5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for students of Buddhism and meditation., February 3, 2000

This review is from: Thich Nhat Hanh's Mindful Movements - Gentle Contemplative Exercises with the Monks & Nuns of Plum Village [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Thich Nhat Hanh is a master teacher and in Mindful Movements provides gentle, contemplative exercises specifically designed to cultivate a joyful awareness of the body and breath within the tradition of Zen Buddhism. These are the same "meditations in motion" that the monks and nuns of Plum Village Monastery use daily as a complement to their sitting meditation practice. Beautifully photographed in color throughout, Mindful Movements offers a practical way to bring mind and body into perfect oneness through ten "meditations in motion" restoring inner balance and refreshment, enhanced stretching, breathing, and mindfulness training, and a complete 20-minute exercise program led by the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Brother Michael. Mindful Movements is a superb addition to Buddhist studies and meditation resource collections.

This review is from: Thich Nhat Hanh's Mindful Movements - Gentle Contemplative Exercises with the Monks & Nuns of Plum Village [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this simple, yet elegant series of movements was designed to bring awareness to the breath and the movement of the body.

the video is divided into two segments: the first lead by a monk, brother michael. this part teaches the simple movements and coordination of the movements with the breath.

the second segment is the series lead by thich nhat hanh and the monks and nuns of the plum village community. what a gift to be able to practice with them!

i have used this video upon awakening in the morning as a gentle way to begin my day. i truly love it and look forward to every experience with it.

This review is from: Mindful Movements: Gentle Contemplative Exercises with Monks & Nuns of Plum Village (DVD)

This DVD is a great opportunity to practice with Hanh the monks and nuns of Plum Village. It is easy to follow and understand, a very simple and pleasant video.
I found myself very calm and relaxed (and a little tired!) after doing the excercises. It is a very interesting experience, and really gives tribute to Hanh's principle of engaged buddhism.
