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. Review: health care view - I work in the health care profession as a dentist. The latest discussion in our field is overall systemic health. I understand the importance of the mind body connection and improvements in systemic health such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and even smoking. This dvd has helped me learn mindfulness and recommend it to my patients. Review: Great for beginners wanting to learn meditation! - I'm brand new to meditation, so this was a great place to start. There's an intro which walks you through the different types, then you may choose from a couple breathing meditations for every day. These are all guided meditations. The guys voice is...not the greatest, I wouldn't use "relaxing" to describe it, but it's tolerable. He's good at walking you through the meditation and giving advice. I would not recommend this for anyone who has any type of meditation experience. This is a very green beginner level. Great for anyone trying to get into it though! I've greatly enjoyed it in helping me learn. I'll find a new video once I'm more comfortable on my own.

Loved the DVD so much, bought the CD
Some of these exercises are so effective, I can't get to end of section. Fall asleep (no, I'm not narcoleptic). Non irritating voice, with great cuing. Absolutely wonderful. Reminds me of my 1967 acting classes, where we'd work on centering...very similar. And just as effective.

Disappointing
The product description and the enthusiastic reviews filled me with high expectations. Unfortunately I am disappointed. As an introduction I watched a bonzai tree and a waterfall for a few minutes. Then during the body scan and the breathing meditation I watched a static outline of the human form, not much different to listening to a humble audio cd. I prefer the DVD "Meditation for Everyone" by Mike Harding. It's a more pleasant visual mindfulness meditation.

Worst Meditation DVD ever!
I have used several meditation DVD's that I have loved, after reading previous reviews I decided to give this DVD a chance. And I definitively wasted my money, as somebody else said, this should be in a dollar store. The exercise are extremely short (probably 3 to 5 minutes) and non sense. The voice in the DVD is not relaxing at all and is a stupid way of teaching mindfulness meditation. I can't believe others gave this DVD 5 stars. There is so much good stuff out there and this DVD totally disappointed me and my pocket. Don't waist you money in this DVD.

MINDFUL MEDITATION
This is a great video for beginners that want to learn meditation. Being able to see what you want you mind to see while meditating I think is very helpful to let the beginner know what to expect.
