The Garden of NOW is a revolutionary new training tool designed to help you start tapping into the many benefits associated with practicing mindfulness meditation. The DVD includes a collection of several guided mindfulness meditation exercises, which are intended for a wide range of skill levels. For beginner-level viewers, the DVD provides an introduction to mindfulness meditation followed by basic mindfulness exercises. Beginning mindfulness exercises were specially constructed to help viewers form foundational mindfulness skills using familiar sensory experiences (i.e., seeing and hearing) during a guided tour of an intriguing Japanese garden. For those individuals hoping to deepen an existing mindfulness meditation practice, the DVD also includes enhanced audio/visual guidance for the traditional body scan and sitting meditation exercises.What is unique about this DVD?
Although it may appear overwhelmingly straightforward at first glance, mindfulness meditation can be difficult to grasp. The Garden of NOW was specially developed to address this problem through teaching viewers mindfulness skills in a gradual stepwise fashion. This DVD differs from other training tools in that it takes advantage of the rich audio/visual format of digital video. Both vocal and visual guidance is provided so that viewers are able to engage in an interactive training experience. Traditional mindfulness meditation exercises such as the body scan and sitting meditation are brought to a new level with the addition of on-screen assistance. Visual tracking technology enables viewers to more effectively practice and learn mindfulness techniques.

This yoga set is perfect for busy people who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach on Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect for the beginner and for the overworked. --Jenny Brown
