"life-enhancing experiences"
The fear of the unknown and the sense of separation are removed in most cases of people who have had NDEs, replaced by a great sense of purpose; these are some of the benefits discussed in this documentary about the experience. There are five people (2 men, 3 women) who share their stories, and also a philosopher, a parapsychologist, and a theologian who weigh in on the subject. Stepping out of space and time
I have a friend who had a near death experience. She talked about how hard it was to make the decision to come back. With my friend in mind, I wanted to hear first hand accounts of near death experiences of others. On this video, both men and women describe the experience in detail. They also talk about the affect it has had on their lives. One man resigned from his job to do something he felt would do more good. I felt as if I was sitting in a living room with each of these people. I also enjoyed the commentary of the two experts who comment on the experience.

In Gratitude
As a three time near-death experiencer, I am immensely grateful to this powerful no-frills video for the validation and support (quite unavailable to me in both 1957 and 1975 when I made my first two excursions into the hereafter) that it gives me everytime I watch it. I own three copies: one for each experience I guess! It is the absence of distracting, inane narration, glitzy special effects and mad scrambles for empty, perceptually-biased, evidential back-up that marks this Round Trip video as a winner in my heart, for it honors the untutored stories of real people and, without apology, offers their direct, sincere testimony as the valuable, substantial gift it is to all who can hear and receive it. Also, as a mother who not only returned from the brink of death herself but as one who repeatedly accompanied her only son to that same brink and back until he made a final crossing at age 16, I must add that this straightforward documentary soothes my weary, sorrowed soul in a way that no theoretical platitudes or clinical hypotheses could ever approach. My wounded heart is not healed by the conjecture of so-called "professional experts" and "technique-educated observers". Whenever I forget what my own experiences have instilled as direct knowing in me and my grief threatens to immobilize me again in the dark pit of despair, I reach for the tissues, turn on my VCR and watch Round Trip all over again. Then, as I listen through my grateful tears to these wonderful, regular folks who tell their stories without guile, I remember thatLove is the eternal flame of me,I reunite with the spirit of the child I thought I lost, and sink back into the welcoming comfort of a truth whose arms reach out to me only in the timeless stories of other survivors and thrivers...my experience-sharing peers. Each time I listen, the Light that shines behind the words shared never fails to lift away another layer of grief and forgetfulness. If a trudge through the cold, detaching isolation of science and empty rhetoric is what you seek, then stay away from Round Trip by all means. But if it is a comforting journey into the human spirit's unbreakable connectedness that you seek, then run with a copy to your VCR now. May endless Blessings grace eternally all who freely contributed to this most beautiful video. ... Read more

Thought provoking and insightful
It was wonderful to watch Krishnamurti on video for the first time, it's much better to actually see and hear him speak rather than just reading the dry lines in a book. Insightful discussion on the nature of the mind
K, Dr Bohm and Dr. Shainberg investigate the nature of thought, which unfolds itself though the discussion. Dr.Bohm is instrumental in bringing out the meaning in K's insightful statements. The discussion flows throughthe inquiry of thought into the possibility of a completely transformedmind, and hence humanity. A treat for anyone interested in finding out whatthis whole mess around and within us is about. Not for someone who wants ananswer, but for someone who is deeply interested in the inquiry, or thenature of it. ... Read more

FASCINATING!LEAVES ONE MISSING THE BANISHED GODDESS.
Here is Dr. Gimbutas talking to a small group of students and the professor in an informal, intimate setting.The format is standard:first an exposition of the topic of the Old World goddess cultures, and second a question and answer period, not overtaxing as only several pertinent questions are asked, and the answers are just as pertinent and interesting.Read more

The brilliantly beautiful Feminine Divine -- but S/B a duet on DVD
I have owned this Goddess video trilogy, "Goddess Remembered," "The Burning Times," and "Full Circle," since about 1995 when it was first produced by the National Film Board of Canada. I have especially rewatched "Goddess Remembered" and "The Burning Times" many, many times.
shown on PBS
I think that this video set is priceless. It is full of stories that I believe to be true, but I was not taught about in school.

Amazing experience
Our public tv station shows this series once or twice a year and every since the first time I saw it, I was completely awe struck.The beautiful visuals and music strike such deep emotional chords within me that I find myself reminded of all of the things that I take for granted.I am a Pagan woman but I find that one need not be Pagan or female in order to understand and fall in love with this series.I would recommend watching this alone for the first time, without distraction, so that you can fully enjoy, absorb, and digest these beautiful series on Goddess Spirituality. ...

Like it or not there's more than just K on this tape
I have patiently waited for this tape for about 2 months. When I finally received it, I was very excited. So there I started the tape, it was wonderful to hear Krishnamurti speak. But, then, there were moments that I found disturbing, because this tape doesn't contain just his discourses. His discourses were often fragmented by interviews of other people. The intention of this tape is obvious - to summarize the life and the teachings of K. It is really a biography of Krishnamurti mixed with lengthy but incomplete speeches made by him. One should have that in mind when watching this tape. Or in my case, I just fast-forwarded when I saw these people trying to perform their intellectual analysis on Krishnamurti and his teachings.

It is an awakening video helps for the Spiritual seekers.
I attended to his lecture in 1982, but this is the first time I have seen the Video. I liked it but it is for those who are in serach of truth and hapiness. I watched it from the begining to the end with out taking anybreak. I want to see it once again. ... Read more

not enough scripture
Dvd only has 21 scriptures in over an hours time. I expected it to be more since in it's title it said christian retreat. I think it is mostly the californian coast, so if you have his california tapes, it's some repeats. It does have a nice shot on day 2 with rays coming through the clouds that look heavenly and in day 3,there is a shot of the sunsets reflections on the water in the shape of a cross. Also on day 2 on the scene where you are on top of a cliff looking down into the ocean, there is a swimmer who keeps getting knocked down and drug around by the surf everytime he gets up, watch for it. I am still wondering about that person. If you don't have any of these dvds, and you love the ocean, you must have one. They are relaxing, peaceful, and very realistic. I have fallen asleep to them more than once.

Refreshment for your soul.
This video satisfies that spiritual desire we all have for God's love. With His loving Words set upon the beautiful skies, and spectacular seascapes, you'll find Peace and Love in the magnificant tape. I've given it to many of my friends over Christmas and they all enjoyed it. A great gift of Love for all!

Serene beauty, quiet stillness, healing scriptures and...
time to ponder them.Soothing Scriptures is easy on the eyes and ears.The overall sound and images are beautiful and flowing.I'm very fond ofthis one for it is faith renewing and inspring at the same time. A greatgift for anyone in need of the Lord's guidance and love. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Martial arts master Lawrence Tan combines elements of yoga, tai chi, andqi gong to form one exercise that can be used either to energize or relax,depending on how the movements are performed. He instructs viewers by firstdemonstrating the moves himself, then using models, and finally teaching a classon-screen. Each step is shown with care and deliberation, ensuring that thenovice can keep up. Tan, a pony-tailed instructor with 30 years of martialarts experience, uses graphs to explain his principles and is fond of colorfulexpressions ("The mind is a drunken monkey"; "Float down through liquid Jell-O")to make his points. This 38-minute lesson should get viewers on the right track,whether the goal is "three minutes to power" or "three minutes to peace," orboth. Read more

Life Changing
I bought this DVD after seeing Master Tan on TV. As a Martial Arts instructor, I had hopes of learning more about ChiKung and the internal side of Martial Arts.I wasn't dissappointed!The first time I did the three minutes to power, my muscles felt as though I'd been lifting weights.I was also instantly more energized.But it was after doing the three minutes to peace for every night for several weeks that I could feel the energy moving through and healing my body.I'd had cronic shoulder and elbow pain for years and after a couple of weeks doing the Universal Form, it was gone!And I haven't had any more in the three years I've been practicing the Universal Form.

Helps you to deep breathe better & focus on your body
Master Tan isn't as boring as I'd thought, though there isn't much to teach & he doesn't miss a single thing for the average person who has no martial arts knowledge whatsoever. The simple movments help you to focus on your breathing to make it deeper & using hand motions either forfully with tension to get energized & increase muscle tone or lightly to relax. He uses a handful of average people in a seminar way to teach/demonstrate.
Excellent and simple to learn
This DVD is easy to follow and the exercises really seem to work. I was somewhat dubious at first, but after trying the exercises I'm quite excited. The form is easy to learn, and the format makes it easy to follow from the first time. The same form is used for a "power" exercise and a more meditative "peace" exercise. Both work well, and his philosophy appears well thought-out and grounded. Read more

Californian Zen
This is a quiter ocean dvd than Californian Dreams but is still relaxing.This dvd features many of the sites on Californian dreams but the waves are more gental and lapping.There is one night sean with waves lapping under the moonlights reflection which I enjoyed.Also on Day 5 you see several light houses.On one view you see a lighthouse in the distance over looking the ocean,but if you look closely enough you can see a intermentent light beam as it turns.It's a little white bright light that goes on and off but it's hard to see.Also it's possible there might be a foghorn on day 5 or 6.I thought I heard one but it was very distant and hard to here if I did.If that's what it was it wasn't as loud as the one in Californian Dreams.Also on Californian zen is a nice group of gulls scattered thruout but not as numourous as in Californian Dreams.The ocean seems like it's in the background on zen but it is still relaxing and is worth adding to your dvd collection.If you have Hawaiian dreams,Californian dreams and Californian zen you can pop one in each day and it will seem like a three day vacation.I highely recommend all three of these dvds for your collection.I hope the producer will make one of the Atlantic.Preferely the Southeast coast such as Savannah GA or Jekell Island GA.

Great for Meditation!
What a wonderful way to clear your mind sitting quietly on a beach. The sounds of the surf alone will help calm you. The sights of incredible sunsets make you realize how beautiful and precious life is. Highly recommended for anyone who meditates or is in search of a quiet place of solitude!

Ultimate stress reducer with immediate results!
As a caregiver for my handicap dad, these Waves tapes are our salvation.Powerful real medicine that speaks to the body, mind and spirit. Quick wayfor mom and me to meditate, relax or escape. It instantly alters our wholeenviroment, giving hours of peace. Beautiful beaches and lovely birds makethis one of my favorite Wave's videos. ... Read more

Was something missing?
The title says "Seven Experiments," so I was hoping and expecting that the video contained 7 experiments, but in reality, it only contained 3. I bought the video being particularly interested in the "phantom limb" experiment but was disappointed to find that it was not included.

a wonderful film
Thich Nhat Hanh's life is a spiritual teaching in itself, and it comes through magnificently in this brief film. His thoughtful and penetrating responses to the off-camera interviewer are wonderful to behold. His whole being is quiet and supple, fully engaged and spiritually beguiling, handling profound questions with noble ease. What a teacher! Knowing Nhat Hanh's incredible personal history of struggle during the Vietnam war helps to focus an understanding of his remarks on suffering; like Merton, he forges a synthesis of wide spiritual understanding to transcend the sectarian bottlenecks that plague contemporary religious practice. This monk is a living witness to the far horizons of human compassion. Door of Compassion curls its way through the listener frame by frame, inspiring and consoling anyone who seeks it. Many times worth the price listed here. ... Read more
