Wishing You A Healthy
Life, A Happy Mind and a Hearty Holiday
Welcome to a time of giving, sharing and cramming
of a lot of activity into a short but rewarding holiday season.
As you double-check your shopping list while simultaneously
looking back on what was hopefully a rewarding year, the Wild
Divine is here to provide you with the health and wellness that
comes from mind-body connectedness. Hopefully the information
in this month’s newsletter—along with the rewards
of experiencing part or all of The Journey—will
leave you well-prepared for this busy month.
This month, we are excited to feature an article
from Ingrid Bacci, Ph.D. Ingrid is a respected author and counselor,
and she offers sage advice below about the connection between
achieving and receiving. In a month when we want to accomplish
a lot while opening ourselves up to friends and loved ones,
Ingrid’s article should put you in the right frame of
mind for an optimal holiday. In the Mind-Body Matters section, we’ve included an exciting report from Wild Divine
CEO Kurt Smith about an important event, the Mind-Life Conference,
that he attended last month in Washington, DC. To encourage
you to give the gift of wellness this holiday to yourselves
and others, we’re extending a special offer of free expedited
shipping to guarantee that your Wild Divine presents arrive
on time; see the Exclusive Offers section to
the left to learn how to take advantage of this limited offer.
You’ll also find another meditation tip from Dr.
Dean Ornish and a new breathing tip from Anna
Coy; both Dean and Anna serve as guides within Wisdom
Quest, and through the end of the year you can also save
$15 on Anna’s Whole Body Breathing Series (see the “Shopping” section below). As always, we’ve also provided training
tips to help you apply The Passage to your daily life,
along with this month’s letter from Deepak Chopra. Check
out the Things We Love section to the left
to find out about a special offer from our friends over at the
Spiritual Cinema Circle.
As always, we appreciate your support and hope
everyone has a joyful, stress-free holiday, with best wishes
for a healthy and happy 2006.

Story |
Your Power
to Achieve is Your Power to Receive
Ours is a doing society. We want to do. We want
to achieve. After all, achieving gives us a sense of worth,
of fulfillment. But unfortunately, sometimes the way we strive
to achieve actually distances us from what we want, forcing
us to struggle toward our goals in a manner that can be exhausting
and debilitating. Unconsciously, we sometimes put the brakes
on and sabotage ourselves at the very same time that we race
towards our goal. Why is this? And how can we change the situation?
Let’s tackle the first question first. Why
and how do we sometimes sabotage ourselves in the process of
trying to achieve our goals? We sabotage or undermine ourselves
when we are driven by a feeling of lack.

A Report From
the Mind-Life Conference in Washington, D.C.
 I recently had the distinct honor, along with
Corwin Bell, the co-founder of The Wild Divine Project, of attending
the Mind & Life Conference held at the
Daughters of the American Revolution Hall just steps away from
the White House. What a precipitous venue for this important
conference for humans everywhere. The Mind and Life Conference
was initiated twenty years ago by a group of scientists with
a sense of spirituality and a group of Buddhists with a sense
of science. Importantly, this initial group included perhaps
the greatest spiritual leader of our time, the XIV Dalai Lama.
Why would the Dalai Lama be interested in conferencing with
a group of scientists, or for that matter why in the world would
a scientist of any merit want to conference with the Dalai Lama?
Attending the Mind and Life conference made it clear that there
are many enthusiastic researchers that accept the importance
of science and spirituality as a hand-in-hand partnership as
we strive to find meaning in our lives and for the human race.

Deva
Premal's Love is Space Features Six Sacred Mantras
to Enhance Your Life
The music of Deva Premal runs throughout
Wisdom Quest. Love Is Space, Deva
Premal's second solo album, contains six sacred mantras,including
Gatè Gatè, the heart sutra of Buddha, and Om Mani
Padme Hum, the ancient Tibetan invocation. Also included is
the exquisitely performed West African chant, Idè Werê Werê. The sound texture is rich and expansive, with Deva's
beautiful voice calling us all on to higher ground, and into
the sanctuary of our own hearts. |

| Meditation Tip |
 |
DeanOrnish, MD |
In most forms of meditation,
you repeat a sound, or a phrase, or a verse from a prayer. Over
and over and over again. You can focus on a sacred object such
as rosary beads or a picture or icon. You can focus on a favorite
prayer. It can be secular; for example, you can simply observe
your breathing. In and out. Over and over.
Certain sounds have been found to be very soothing,
and they are very similar in different cultures.

A true gift is something
that lives on in your heart as a piece of you. What is the one
gift you will give yourself this holiday? How much of your time
are you willing to put in to receiving that gift? Toast to this
passing year and appreciate your growth and gifts!

Tip:
The Passage |
|
|
Yoga Passage
Try this: When you find yourself on the other side of a closed
door, whether it’s a particularly difficult coworker,
a cranky spouse, or a situation you simply can’t seem
to crack, try backing off completely. Release the tension and
stress that’s building up inside of you. Allow the heat
of your frustration to cool and slowly detach while you focus
on your breath. Watch how, when you make the decision to enter
into the greatest challenges with a clear mind and a calm heart,
one after another, doors begin to open themselves to you. |
Letter
from Deepak Chopra |
 |
Deepak Chopra, MD |
The flow of life
is nothing other than the harmonious interaction of all the
elements and forces that structure the field of existence. This
harmonious interaction of elements and forces in your life operates
as the Law of Giving. Because your body and your mind and the
universe are in constant and dynamic exchange, stopping the
circulation of energy is like stopping the flow of blood. Whenever
blood stops flowing it begins to clot, to coagulate, to stagnate.
That is why you must give and receive in order to keep wealth
and affluence—or anything you want in your life—circulating
in your life.
