views of serenity

I meditate and practice yoga. I must say that it has been a joyful experience using the Views of Serenity while meditating or practicing yoga. The beautiful scenery the sound of nature and the wonderful choice in classical music brings peace and joy to my practice. I truly enjoy this DVD so if you're looking for a great Christmas gift or a gift at anytime do not hesitate to buy it. I give it **********

Wonderfully Relaxing

I really enjoyed the fact that there were several different views to choose from. My 2 favorites are the fisheye one (Rocky Shores?) and the cold day one. Although the nature sounds are pretty cool I usually like to listen to them with the soft music track. The nature sounds are a bit too relaxing so I might watch that if I'm in bed getting ready to go to bed. Otherwise a great collection of views and nice relaxing music to kick back and unwind too.

Beautiful scenery, relaxing music - It works for me!

I didn't have any specific expectations in the DVD. The pictures looked pretty, the price was good and so far I had no "fireplace-DVD" so I gave it a try.
I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The cover is nicely designed and the DVD has a stylish shore image printed onto it. The same style is continued in the DVD menus which are easy to use and again pretty to look at. By now I have seen all of the nature scenes (seven) on this DVD and found that they are as promised: relaxing and thanks to their variety fitting all kinds of different moods. Having seen the trailer I already knew I would get a variety of ocean views, a water fall and some green forest like scenes. What the trailer did not tell was how beautiful they look on a TV-sized screen. I love the scenery and the colors! It's also great that there is a choice between the nature sounds and two different music tracks per scene. It jumps up the variety even more. The music itself consists mainly of relaxed piano/violin pieces with catchy little melodies that I don't grow tired of even if they run over a longer period of time like dinner.
For a little break between family and job I used to stand in the kitchen with a coffee in hand and the remaining to-do-list in my head. Now I sit down, turn on the DVD player and enjoy. I really look forward to these timeouts and they put me in a better mood which has already been noticed by my family. During meals the DVD sets a nice atmosphere that my family enjoys very much. Even my pets respond to it. Their favorite is the waterfall with its original sounds. They gather around the TV and listen intently. Quite funny to watch for the rest of us.

Summary: I would recommend this DVD to everyone looking for a relaxation, nature or "fireplace" DVD. It makes a great present for practically anyone and any occasion. A great buy for the price.
