Customer Reviews of The Journey to Wild Divine Bundle Pack: The Passage and Wisdom Quest
Customer Review: Very Interesting Device & Software
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this the other day and have spent a few evenings exploring it. It is a very interesting thing and learning the biofeedback techniques is pretty amazing. Basically the software presents a series of vignettes and "tasks" that you explore with biofeedback. Some are easier to control than others and I think I need to revisit the easy ones to learn how to accomplish the harder ones. The images are really nice and I find I also really like the music and nature sounds that play while you explore or do the tasks. It is a peaceful virtual world.
I do think that some of the tasks are harder (at least for me) if you watch the screen while trying to do them. There is a door with a meditating figure on it in one task and I can't get it to open except by petting my dog. Others are easier -- There are juggling balls that you can send up off the top of the screen and another where ballons float by and you try to keep them from going too high or low and bursting. But it is amazing to watch how changing your thoughts and relaxing will affect the things on the screen.
I do believe this wouldn't be for everyone. I got it for my girlfriend who is currently stressed at work but she wasn't interested. I've been the one using it. It's not really a computer game though their own literature refers to it like that. Some of it is a little cheesy - like the gal in the odd outfit who introduces you to the program and how to do things. But for me, it is the tasks that are the star. Learning how to control your body, breathing, and relaxation is pretty cool. I don't really know what that is ultimately good for but it is interesting. Just being more relaxed and aware maybe.
The system has a USB "stone" that houses the electronics and has a cable toat ends in three spring-tensioned finger sensors. Two are electric (just a contact) and are used to sense skin resistivity changes. The third is an optical (probably infrared) pulse monitor. On the sensor test screen in the software you see real-time readouts of your skin resistivity (no units) and a graph of your heart beats that really looks a lot like an EKG trace. It's the same kind of sensor that is used in the little heart rate monitors that clip on your fingers. Still, it is very cool and nicely done. The hardware is not cheap. It's well built and looks like it will last as long as nobody really abuses it. Somebody put a lot of thought, effort, and engineering into this and it shows. The imagry and animations of movement through the gardens are top notch too. Excellent graphics. Better than a lot of computer games I've seen.
I would recommend this to anyone interested in these sorts of inner journeys and learning how to relax more. It is aimed at the new-age types (which I am not) but it still is a very cool little device and software package. There is also an audio CD included of the soundtrack to the program. A bit new-age but good. Nice background music.
Installation was also a breeze. It took a while (2 CDs, maybe 15 minutes or so) but no problems at all. I am running it on a Mac though.
All in all, I would say well worth the money. No problem at all giving it 5 stars and I think I'll be using it a lot.
