Meditation and BioFeedback

Is Meditation "Exercise" For Your Brain? According to Richard Davidson, a University of Wisconsin psychiatry professor who studies meditation’s impact on the brain, meditation is a form of "mental exercise." Davidson likens meditation's fast-growing popularity in this country to the physical exercise boom in the 1970s and 80s.  "Twenty years from now," Davidson asserts in a recent article in The Washington Post, "the way we now take for granted physical exercise, people will do mental exercises." In other words, meditation will become a routine part of our daily lives, the way yoga classes and gym visits are now. While meditation is rooted in traditional Buddhism, Davidson adds that meditation “will be done in a completely secular way." In fact, he elaborates, the Dalai Lama himself is "one of the strongest advocates for secularizing" meditation.

Guided Meditation Training Our products use proprietary technology that aids and helps you learn how to control breathing, to activate, and balance. This is normally a combination of advanced hardware and software. In our guided training system, the training modules give you information and feedback about whether you're progressing or not in a beautifully engaging format, right in your home or office.

Relaxation Techniques

Meditation, slow and easy abdominal breathing, and connecting with positive emotions are three methods for getting the desired pattern of both strength and balance. Our Relaxing Rhythms guided meditations lead you step by step, clearly showing your progress. Meditating is associated with balance and relaxation, and our products are perfect for learning to meditate (for meditation beginners), or for taking your meditation practice to a new level.

Biofeedback Information: Is Wild Divine Biofeedback?

Biofeedback machines are clinical medical instruments designed to assist professionals who cure, treat, or diagnose medical conditions. Biofeedback training should be conducted by a trained, licensed practicioner. Wild Divine products are different: they are active feedback with rich, graphical feedback integrated into the training programs (not bio feedback). Wild Divine products are for educational, entertainment, and leisure use. Wild Divine is not a medical device, and should not be used in place of professional medical care. We strongly urge you to discuss any and all alternative medical therapies with your doctor or health professional.
