Our attitude and thoughts transfer to our horses (employee, spouse etc.)more than we realize. > > How long have you had it? When (how soon) did you notice any differences? I got the Healing Rhythms program about a week ago, but I bought the 'Journey to the Wild Divine' probably 4 - 5 mos ago. It is more in a game format with biofeedback exercises along the way. You had to travel from one place to another to get to another exercise. This game was a little more time consuming and could get a bit frustrating trying to find the exercises you want to practice. I like the Healing Rhythms program much better. It uses a lot of the same exercises but give you more guidance on how to do them. I got The Secret DVD about the same time as I got the Journey to the Wild Divine. I started to notice differences in my attitude and have been able to replace anxiety with calmness in just a few sessions, maybe a week. It is a process tho and takes practice > > What exactly do you have to do? The exercises use your heart rate, its variability and the Skin Conductance level to determine your level of physical and mental stress. One exercise has you increase your energy level and when you do the balloons on the computer screen float higher. I have no problem with that one. Now the one where you are supposed to be relaxed drives me crazy. First time I did it the globe of light would not move at all. The second time I was able to get relaxed enough to get the globe to drop. When I tried it yesterday I could not get it to move. The harder I tried to relax the worse it was. When you try to relax, you have to let it happen without trying too hard. No wonder I never got the effects I was looking for when I tried to relax on horseback. I was not really relaxing. There are breathing exercises and a good part of it has its basis in meditation. The biofeedback part helps to let you know if you're doing it right. I really like it. Anna
