Stress Free Living: Meditation for Busy Women Whether you have an hour to spare or just a couple minutes, meditation instructor Maneesha James has an appropriate strategy to reduce stress and unwind. She quietly guides a group of women through the longer exercises on mats in a gym-like setting, but she has a series of actresses show shorter techniques in a variety of everyday settings: the car, the office, a train, home. The first 37 minutes are dedicated to demonstrations of 19 of these techniques. For instance, there’s “Face-Off,” in which the face is made rubbery and contorted, and “Down to Earth,” in which the women jump up and down and then plant their feet to connect with the ground. She also leads the group in a fast-forward demonstration of the Osho Kundalini method–an hour-long active meditation that involves shaking, dancing, sitting still, and finally lying down. The last 15 minutes are dedicated to guided meditation, which the viewer can perform as she watches. The tape includes scenes of waterfalls, crashing waves, and other soothing visuals to the background of the composition “A Woman’s Heart” by Cobalt Ocean. –Kimberly Heinrichs
