, as well as happiness, better concentration, less stress, etc. It even helps to eliminate disorders such as hypertension, asthma, insomnia and Alzheimer’s. In fact, some studies show it can help your mind evolve up to two levels, according to Integral Philosopher, Ken Wilber.

And I haven’t even mentioned the spiritual benefits!

All this in mind, I tend to regard meditation as just as vital to wellbeing as going to the gym, so when my lifestyle changed recently in a way that seems to have wiped out my meditation practice, I started hunting for new ways to bring it back into my life…

But it still wasn’t happening!

I finally settled on a choice that may seem a little ridiculous: I bought a computer program to help me meditate ~ and it works! Created by the Wild Divine Project in partnership with Sounds True, there actually are multiple products, but the one I bought and use daily is called Healing Rhythms. The program combines meditation exercises (and some intriguing games) led by several luminaries including Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil and Dean Ornish; with a biofeedback connection to help you learn to relax, focus, energize, etc. You can use it in 5-minute chunks or sit for longer periods. For me, it means I can quickly shift into a more coherent state rapidly as needed. Very handy if I’ve just been though a stressful event and need to shift into greatness for a coaching session or teleclass.

Healing Rhythms also claims to heal various conditions. I’m using it to overcome my post-holiday sugar cravings and it has virtually eliminated them. Losing weight is suddenly easy for me.

I believe in this product enough to become an affiliate. If you want more meditation in your life and you need a tool to help you maintain your practice, this could be it! Find out more here:
