"Thich Nhat Hanh is a master teacher and in Mindful Movements provides gentle, contemplative exercises specifically designed to cultivate a joyful awareness of the body and breath within the tradition of Zen Buddhism. These are the same "meditations in motion" that the monks and nuns of Plum Village Monastery use daily as a complement to their sitting meditation practice. Beautifully photographed in color throughout, Mindful Movements offers a practical way to bring mind and body into perfect oneness through ten "meditations in motion" restoring inner balance and refreshment, enhanced stretching, breathing, and mindfulness training, and a complete 20-minute exercise program led by the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Brother Michael. Mindful Movements is a superb addition to Buddhist studies and meditation resource collections."

"
Received in a timely manner. Thich Nhat Hanh's books and meditative movements are very helpful when dealing with the stress and trauma and sufferings of life. I do not believe I could be as compassionate as he is after enduring what he endured. He is an example of one to strive to be like in addition to Christ."

What a great opportunity!

"This DVD is a great opportunity to practice with Hanh the monks and nuns of Plum Village. It is easy to follow and understand, a very simple and pleasant video.
I found myself very calm and relaxed (and a little tired!) after doing the excercises. It is a very interesting experience, and really gives tribute to Hanh's principle of engaged buddhism."
