Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] The tranquility that comes from moment-to-moment awareness is the theme from the author of the bestselling book, Wherever You Go, There You Are. In "Stress Reduction," he takes viewers to his Massachusetts Stress Reduction Clinic for demonstrations of sitting, prone, and standing meditation as well as testimonials from stressed-out patients who found some peace through his program. He also takes viewers on a hike through the woods, discusses Henry David Thoreau's Walden Pond, and quotes James Joyce. He gets a little more down-to-earth with a study the clinic conducted augmenting ultraviolet light therapy with meditation for psoriasis patients. Kabat-Zinn's manner is soothing, his attitude is one of gentle prodding, and the visuals are beautifully produced, making for a 51-minute chunk of serenity in a hectic world. -- Kimberly Heinrichs

Reviews:
A Solid Intro to Kabat-Zinn's work This is a good video to watch if you are interested in an overview and introduction to a stress clinic and the work of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Jon Kabat-Zinn. It is an educational tape but it is not an instructional video for meditation or stress management.I am the director of a stress clinic in Memphis, TN, that uses methods very similar to the ones shown in this tape. I use the tape as an educational tool to help persons begin to understand the basic orientation of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. The medical benefit of meditation and relaxation can be hard to sell to many patients. This tape helps patients understand the process we will be going through in stress reduction and does an excellent job of framing this work as being grounded deeply in medicine and science-- it isn't just some sort of airy-fairy new age "feel good" schlock.I would have given the video 5 stars but I thought the video production was not excellent-- it was good, but not excellent. The content, however, rates 5 stars. |
