A Beautiful and Healing DVD
More Info For:
Hospitals or Individuals
I was alerted to this DVD by Lily Casura, who writes the Healing Combat Trauma blog - a link to which you will find in my blogroll.
The DVD is called Pacific Light. The cinematography of the California and Oregon coast is by Thomas Day Oates and is quite beautiful. (Here you will also find the story of how Thomas recovered from chronic fatigue immune disfunction syndrome.) The music, by R Carlos Nakai compliments it beautifully. It really does help you settle into a peaceful space.
There is a website where you can buy it and which contains, not only testimonials, but links to studies which have demonstrated its effectiveness in inducing a sense of peace.
If you are looking for something to help you deal with stress, or to be more peaceful, this is well worth checking out. You can view samples from the DVD on the website.

Hi Evan - Very glad you liked it! BTW, his full name is “Thomas Day Oates, Jr.” — not Thomas_ Jay_Oates. (Feel free to delete after reading!
I remember when I saw this new DVD what happened to the last one I owned of his, the previous one named “Cloud Peoples.” I’m fairly sure I gave it to a friend who was dying of cancer, and was spending too much gruesome time in a hospital bed, and she enjoyed very much, because it helped with pain control and sleep. This one is even better, IMO; he does wonderful work. It’s extra cool (sorry for the Americanism 
that he understands the process himself of suffering; I think that makes his eventual work product that much more compelling, in the healing realm. Anyway — just wanted to say hi and suggest the Jay -> Day correction. Hope you are doing well!
