Customer reviews Great Resource for Nursing Students by .. Janna L. Smith (Pennsylvania)
I am a junior level nursing student and there are still many skills that I have not gotten the opprotunity to do or see. This disk shows short, but detailed videos of the actual procedures done to real person. I think this will be a wonder resource when I am preparing for clinical the next day.

Product Description This text encourages students to take more active roles as media consumers and gives them a deeper understanding of the role that the media play in both shaping and reflecting culture. Through this cultural perspective, students learn that audience members are as much a part of the mass communication process as are the media producers, technologies, and industries. This was the first university-level text to make media literacy central to its approach. . Building on this tested emphasis, the updated fifth edition features a complete updating of industry statistics throughout, numerous new examples from the ongoing Iraq war, Virginia Tech shooting, the Don Imus controversy, and much more!.

Product Description What if every step you took deepened your connection with all of life and imprinted peace, joy, and serenity on the earth? With Walking Meditation, listeners enjoy the first comprehensive instructional program in this serene spiritual practice to help them walk with presence and peace of mind whether in nature or on a busy city street. Presented in a unique format that combines a book with a DVD and audio CD, Walking Meditation features esteemed Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh along with one of his principle students, Anh-Huong Nguyen, as they together illuminate the central tenets of this powerful art, including: • How to recognize the miracle in simply walking—not as a means to an end, but as the opportunity to touch the fullness of life • Reversing "habit energy" through the unification of body and mind • Using walking meditation to work with difficult emotions such as anger and anxiety, and much more. There is a Buddhist concept known as Apranihita, or the spirit of "wishlessness," in which one neither pursues desires nor flees from discomforts. With Walking Meditation, practitioners from every spiritual tradition will rediscover "our home in the here and now, as the long road we all must walk turns to quiet joy." Customer reviews Excellent for Beginners too :) by .. J. locke (Springfield, Oregon)
I purchased this for my 28 year old son who was interested in beginning a meditation practice. This is an accessible product, well written and the cds are well done as far as pacing and simplicity. I had attempted to introduce meditation in several other ways, but this was the ticket. I like how it is presented in a couple of different ways in order to be approachable for people with various learning styles. Great for the beginner or any of us who would like a brush up :).
Great compilation  by .. ()
Whether you have been meditating for years or days, Walking Meditation offers the opportunity to take the practice of mindfulness and present moment living into action.
Walking Meditation contains a CD, DVD and book providing the opportunity to learn this practice at your pace with the expert instruction of two wonderful teachers. The book includes a description of the varieties of practice, with markers for the CD/DVD tracks.
The CD features Nguyen Anh-Houng and begins with a meditation on conscious breathing, and then explores the practice of walking meditation for ourselves, with nature, with others and for healing emotions.
The DVD features the founder of Mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hahn, offering instructions on being in the present moment, the practice of walking meditation, and the importance of smiling, much of which is archival footage.
"The idea is that we do not put anything ahead of ourselves and run after it. When we practice walking meditation, we walk in this spirit. We just enjoy walking, with no particular aim or destination. We walk for the sake of walking."- Thich Nhat Hahn
Very good intro to walking meditation by .. KV Trout (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I really like the dvd that comes with this, where you get to see Thay actually teaching a group of students how to do walking meditation. Ms. Nguyen, who teaches on the cd, is less effective, for me. She talks TOO slow and I get impatient with her. (I know, "meditate on this"!)
The book is short, though it also does give a lot of basic info on walking meditation.
Overall, I think this is a worthwhile purchase, especially if you can find it on sale. The dvd is the best part, but the book and the cd are also worthwhile.
This is a good introduction to mindfulness and provides a nice simple method for walking meditation by .. Patrick D. Goonan (Pleasanton, CA)
I teach meditation workshops and I'm a personal growth coach. I have a background in psychology and have studied meditation for many years. There is a lot of material out there on meditation and much of it is very good. However, there isn't very much literature on walking meditation.
What this CD provides is elementary mindfulness principles and a very simple walking practice to go along with these. This simple method is easily learned and the accompanying book reinforces the basic principles.
If you are looking for a technical approach with lots of details on an advanced walking meditation practice, this may not be for you. However, this material covers essential points about living a happier life and walking as a spiritual practice. It gets you started in the right direction and takes a Zen rather than traditional Theravadan approach.
In certain sections the book and audio don't exactly correspond, but I don't see that as a real obstacle to learning. In fact, normally you wouldn't get a book along with a CD at this price point.
There are also other good CDs that present walking meditation from a different viewpoint such as Insight Meditation: A Step-By-Step Course on How to Meditate Another set of good complimentary practices presented from a Western point of view is Guided Mindfulness Meditation (Guided Mindfulness). I would seriously consider some of this material as well as your practice gets deeper.
You can see a list of some of these resources on my profile grouped under Buddhist Meditation resources. I find that walking meditation is a particularly good practice for Western people and this is a great starting point for any type of practice. There are many approaches to this type of meditation and all of them can be very beneficial.
The WALKING MEDITATION is no walk in the park! by .. S. Hall (Cape Cod, MA)
I am disabled. It is very hard for me to walk. However, with the Walking Meditation I find it much easier to walk, for the meditating gets one's mind off of the pain you're experiencing. I would recommend it for anyone who has difficulty in walking but wants to increase their walking capactiy. It is indeed a life saver for me.

Customer reviews Unmatched anatomy software. by .. Pterygoid Moon (Utah)
This is the best anatomical software you could ever hope to find! It is leaps and bounds ahead of other programs on the market. It's a steal for the price, and should be required for all undergraduate anatomy courses. You'll never regret buying it, but you'll be kicking yourself if you don't get it. These are beautiful dissections that clearly show the anatomy, with easy to understand accompanying text. GET THIS SOFTWARE!

Product Description This comprehensive text describes the basis and practice of Muscle Energy Techniques (MET), a widely recognized approach to treating musculoskeletal dysfunction. It describes those manipulative techniques in which a patient, on request, actively uses his or her muscles from a controlled position in a specific direction against a distinct counterforce applied by the practitioner. These techniques are combined from methods used in physical therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and manual medicine. A companion DVD-ROM includes video clips demonstrating the application of techniques. - Details the background to soft tissue dysfunction and explains the chain reactions which occur as part of such dysfunctions.
- Provides precise assessment and diagnosis guidelines.
- Gives many variations on the safe use of MET in acute, chronic, and rehabilitation settings.
- Explains the use of MET for whole muscle problems, local dysfunction, and joint restrictions.
- Suggests patient self-application methods.
- Includes a companion DVD-ROM with video clips of the author demonstrating the techniques.
- Additional techniques are added to both text and DVD-ROM videos.
- Information is expanded on some of the techniques included in previous edition.
- Content is updated throughout, with reference to the latest published research.
- Four new chapters cover efficacy and research, MET in a massage therapy setting, MET in treatment of athletic injuries, and MET in physical medicine settings.
Customer reviews Osteopath specific by .. Linda Bennett (Melbourne, Vic, Australia)
This is a well written, clear book, but as a massage therapist I found there was a steep learning curve for osteopathic theory and jargon. It took a lot of time to read through to find out that the techniques used were actually very similar to ones I had already learnt, just with a much bigger physiological theory base behind them. Also, it is coming from the perspective of osteo/chiro where apparently they always tend to do manipulations, not massage, so a lot of time is spent on the apparently revolutionary viewpoint that working on muscles helps pain and dysfunction. Duh!
In short, a great book for osteos, but not so great for massage therapists.
MET's Simplified by .. Tree (NSW Australia)
What a fantastic book! I am a massage therapist in Australia and wish I had known about this book whilst I was in training. The content is written in a way that makes it very easy to understand. I have also found techniques that work much better than the ones I was taught in class. Well done Leon!
An Excellent Tool by .. kbisapt ()
This book is an excellent resource and the techniques within are commonly used within the physical therapy arena. MET, although not a panacea, is a valuable tool that should be included within a comprehensive treatment plan for numerous neuromusculoskeletal conditions. To the layperson; this isn't a book to be bought for self-treatment nor for trying out on family members. Seek advice only from a qualified physician (MD, DO) and then, if the physician deems outpatient therapy is an option for your care, inquire with your physical therapist about muscle energy techniques as part of your treatment plan.
A little goldmine by .. Julie Harm (Wollongong, NSW Australia)
I teach massage therapy here in Australia. Often, students will ask about books they should buy in order to become better therapists, and this is one that I always happily recommend. The techniques are well explained and relatively easy to apply. What's more they are safe, as well as beautifully effective. Anyone interested in improving their results with bodywork should have a look at this (and most of Chaitow's work, as far as I am concerned!).
EXCELLENT! by .. Denise Masker (Manchester, CT United States)
This is the best book I've come across for introducing a novice to the concepts and practice of MET. Chaitow's other books tend to go into very minute detail about the nervous system component of these techniques. This book is very well ordered and the assessments and techniques don't get lost in the minutae. HIs very clear presentation of the far-reaching effects of dysfunction in one part of the body is excellent. If you are interested in these techniques, this is the book! You can then follow up with his other books on the subject, especially Soft Tissue Manipulations. I'm using this book in a medical massage program in which I am an instructor.
