Product Review: Problems with hardware and software
Summary: 3 Stars
The voices in the program kept on cutting in and out and it made it difficult to understand the instructions being given. This also made it a bit stressful, which seemed counterproductive to what was otherwise a very boring, overly "new-agey" experience. I was using the Windows version of the software. I also got the Grapher Expander Pack, which when used indicated that the finger sensor for the pulse/heart was working only intermittently, and I couldn't get it to work consistently unless I held it on my finger with my free hand. There was no way of knowing that this was a problem just from "The Passage" program. Very disappointing -- I returned the products.

Summary: 5 Stars
I have had so much fun learning Bio feedback and learnig to breath. The exercises and the story line are really helpful to achive control and develope skills for meditation. I highly recommned this product. I will be purchasing the add-on in the near future.Product Review: Great introduction to mind/body control
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical of this program at first, but had a chance to demo it for several days at a conference. It's compelling and fun to use. It's also accurate-- at one point I was focusing on relaxing and allowing some balloons to float slowly across the bottom of the screen. Someone came up behind me and startled me and the balloons jumped up to the top of the screen in time with my reaction. My only complaint is that parts of it are a little slow and talky. It's well worth the expense if you're interested in developing your mind/body communication, although probably not as valuable for someone who is already well into that.Product Review: Relatively Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: The game is in general fun as you train your bioelectric energy. It's not necessarily what you think about but how you control your energy flow that influences the game. The finger sensors are comfortable enough. I also liked the fact that to do well you had to both work on increasing and decreasing the amount of energy flow. It's not overly difficult and provides for an entertaining and relaxing game.
Cons: Slow load times between scenes, a bit too much backtracking, and my original dvd rom wouldn't read the discs.
Product Review: Never Been So Calm
Summary: 5 Stars
Just to warn you, if you have never meditated before with a biofeedback machine you are in for a surprise. My first few times meditating(before I purchased this game) were great...but then, it became harder and harder to achieve the original calm after that, not only that, it took longer and longer to achieve even the slightest amount of relaxation.
Then out of desperation, because my anxiety and self-consciousness were once again running and ruining my life, I bought this game. Now I am always relaxed and I can reach calm in minutes and stay focused for hours throughtout the day. It is amazing how the biofeedback, music and interest in trying to play the game can be so effective...again you will be amazed.
However, I did struggle the first few times trying to get into a groove, but once you hit that groove it stays around and is easy to obtain. I would say that it probably took me about 2 hours to hit my first state of calmness. That sounds like a long time and it is, but the game and the biofeedback make the time pass.
The second time playing I was already calm and moved through the game rather quickly. The third time and beyond I am able to succeed at the challenges pretty quickly compared to the first time. I am always calm now..which is a wierd experience for me..and always feel focused. Even little babies and animals come up to me now...just kidding.
For type A personalities I would just read the comments and lower your expectations for how fast you should succeed at this game. You will definitely need patience, but once you are calm..the pace of the game is just perfect. The frustration and patience will be worth it. Meditation is so such a simple process that it leaves with the impression that it can be obtained instantly...o' contrare, meditation requires mucho patience...and if you read this far in my comment you probably have the patience to succeed,and again, it is worth it.
