Are you ready for Level One of Zen Journey?



We’re pleased to confirm that the first early release of Zen Journey is going live on Monday! This is momentous for the Wild Divine community. Many of us have been waiting for a way to begin or advance our Zen meditation practices. Zen Journey is Wild Divine’s response. If you want to join us, and be among the first to play Zen Journey , then click here to sign up for a Premium Account in Wild Divine Online!



Zen Master Nissim Amon and designer Corwin Bell have helped us execute our vision of bringing the Zen meditation philosophy to a modern technology platform. Here’s just one excerpt of Master Nissim’s perspective on living a healthy emotional life:



"If you carry guilt around, if you feel you are under constant criticism, then whenever you experience that “All is Well” feeling it will immediately be accompanied by fear. There cannot be “All is Wellness” in the near past as long as you carry a policeman inside your head. We need to accept that whatever we did then was the best we could do at that particular time, in that particular situation. In the near past, “All is Well” can be achieved only after we learn to constantly accept ourselves as we are with forgiveness."



Learning to release accumulated self-criticisms is just one of the many lessons Nissim Amon will have to share with us. And as you work your way through this first level of the Zen Journey program, new and progressive teachings will be revealed to us all on our Zen Journey !

Our friend Dr. Deepak Chopra calls stress the number one medical crisis of our times. It’s not just because a great deal of stress goes untreated, either; it’s because stress can be a mental and physical health problem. This fact just doubles the impact.
