It really is a great intro to meditation. The instructor, Maritza, takes you through a short yoga routine and progressive relaxation. I've tried several other DVD's (Rodney Yee and others) and this is by far one of the better places to start. The only thing that I didn't like about it is that when Maritza is meditating, her head bobbles like a bobble head and it's distracting (doesn't look very peaceful).

I have been a student of Maritza's and I can tell you that she is the real deal! An excellent teacher and she does in fact "practice what she preaches". You will not be dissapointed!

This DVD is a wonderful introduction to meditation and has been very helpful to me in my yoga and in general stress reduction.

Highly recommended and can be done by anyone.

During the stress of my divorce, I developed severe anxiety / panic disorder. I had read of the health benefits of meditation, but I never wanted to try it. (My mother was a religious freak who practiced meditation while I was growing up, so I wrongly associated meditation with religion.) Despite counseling, my anxiety grew worse, so I decided to buy this DVD. I'm so thankful that I did! This DVD changed my life. I am incredibly hi-strung, and I work in the hi-tech industry with a very stressful job. In addition, I have three very young kids ages 2 months to 5 years old, and I found it impossible to turn off the constant, mostly negative, thoughts in my head. When you have panic disorder, you lose trust in your body. You feel as if you have no control. This DVD helped me to regain trust in my body and in myself. It helped me to slow down my mind, to appreciate my body and mind, and to find joy in living again, starting with a simple breath. Buy this DVD! You will not regret it! It is one of the best out there. Even if you don't have severe anxiety, this DVD will help you feel calm, peaceful, and rejuvenated.

This is a great dvd for meditation. The dvd is organized well and you can get right to the part you want easily. Her voice is pleasant and calming. I have several meditation dvd's and I think this is one of the best
