Main Story

The Power of Clarity

By Susan Marque

Susan Marque

Getting clear unhooks us from the obstacles we carry around.  Food is a tool.  Used well, it can assist the body to create beauty, health and vitality.  Many people can turn back the aging process, clear ailments, create amazing vitality and energy and even eliminate mood swings and emotional instability through proper food.  Now combine that with getting very clear about what is true for you, you can create results beyond your imagination with very minimal effort.

Mind-Body Matters

Transcendental Meditation Manages Symptoms Related To Coronary Heart Disease

Meditation May Improve Cardiac Risk Factors

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) patients underwent a sixteen week trial period of incorporating the practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) into their activities. For comparison, a second group of CHD patients in the study received health instruction. This study was conducted by Maura Paul-Labrador, M.P.H, and colleagues from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. They were specifically looking to see what effect TM would have on risk factors associated with coronary heart disease aside from lowering blood pressure (previous testing has shown that TM practice lowers blood pressure).

The Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage and Wisdom Quest
receive "A"'s

Read what others have to say about The Wild Divine programs!

"Wisdom Quest is the second title in the Journey to Wild Divine trilogy of games, billed as promoting “meditation training for the mind and body”. I reviewed the first game in the series, The Passage, a while ago, and was very impressed with the use of biofeedback to solve quests and progress in the game. The Passage taught breathing and meditation techniques through its many quests, which I found to perceptibly help reduce stress and achieve a more relaxed state of mind. So it was with great anticipation that I started playing the next title in the trilogy."

"I’m Chris Wade, official product tester for Sounds True, here to tell you about Wisdom Quest, the software "sequel" to last year’s highly successful The Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage. Many of you experienced this sophisticated biofeedback meditation tool, cleverly disguised as a “computer game.” And you may be wondering, is the new game worth it? Does it improve on the original?"

Meditation Tip
Dean Ornish, MD Dean Ornish, MD

Over time, years of meditation gave me glimpses of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all life. I experienced that on one level we are alone, separate, apart from everyone and everything; on another level, we are the Self in different disguises, different names and forms, a part of everyone and everything. Many religions proclaim as a fundamental truth, “the Lord is One.”

This experience of interconnectedness is part of spiritual traditions and the perennial wisdom in virtually all religions and cultures. Albert Einstein wrote,

Letter from Deepak Chopra
Anna Coy Deepak Chopra, MD

Dear Friends,

Despite what you may have been conditioned to believe, sexual desire is sacred and virtuous. It is the suppression of sexual energy that is artificial, unnatural, and contrived. When you and your beloved merge physically and emotionally, you go beyond the boundaries of the ego. In this state of union, you experience timelessness, naturalness, playfulness, and defenselessness. These are qualities of spirit when it is not constrained by control, fear, or separation.

Opening the Wisdom Book
Invigorate

Try this: Think about a problem or issue that you’ve been trying to figure out. Maybe it has to do with a relationship, a career decision, or maybe even as simple as a household improvement that you can’t quite wrap your brain around. Visualize the issue or challenge as a locked book that contains its story and its solution. Imagine holding it in your hands, feeling its weight. What does it look like? What are its defining characteristics? What do you know about it? What do you not know? Rather than wrestle with the same old useless excuses or reasons why you can’t “unlock” the situation, look at it in a while new way. Use your focused energy as the “key” to opening and better understanding the issue. Let your intuition guide you. Meditate over the issue, without trying to analyze or pick it apart. Hear the key clicking into the lock and revealing the solution – what do you see? Is it a word? An image? Meditating on your problems in this way, without pressure, can help unearth the solution from deep in your unconscious. Allow it to reveal itself to you.
