Mindfulness & Meditation: Stress Reduction [VHS] (2000)

Amazon.com

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
