The principles behind the effectiveness of MINDSOURCE are simple: wondrous natural beauty, magnificently photographed and accompanied by a scientifically based soundtrack. But to derive the maximum enjoyment and release of tension, follow these simple steps:

Avoid Distractions

Choose a time when you can be reasonably assured of 30 minutes without interruption. While you might be tempted to do other things while watching, don't. MINDSOURCE requires you to focus 100% of your attention if you are to reap its full benefits. If necessary, adjust the phone and advise others around you of your need to avoid being disturbed.

Get Comfortable

If possible, change into casual, comfortable clothing. At the minimum, loosen any restrictive clothing. Sit or lie down in a position that does not interfere with deep breathing.

Adjust the Sound

MINDSOURCE programs are recorded in Dolby Surround. If you do not have a surround sound system, headphones are recommended but not required.

Watch and Immerse Yourself

As you view the beautiful, exotic scenes of nature, imagine yourself being there. Use all of your senses: feel the breezes, imagine touching the ground beneath your bare feet, smell the many natural fragrances. Breathe deeply from the stomach and let the sights and sounds take you to a more relaxed and peaceful state of being.

Read the Text

Before or after viewing a DVD, read the related geographical text featured in this Web site. While this is optional, for many viewers it provides a deeper appreciation of the natural wonders featured, as these programs are not narrated.

Watch it Again

Each volume has been designed for repeat viewing, with new discoveries that await you each time you watch a DVD.

"Revisit" through Imagery

Even when you are not able to view a MINDSOURCE video, you can recall its soothing effect. Get comfortable and breathe deeply. Mentally get in touch with the areas in your body you want to relax. In your mind, walk through the landscape of a favorite MINDSOURCE DVD. You can overcome stress.
