Product Description

These days everyone knows that meditation can dramatically improve your mental and physical well-being. It relaxes and sharpens your mind, refreshes your body and invigorates your spirit.

But how do you start? What do you do? Meditation Tools makes it easy. Watching this program is the next best thing to resting by a babbling brook or a solitary walk on the beach. This program features spectacular nature photography, beautiful original music, natural sounds, and thoughtful aphorisms from sources as diverse as Buddha to Vincent Van Gogh.

Just sit back, breathe easily - and let the near-magical combination of sights and sounds take you to a calm and peaceful place.

If you've never meditated before, this is a great way to start. You don't have to know, or do, anything special. If you're an experienced "meditator," it can enhance your established practice. Either way, Meditation Toolkit is a terrific way to add the joy of meditation to your busy life.

Soothing nature scenes, New Age music, and quotations from Buddha and Keats are the "tools" provided in this 172-minute DVD "kit." Each of the three sections (forest, sky, and water) can be chosen individually from the menu, but they also run continuously, allowing the viewer to meditate as long as he or she wishes. Although there are no instructions, each section does begin with a thought or an idea. For instance, the sky section begins with the admonition to pay attention to the now. Several more quotes from eastern and western sources as varied as Shakespeare and Gandhi are sprinkled throughout each section, briefly interrupting the visual journeys through woodlands, waterfalls, and clouds. The scenes often have the dappled beauty of a Monet painting, which, combined with the restful music, should put even the most uptight person in a relaxed mode. --Kimberly Heinrichs
