Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Meditation has proven to be a way to reduce stress, promote relaxation and increase personal well being. Young people need stress reduction as much as adults. In this unique video, Rasha, an advanced meditation student, leads a group of her peers, ages 13-17, through a meditation and visualization workshop. Join the group as they learn to use techniques that enable teens to relax, deal with daily pressures, and most importantly, honor themselves. An informative, yet down to earth discussion follows the meditation. Brimming with the spectacular imagery of forests, rivers and skies and accompanied by captivating flute and drum music, 'Meditation for Teens' is an invaluable gift for teens to experience and share with their friends, siblings, parents and teachers. 'Meditation is just thinking about where you are. It's being at peace with yourself.' Dustin age 14 'Meditation is just some time out...that you take for yourself...It's for you.' Rasha age 17

Product Description

This video was inspired by the powerful response Debbie Cope experienced several years ago, when she passed along some of her own daily meditation techniques to her children and their friends. Debbie Cope/Producer with her husband Matt/Director, decided to create a practical and informative video on meditation with specifically young adults in mind. By using original music, stunning imagery and honest feedback from young people with some experience of meditation, they have created a valuable and useful educational video. Debbie Cope's goal was to make it an accessible and friendly video for young people: "I also wanted to introduce them to the huge benefits of meditation. This video shows the ways meditation can help teens deal with everyday stress and strains and to channel positive energy." The result is a compelling and informative 'video tool' that focuses on the exploration and introduction to meditation and its many benefits with narration from the teens themselves. Debbie Cope Producer Sacred Mesa Productions.

This review is from: Meditation for Teens [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I loved this tape! Great for stress management! This tape is a clearly guided meditation/relaxtion tape for people of all ages. Teens share their personal experiences of meditation--what they get out of it and why they keep doing it.Simply led by teen Rasha Reikel giving clear easy-to-follow directions with beautiful visualsof nature. You can watch the pictures or close your eyes and enter deeply into a restful healing experience of relaxation. Using flowers and crystals of different colors to deepen relaxation, you are then shown pictures of green meadows, deer, eagles, forest pools, the red rock formations of Sedona,AZ, and other scenes of Nature's beauty.Haunting American music accompanies the tape.R

This review is from: Meditation for Teens [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Last weekend my fourteen-year-old daughter Danielle and I had the pleasure of viewing Meditation for Teens, and found it to be a pleasurable and excellent introduction to the art of meditation. It is a strong tool to help encourage young people to channel their energy in a positive way. Meditation for Teens brings together a group of teens, lead by 17-year-old Rasha Reikel, who share their own experiences of working with guided imagery and meditation. They discuss some of the benefits they have personally experienced in working with the techniques on the video, such as, less stress, higher grades and enhanced communication skills.We both enjoyed the beautiful visuals and soothing Native American music by Guillermo Martinez and Tom Thompson. Danielle states, "I like the music, it is very relaxing. I think kids have alot more stress than they know and feel that by doing the meditation it will help relieve alot of this stress. They will probably feel better and not even know why. I enjoyed watching the video, but I also like to listen to it and make up my own visuals."Meditation for Teens is an invaluable gift for teens. It gives them great coping skills for dealing with the everyday challenges of being a teenager with all the responsibilities and expectations which are placed upon them (by themselves or others). I think many of the recent events in schools is a perfect example of how much stress our teens are really experiencing and how dangerous the breaking points can be. It is our job as parents to teach them how to honor themselves and others in a healthy and positive way.
