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:

Starved for Inspiration?

OK, I'm re-inspired to the max.

Just attended a one-day seminar with the EnlightenmentNext people in NYC with Andrew Cohen, their founder, and Dr. Don Beck, the world's expert on Spiral Dynamics. This, following a 5-day intensive certification program with Dr. Beck in Boston, at Andrew's center, there.

I've been checking these guys out for a while and every time I go deeper and come out even more excited about what they're doing...Read the entire post on the Coaching Blog.

Are You Stuck in the Green Meme?

I've been fascinated by Spiral Dynamics, lately. It's a theory of human development that helps to explain people's paradigms, both individually and culturally. (You can read a brief synopsis of it in Ken Wilber's A Theory of Everything, or the whole enchilada in Spiral Dynamics by Don Edward Beck and Christopher C. Cowan.)

This theory neatly explains why people think what they do and why there is so much disagreement about values in today's world - and it's weirdly color coded...Read the entire article at the Coaching Blog.
