Save 10% on Healing Star jewelry from
Wisdom Quest!
If you’ve started on your Wisdom Quest,
you’ve seen the Healing Star worn by the Butterfly Maiden.
In fact, much of Wisdom Quest is about gathering the
stones from the Healing Star in order to re-ignite hope. Now
you can wear the Healing Star wherever you go with this stunning
pendant created by noted artist Fredda Psaltis.
Each Healing Star is cast in pewter and then coated
with a heavy 24-carat gold plate or sterling silver. The Star
is much more than just a stunning piece of jewelry from Wisdom
Quest; to quote the artist, “The essence and the
intent of the piece is to bring people together, to show the
interlocking of faith. The Star features a peace symbol in the
middle that is interlocked and surrounded by interfaith symbols.
It’s a symbol of unity, a symbol of hope.” Click
on the link below for more information about this beautiful,
powerful item.

Main Story |
Deepak Chopra on His Role in Wisdom
Quest
So what have you been up to lately?
I’ve been writing. I’m writing three books at this
time: one on leadership, one on the survival of consciousness
after death, and one on the Cosmic Christ. I’m also the
president of the Alliance for New Humanity, which is creating
peace cells all over the world, and I’ve been giving workshops.
How did you become involved with the Wild Divine Project?
I was always interested in biofeedback. The Wild Divine Project
is doing amazing things; they’re providing a really accessible
way to regulate your physiology and biology. It’s more
than biofeedback, it’s bioregulation.
What makes The Wild Divine Project so relevant to your
community?
I've taught yoga for years and years, and I think it accelerates
the whole
experience of connecting with a different level of consciousness.
When
people can learn to influence what's happening in their body
in a few hours, why waste a whole week?

An Overview on Mind-Body Medicine from
the NCCAM
Welcome to a new component of the Wild Divine Newsletter. Each
month, we’ll point you towards news, information and resources
to educate you about the importance of mind-body connectedness
and the role it plays in a happy mind and and a healthy body.
If you’ve experienced The Passage or Wisdom
Quest, you already know that learning to manage your physiology
is a major step toward reducing your stress and improving your
quality of life. Now, we'd also like to share with you the increasing
body of work that underscores this principle and showcases these
new paths in medicine and treatment. Follow the link below for
an extensive report on mind-body medicine from the National
Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, one of eight
sections within the National Institute of Health.
Introduction
Mind-body medicine focuses on the interactions among the brain,
mind, body, and behavior, and the powerful ways in which emotional,
mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly
affect health. It regards as fundamental an approach that respects
and enhances each person's capacity for self-knowledge and self-care,
and it emphasizes techniques that are grounded in this approach.
Definition of Scope of Field
Mind-body medicine typically focuses on intervention strategies
that are thought to promote health, such as relaxation, hypnosis, visual
imagery, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, tai chi, qi gong, cognitive-behavioral
therapies, group support, autogenic training, and spirituality.
The field views illness as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation,
and health care providers as catalysts and guides in this process.

| Meditation Tip
|
 |
DeanOrnish, MD |
Meditation is simple
in concept but difficult to master. Fortunately, you don’t
have to master meditation to benefit from it. You just have
to practice. No one ever really masters it completely, but even
a few steps down that road can make a meaningful difference.
It is the process of meditation that makes it so beneficial,
not how well you perform.
Everyone has a hard time focusing, especially
at first. Everybody! You are in good company. There is a reason why some people spend time
in solitude trying to master meditation--because learning to control and
train your own thoughts is difficult.

| Breathing
Tip |
 |
Anna Coy |
Breath is the
Gift of Life. The practice of breathing is the gateway to awareness
and freedom! Following your breath is the number one way to
reconnect to your life force and recharge and re-enliven your
whole being.
On commercial airplanes, the emergency instructions
include "In the event of an emergency your oxygen mask
will drop; and "put your mask on first before you try to
put on your child's mask." Did you ever wonder why?

Training Tip:
The Passage |
|
Try this: At the beginning
of your day, take a few moments to observe your energy and appreciate
stillness. This can be five minutes at your desk, outside, or
getting coffee. Leaning to maintain your energy can help reduce
the extreme ups and downs which wear us out, and take a real
toll on us by day’s end. Imagine your energy is that rock
– steady but light, moving on its given course. Think
about letting go, rather than wrestling your worries to the
ground. Try the same thing at the end of your day. How close
it is to how you were this morning? Or do you feel totally undone
by afternoon? By becoming aware of where your energy goes and
how it moves, you can put this exercise into practice, and achieve
consistency. |
| Letter from Deepak Chopra |
 |
Deepak Chopra, MD |
The human mind,
inherently impatient, activates emotional reactions when our
ideas about how things should be collide with how things are.
We sometimes torment ourselves over things we've said and done
that we wished were different. Each of us carries in our heads
a script of our lives with the expectations of what should occur
next, how someone should react, what someone else should say,
and how the next moment should unfold.
