How To Use The MINDSOURCE
Stress Management System

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Even when you are not able to view a videocassette, 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 videocassette. You can overcome stress.
