Movie Reviews of Meditation for Beginners
Movie Review: Every home should have one :-)
Summary: 5 Stars
I will rate this with 5 stars.. After walking out of work one day because I just couldnt take any more of the office politics, and my partner being pushed to his limits by my always negative attitude I realised that it was time to do something about my stress levels.I did a bit of a search here and found this DVD - it was brilliant,even after the first run through I found it did so much for me. All of a sudden I was starting to see a little bit of light through the thick mud. A friend of mine had recommended meditation and the scientific magazine that I read had noted that meditation does the equivalent for the brain as going to the gym does for your body - it keeps it fit, but I didnt think it would be this good!
So total thumbs up to the creators and now, after purchasing the Gaiam AM/PM meditations DVD a week or so ago as well and the AM/PM Yoga Meditations CD.. I am set. My days are much nicer and I look forward to them more. Thanks Gaiam for helping me find that happy life again.
Movie Review: Great body scan
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever done a body scan in a yoga class? In this gentle meditation, you become aware of how you are feeling, part by part. You might spend minutes becoming aware of the tops of your feet, whether warm, cool, tense or relaxed. As you go over your entire body from toe to head, it's hard not to gain a sense of peace and gratitude for living.
Maintaining concentration throughout the exercise is another matter. It's really helpful to have someone guide you through it, periodically calling your attention perhaps back from the brink of sleep to move on to another part of your body. Maritza's body scan is excellent---to me the DVD is worth the price just for that. Her voice is gentle and unintrusive; and her questions insightful. The beach-side setting is appropriately tranquil. The yoga and seated meditation are nice, too. The DVD costs the same as a single yoga class. I've already played it several times and look forward to using it for years to come. An excellent value.
Movie Review: Stressed Out--This Really Helps!
Summary: 5 Stars
Lately I've been stressed to the max with work, the economy, you name it, I'm stressed about it. The great reviews here sealed the deal--I ordered it. Never having practiced meditation before, I liked that people said good things about the short yoga portion and the body awareness exercise.
Holy cow, this DVD was amazing. I liked that the yoga portion was short, and the stretches weren't impossible to do. The body awareness was very calming and relaxing, which prepares you for the third and final portion, the actual meditation practice (the guide, a French-born Yoga and Meditation instructor with a rockin' body has a very calming and relaxing voice, instructing "when your mind wanders, gently pull it back") is super.
I now do this DVD 3-4 times a week and it gets better each time. It has relieved my stress, helped me sleep better, and not be so short with my husband. Well worth it! Highly, highly recommended.
Movie Review: Wonderful! Not just for Beginners. Includes Yoga segment.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful practice! The Yoga practice is fairly short, but I love it for a morning practice. She holds the poses longer than Rodney's Yea's AM Yoga and the scenery and music are lovely. I finish it off with my own short meditation with the DVD player off. It's about a 30-minute practice (with my meditation). My spine feels so alive and I feel so centered and ready to start my day.
You can wrap into the practice (or any other yoga practice) the body scan and then the seated meditation. They are both wonderful. I meditate everyday and I still love this meditation practice. Good for beginners too. Not too much talk, but just enough to get you going. Maritza voice is very soothing.
This is a must have DVD! Check my other reviews for other good ones! Thank You!
Movie Review: Very good program
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this dvd, and another meditation dvd from Yoga Zone. This dvd is superior in every aspect. The instructor, Maritza has a strong accent, but you will find that her instructions are very clear, very focused, and very helpful. The dvd is divided into three parts. The first part is a gentle easy yoga stretch session; the second session is a body scan-meditation segment; and the third is a seated meditation segment. The photography (all done in Hawaii) is gorgeous and very well done. In addition, the dvd has a menu which allows you to pick the different segments you want to try, an introduction, a "personal trainer" option which allows you to switch to a separate segment showing you how to do a particular movement, and an interview.
