IPhone 3G used's review (Cup hooks and wire?) 『Hanging a plain wire from small "cup" hooks is not what I consider a hanging lantern. Looks kinda okie. Not sure if it would even meet code to hang a wire as they suggest. You would have to spend another $15 for chain and decent looking hooks to make it presentable. This is only half of a hanging lantern. really a ripoff. What you get is a light socket attached to a wire and plug, two cheap "cup" hooks and the paper shade.』
(Perfect!) 『The lantern came carefully packaged and arrived quickly! I would definitely buy from this source again. Thank you!』
(Easy to install and wonderful to look at) 『This was so easy to install (all hooks needed were included in the packaging) and it looks great hanging up. The nice detail of the bamboo around the bottom gives it added interest and stability. Wonderful.』 『Traditional Japanese shoji style rice paper hanging lantern w/ split bamboo ribbing.

In fact, it has been playing most of the time since I got it! It creates a very soothing and relaxing atmosphere without being monotonous. I have different meditation cd's, but I have never heard spiritual sounds being used in such a creative and diverse way. Each track has a unique style. Wai Lana and Siddha both have very soft and touching voices that are also at times incredibly powerful. I find this cd has a deep, positive effect on my mood and attitude. I just ordered their other cd, Yoga-Music of the Heart, and can't wait to receive it. I hope it's as great as this one.』
(Yoga Sound is a God-send!) 『Yoga Sound is the most wonderful surprise I could have ever hoped for. It is so soothing and relaxing - I find I can listen to it all day long and never grow tired of it. As a result, I gave it to several of my friends as a gift and they absolutely love it. One friend is a yoga teacher and another a massage therapist - they told me their students and clients really enjoy it and always comment on how nice it makes them feel. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who is looking to calm their mind from the daily stresses of everyday life.』
(70's Revisited) 『"Yoga Sound: Wai Lana&Siddha"CD by Gold Moon Productions....
Lately I've been enjoying the benfits of excercising to Yoga.I find it to be mentally refreshing and physcially challenging,with visable results.. More and more I find myself adding Yoga sessions to my workouts, so I thought I'd give this music a try to add a little ambiance to the routines.
Although there were a couple of tracks that had that ambiance I was looking for, I think that for that most part, you would really have to be into the spiritual side of Yoga to appreciate this music. I guess I am not! It did not relax me. In fact, there were times when I was stricken with intense and vivid flashbacks of being at the airport in L.A. in the 70's, being surrounded by people chanting at me, and me not having a dollar for a flower! This is not meant to be offensive to anyone who enjoys this type of music, it just wasn't what I had in mind for me personally.
The up side is that if you do enjoy this genre, you will find 10 tracks, that are all a good enough length to"get into". They run from 3:36 to 12:29(most being somewhere in between).I also find that it is always enlightening, to at least experience music of all types and cultures.There is a list of the songs, and a few that you can listen to samples of in the buying info here. They are short but may give you some idea of what to expect.
I will be passing my copy on to someone who will appreciate this more than I do.
"Om Hari Om"......remember to breathe...and thanks...Laurie』
(The Best Music Ever) 『I bought this CD because I watch and practice with the show as well as love the music on the show. I was thoroughly enchanted by the sublime vocals. Siddha's voice ranges from sweet and smooth, to emotional and grand, while Wai Lana's beautiful and enchanting voice sends warmth through your body. These two coupled with incredible guitarists, majestic pianists, and wonderful drummers bring to you a beatiful album. 12 songs of incredible depth. My personal favorite is track 7, Lionheart. Lionheart is the most incredible song on the album. You will find yourself singin along to this song while it's playing, and singing it when it's not. The guitarist outdoes himself on this song with an incredible passionate intro, interlude, and accompaniment, while the pianist shows the true depth to his own skills. If you ever want a CD of relaxing music, this is it. I myself do not believe in the Indian religion, (being a Christian), however I do use this album to relax at any time. It is perfect for any genre of music.』
(EXCELLENT! from a music lover) 『Wow! What a nice, beautiful CD! I was expecting it to be so unworthy to buy because of the reviews i read about this WAI LANA CD....but I bought it anyway...good thing I didn't listen to those who wrote negative reviews about this CD...This CD is actually beautiful...the songs are a combination of different yogic mantras with different instruments...creating a very unique, beautiful sound..that can make your whole body and mind relax...:) So for those who wants to try this CD but taken aback by the negative reviews, please try to understand that every person has his own taste...some may like it, some may not...so feel free to try and listen to it... :)』 『Yoga sound is the heart and soul of yoga. Let Wai Lana's Yoga Sound take you on a meditative journey far beyond the stress, strain, and anxiety of everyday life. Get loose! Sing and dance with this colorful blend of ancient Sanskrit chants and songs with modern instruments and melodies. Beautiful! Dynamic! Uplifting!

My kids, currently 2 and 4, love this CD. We listen to it in the car, where they can do the breathing exercise parts, and my 4 year old listens to it at home and follows the instructions from beginning to end - it effectively gives him his own yoga practice. I stumbled across this CD at our local library, and the boys loved it so much I ended up buying them a copy of their own.
The yoga exercises are simple but effective (actually good for adults, too!), and explained in a way that is very accessible to kids. The songs and spoken instructions/explanations are simple, fun, and lovely, and still bring all the richness yoga has to offer to kids in a way that speaks to them. Fun and relaxing all at once.
IPhone 3G used's review (Handle With Care) 『This a tape that features a number of Tibetan yoga's pranayama (breath control) exercises. But beware: almost every exercise emphasizes retaining (holding) the breath as long as you can. For anyone with hypertension or heart problems, this is DANGEROUS. One yogi I studied with explained that breath retention was rarely considered a means of improving health; rather, it was considered an adjunct to meditation that was generally recognized as good for the soul, bad for the physiology. While very moderate breath retention is probably safe, anything involving even mild strain is a no-no. Buy this tape if you're curious, but don't hold your breath! And please, please read Iyengar's Light on Pranayama, the most comprehensive book on breathing exercises extant. Iyengar specifically addresses the limitations of those with hypertension, hypotension, etc., and teaches accordingly.』
(A treasure of valuable practices) 『The video is very good, it teaches ancient practices treasured at the heart of the vast spiritual knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism. These are not teachings that you will find everywhere in bookshelves. For any meditator this teaching could be really valuable. The landscapes, and Lama Surya's spiritual energy and compassion makes this video wonderful!』
(No energy, much hectic) 『My expectation of watching a video with this topic is that the instructor shows at least some inner focus towards what he is teaching. This instructor is just plain hectic and restless. The exercises itself may be useful but the instructor takes away all the energetic exercises by simpley being incongruent in his teachings. Watching this video makes you feel nervous ,too after some minutes. Although the landscape in the background looks nice, the rest is amateur performance. Bad ratio between price and information.』
(A Wonderful Video to Help Us Gain Health!!!) 『This video gives us 30 minutes a day to regain both our mental and physical health. The exercises are purely Tibetan and purely wonderful. Lama Surya Das instructs us outdoors in a beautiful Colorado oasis (lake, trees, forest) and we learn how to take care of ourselves. These exercises are also a brilliant preliminary to our meditation. Nourishing, or balancing, both sides of our bodies, we are deeply harmoninized and ready to funtion in our highly-stressed world. The exercises also stand alone so that you don't have to meditate. Or we could even go a step further and state that these exercises are meditation. The wonderful thing about movement exercises is that they blend our meditation into our everyday life. With mindful moving and eyes open, this is crossing the boundary between meditation and non-meditation. One can practice meditation 16 hours a day! And these eight exercises are so valuable because they"crack"the body's inhibitions and dissolve the negativities there within. Releasing...releasing...releasing. Releasing the past, releasing the future, and just being in the all-fulfilling present. Problems shrink in size and become"workable". The past seems"understandable"now. The eight exercises are all done seated. You will love this tape. I am sure that you will do the exercises. And see the difference in your daily life. A simply wonderful video. An 11-page study guide with three books listed at the end as additional resources. Good luck!』 『Tibetan Energy Yogapromotes a healthy and harmonious flow to the energy system through eight exercises that focus primarily on breathing techniques. Lama Surya Das leads this 30-minute session with special concentration on the balance and purification of yoga (meaning union). Surya Das explains that we all have solar (male) and lunar (female) energies within ourselves that can be directed toward cleansing and grounding our spiritual being. Each of the eight exercises has three phases: the first stage is called filing up (or inhaling deeply), the second is holding (or meditating), and the third is grounding (or releasing). The last of these three is done with great fervor and Surya Das encourages an external release through vocalization (almost growling). This portion of the workout is definitely not for the soft-spoken or shy participant because it requires a total release of inhibitions. The format is more spiritually charged than your sweatin' to the oldies video--chanting and prayer play an integral part. The foundation of this set is meditation. Exercises enhancing flexibility that are usually part of a yoga format are not present here. In fact, the whole class is conducted in one sitting position with limited utilization of major muscle groups. The scenery is beautiful and the music is peaceful, which almost seems to contradict abrasive exercises like "in the lion's roar" and "bep-Chung" (meaning small jumps from a seated position). This unique yoga configuration closes out with concentrated mediation and the wisdom mantra (a haunting chant that may leave you humming the next day). Despite the lack of physical challenge here, participants may experience some stress relief and learn a chant or two.--Olivia Voigts』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (A very average video with a nice extra) 『There's nothing to complain about in this video, but little to get excited about either. Nevine Michaan takes you through 10 poses with a few token references to their impact for women. The production qualities are fine, the music is fine, the content is fine. If you'd like a 15 minute stretching routine, then this product should have a home in your video library. The one bright spot is the 10 video cassette sized cards describing each pose. They would be good for travel or reminders anywhere you don't have a VCR handy.』 『The renowned yoga instructor Nevine Michaan looks as though she could peacefully pretzel herself in a dozen different ways. Happily, in her videoYoga for Women, a 25-minute introduction of basic positions as well as the broader aims of yoga, she doesn't askyouto do that. Instead, Michaan demonstrates and describes (in voice-over) 10 yoga postures that are perfectly attainable even for beginners. As the video's title suggests, Michaan's instruction is geared toward women, with emphasis on maintaining reproductive health, weathering menopause, and preventing osteoporosis.
In a relaxed and supportive teaching style, Michaan explains each of the 10 continuous yoga poses in detail, including how to move into and out of position. Her approach to yoga is not overly mystical, but this is more than just exercise. Michaan promotes a holistic understanding of the body, with focus on breathing, stretching, and holding poses. She promises holistic returns, and she delivers. Not only will your spine feel better, but you'll also feel balanced, open, calm, and limber, and you'll have paid more attention to your breath than you have in years. In addition,Yoga for Womenuses soothing music and an unobtrusive set of pale backdrops and wood floors. As a result, you can focus entirely on the new configurations of your body.
A bonus of this video is a packet of 10 cards illustrating each of the featured positions--not a substitute for the real thing, but a great option if you're traveling or competing for the VCR.--Emily Bedard』

(off-beat; off-putting) 『If an exercise DVD motivates me to get up and actually do the work, and if I am happy to return to it repeatedly, I consider it a DVD worth having. There are many excellent exercise DVDs that do, however Pamela Peeke's is not one of them. Since it is well known that the use of exciting, upbeat music helps motivate and inspire people to exercise, I cannot understand why anyone would produce an exercise DVD without including this easy and enjoyable benefit. Instead, the Peeke DVD offers only exceptionally dull, tedious, and repetitive music which not only fails to get the viewer charged up, but causes me to want to avoid listening to it altogether. The offensive music is further emphasized by demonstrators who unfortunately lack a sense of rhythm. I find watching them exercise while just slightly off the beat to be annoying, distracting, and thoroughly off-putting. As a result, while this DVD is collecting dust, I return to those which combine exciting, fun, and motivating music with demonstrators who are capable of moving to the beat, and make me want to get up and exercise with them.』
(Just another exercise book) 『This book didn't really tell me any more that any other exercise and health book. It is nice that it came with a workout cd too. I watched the workout but have not done it. It did not seem like anything special at all. There are certainly much better exercise cds out there.』
(great for getting started) 『I am 50 and have always been thin. Lately, I have a bit of a pooch and cannot seem to lose the 15 extra pounds of weight I have put on the last few years. This DVD and book are a GREAT starting point for people who have resisted exercise. Well worth the money.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (A little fishy?) 『Hmmm... I sometimes find the Amazon reviews for New Age/pop psychology/alternative medicine merchandise curiously skewed with 5 star reviews that seem artificially sent out by devotees of the author or practitioner. (And at times seen it the other way -- organized attacks towards an author of an opposing point of view.)
I thought it odd that I was seeing many verbatim reviews by the same person scattered throughout many of the reviews for Murray's various DVDs and books. I clicked on the "see all my reviews" of over two pages of (5 star) reviewers and very frequently they only reviewed this guy's products and often pasted in the same comments for each DVD or book. Sorry, that stretches my credulity a bit too far.
I rarely see this kind of phenomena for other Amazon reviews. I'd certainly do my homework before buying into his very maverick approach (attunements by DVD). Not to say it couldn't be genuine. I guess just a word of caution.
And no, I am not associated with any Reiki practitioner or tradition. Just a novice trying to chart my course.』
(Great program!) 『I have nothing but great things to say about Steve Murray's program. All his books are well-written, to the point, and very informative. I also agree that if you can send someone long-distance Reiki, it only follows that you could send someone a long-distance attunement. I was fortunate enough to be able to do both a Reiki 1 seminar in person, and Steve Murray's Reiki 1 DVD attunement with his books. Both taught the same information about the history of Reiki, what Reiki is and isn't, and how attunements are given. The only difference is that in the seminar we were shown how to give Reiki to self and others and had the opportunity to practice quite a few times. I think that if Steve Murray could make a DVD with a demonstration of giving a full Reiki session to self and to others, that would make his program complete in my opinion. However, you can purchase William Lee Rand's `The Reiki Touch' set and that comes with a DVD demonstration. There is not an attunement in that set because they are of the belief that attunements must be done in person. The in- person attunement and Steve Murray's DVD attunement felt the same to me and I plan to do Reiki 2 and Master Reiki through Steve Murray. He also can send you a really beautiful certificate for each level you complete!』
(Empowering!) 『Empowering!! I am by nature open minded but cautious. I read Steve's website top to bottom and was inspired by the truth as I read it. It resonated with something deep inside me. I was very drawn to his openness and perspectives on Reiki and decided that this was the right path to follow. I have not been disappointed at all!! Very congruent in all his writing and his mission statement. His DVD's and books empower you on whatever level you are interested in learning. He is a true teacher. You can read it, see it and feel the energy. Thank you so much Steve for all your insightful information and for sharing all your knowledge with everyone in an affordable way. This was a smart investment for me. I am truly grateful and much more knowledgeable.』
(THIS taught me that Reiki really DOES work.) 『I have studied Reiki with teachers in person and online for over 10 years. THIS DVD was the first time I found myself trusting in the process of energy passing from one moment to another for the sake of "attunement" or the like. There was something magickal about the idea that I had to trust in this process due to it being a DVD and not a human standing right next to me. Most humans charge an arm and a leg simply to stand there anyway - and not much can happen that way either. It's true, not all people are going to have the same wonderful experience that I [and others] did. This is simply what Reiki is all about, each of us having a togetherness connection to the Reiki Energy source itself, while ALSO having our own experiences learning about how to harness and use it. This is what I've learned most from Steve; his books and DVD's have opened my heart and mind like no other Reiki teacher I've worked with. I'm very happy I bought and took his courses.』
(Great Book!) 『I was already a Reiki Master, and purchased Steve Murray's, Reiki Ultimate Guide, Ultimate Guide Vol. 2, Vol. 3, and Vol. 4, along with the DVD attunements for each. The attunements were very powerful, and the energy flow is no doubt stronger. This program has to be the most convent, and realistic way to get started in the Reiki healing practice. I have tried several other Reiki programs in the past, and Steve Murrays Reiki Ultimate Guides, are the very best I have found yet. You will not be disappointed. D.

The short segments are great when I don't have time for a full workout. If I do have extra time, after doing one segment, I always want to do more - it is very positive and energizing. I would not recommend this video for absolute beginners, because if you don't know basics&modifications, you could get hurt trying some of these poses/moves. I have been slowly learning&practicing yoga, mostly from books and videos, over about a 2 year period and from this video I learned some great variations on poses that have really enhanced my practice.』
(So-so) 『First, I've done a couple of the segments on the DVD, and they were both longer than 10 minutes (around 13 minutes or so) - not a huge deal, but why would they specifically name it "10-minute Workouts?" Second, the instructor is obviously very experienced and flexible, and doesn't offer many modifications for those of us who are not all that flexible. It seems that she just assumes everyone watching can keep up with her. Also, sometimes the video quality is not all that good.』
(Just what I was looking for) 『I have been trying to find a yoga DVD that is broken in short segements so that I can slowly try to incorporate yoga for flexibility training. I have some experience but am a beginner. What I wanted most was a morning routine that included sun salutations so I could easily follow along. That is exactly what I found. I purchased this DVD for the "awaken and energize" segment and it's what I was looking for--a 10 minute segment of breathing, streching, and sun salutations.
Susan Grant is easy to follow, she cues well enough so I'm not constantly looking at the TV and can instead focus on my form. There's some voice-over narration for extra information along with the occasional inset to show modifications. The set is sparse but does not detract from the workout. I've only done the first segment but I've previewed the entire disc and plan on trying the other workouts at some point. Thus far, I'm pleased with the disc and look forward to using it frequently.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Great Excercise Ball!) 『I love my new ball! I had previously purchased a cheap one and was very disappointed. This ball is so much better than the lower quality ones. It is very thick and the texture is soft feeling. It also doesn't collect hair and dirt like the other one did which is very nice when you have pets. I love that it is a natural material. When I wanted to buy one I didn't think I would be able to meet that criteria, but this ball does! I couldn't get the ball to inflate using the hand pump that comes with it. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or what but I finally got out the foot pump from the cheap ball I bought and used that. It went much more quickly! I actually bought two of these (green for me and red for husband) and am very glad I did. The colors are great, too which is a big factor to me. I would definetly recommend the ball to anyone!』
(Wonderful baby soother that fits our decor..) 『I hate to say that I chose this exercise ball because it was an awesome color in the photo. And I gotta admit, in real life, it is an awesome color that goes well with our decor.
I am 5'5" with a long torso/short legs and, unfortunately, this ball is too large for me to do most of the seated exercises. Currently, we have it partially deflated and use it to soothe our cranky newborn who will passes out after we hold him all swaddled up and bounce on it.
As a former gym rat and physio therapy victim, the ball is great. Set up is easy, but it does take awhile for the plastic to soften enough that you can get it round and for the stink to go away. It does not have that cheap, slick GAIM feel that collects near vicinity dirt and hair. Its slightly textured surface has a better grip.
I do like it a lot and would love to buy the same one but in a smaller size, but, alas, they do not manufacture it in the same color. So sad!』
(Good size, sturdy, and doesnt get dirty) 『This ball arrived and my 14 year old daughter who is generally weak and out of shape pumped it up with the hand pump that came with it in about 15 minutes while watching TV without much effort. It is very sturdy and I trust it to not break. I got the red ball because I am 5'8". The ball looks small to me, but it works perfectly. My old ball was annoying because it would collect dust and get sticky if you didn't wash it (yuck). But this one does not collect dust or get sticky.』 『One of Natural Fitness's founding principles is to tread lightly on the earth.
