MindSource Overview
The MINDSOURCE Stress Management System was designed for reducing the stress levels in the viewer. MINDSOURCE was clinically tested at The University of Louisville in Kentucky and proven to significantly reduce stress.
For hundreds of years we have known of nature's ability to calm and relax us. Ancient civilizations both East and West, made this principle an important part of their cultures. Today, hospitals, medical centers and, more recently, hotel chains are rediscovering the important therapeutic value of natural surroundings.
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, people have little opportunity to get away, relax and enjoy the peace, serenity and beauty of nature untouched by man. The calming effect of nature has been known for centuries. By experiencing the beauty of natural wonders, we can lose ourselves and our tension in the tranquility of the environment. It is this soothing power we set out to capture in MINDSOURCE.
We chose as our focus North America and its rich scenic wonders, ranging from the quiet serenity of the desert, the lushness of a tropical island, the soft, cool winds of a New England forest and more. Each site has been carefully selected to provide the richest possible viewing experience. Each program is digitally mastered for the highest possible picture quality.
But MINDSOURCE is more than a visual delight; it is an experience in soothing sound as well. Scientific research has shown that certain ranges of tones and rhythms have a calming effect on the body. These sounds have actually been proven clinically to slow the pulse and reduce blood pressure. The digital sound track on MINDSOURCE is based on this research and mixes natural sounds, original music and subsonic tones (no narration). Recorded in Dolby Surround, these unique compositions reinforce the calming effect of the wondrous natural sites.
The sound and video are carefully integrated to provide a seamless and profound sensory experience. Each volume is thirty minutes, judged to be the optimum duration for best results. MINDSOURCE is photographed, scored and edited to promote repeat viewing, with new discoveries possible each time you watch a selection.
You won't believe how easy it is to relax with MINDSOURCE. Simply get yourself in a comfortable position in a place where you can avoid distractions. As you play a MINDSOURCE DVD, you'll see and hear what it takes to transport you to a place of contentment and tranquility. You may feel the tense areas of your body actually begin to loosen up. The result is a relaxing, enjoyable, and unique video experience that has been acclaimed in various circles.
Each MINDSOURCE program won a gold award (top prize) at WORLDFEST-Houston International Film Festival (the world's largest). Most of all, MINDSOURCE has won the praise of those who have discovered its ability to transport them to some of the most beautiful sites on earth and achieve a state of peacefulness and serenity that only the wonder of nature can provide.
MINDSOURCE is treasured for its ability to soothe, calm and relax. But it also serves another important role as a remarkable visual record of fragile natural ecosystems. The settings for MINDSOURCE are exquisite natural environments untouched by man. Each DVD enables you to "visit" these wonders of nature without having to travel there physically. To further your enjoyment and understanding of these magnificent locations, historical and geographical descriptions are featured in this Web site under MINDSOURCE Stress Management Programs. While it is not required that you read this text in order to enjoy the serenity of MINDSOURCE, it can lead to a deeper appreciation of the true wonder of the sights and sounds you experience (as the programs are not narrated).
We hope you enjoy the MINDSOURCE experience!
