5.0 out of 5 stars Must have Mindfulness Training DVD!, September 4, 2009

This review is from: Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Reduction for Beginners: The Garden of NOW (DVD)

This is probably one of the best mindfulness training DVDs out there. The exercises are easy to follow and having the video guidance in addition to the audio track proves to be invaluable. Not only are the garden's waterfalls and bonsai arrangements stunning, but using them to illustrate mindfulness concepts make it super easy for beginners. For those that have more mindfulness meditation experience, the DVD also includes the traditional body scan and sitting meditation exercises, which comes with a nifty on-screen tracking tool to assist you in maintaining focus. Overall, this DVD is a must have for anyone looking to start or enhance a mindfulness meditation practice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a meditation DVD I can use!! --EXCELLENT!, September 15, 2009

This review is from: Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Reduction for Beginners: The Garden of NOW (DVD)

The Garden of Now truly simplifies the complexities of mindfulness and meditation. I am an author and lecturer on stress management and this DVD is an ideal fit for my students and readers. The soothing narration and visual effects allowed me to understand what parts of my body were most tense as I truly experienced the present moment. As I followed the guided steps of the exercises I was able to embrace the relaxing effects and better understand what it means to be in the now with my body and mind. Additionally, the guided steps of the various levels of mindfulness and the detailed body scan simultaneously unified my mind and body. I was also able to have a more restful sleep followed by a more productive day!

I have seen other videos on meditation and relaxation, but none of them were as effective as The Garden of Now. I had been looking for a DVD to use with college students and adults --finally, a resourceful tool I can use!! The narrator peacefully makes it easy for anyone to follow regardless of their meditation skill level or age. Thank you, I will use this frequently and often!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful tool for STRESS REDUCTION!!, October 5, 2009

This review is from: Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Reduction for Beginners: The Garden of NOW (DVD)

Working with this mindfulness dvd has been a LIFE CHANGING experience and I would recommend it anyone! I'm a busy professional who lives the typical stress-stress-stress lifestyle. I knew it was time for a change, so I decided to buy the garden of now dvd to see what mindfulness meditation was all about. I was a skeptic at first, but to my surprise, learning mindfulness has made it a lot easier for me to stay centered in the stillness of the present moment when things get hectic and chaotic in life. I have tried other stress reduction products in the past, but this dvd really does make it MUCH easier to learn a powerful stress management tool!
