Living Tao: A.M. Chi for Beginners
Living Tao: A.M. Chi for Beginners
Chi is “the flow of energy in the human body [that] rises and falls like the tide,” explains instructor David-Dorian Ross. Early morning, when the tide of chi within your body is rising, is the time to absorb nature’s morning chi, reenergize yourself, and prepare for a calm and balanced day. These chi kung exercises contain three movement sequences, totaling 20 minutes: “Gathering chi from 6 Directions and Mixing It in the Cauldron of the Body,” which recharges the spirit with fresh morning chi; “8 Pieces of Brocade,” which harmonizes the internal organs, aligns the meridians, and releases toxins; and “Opening the Heart,” a set of movements that open the “energy gate” at the heart. The movements are simple, fluid, and comfortable, emphasizing alignment of the spine, breathing, relaxation, and visualization. The scene is a glorious beach with crashing waves. By the end, you’ll feel energized and ready to meet the day with calm and balance. –Joan Price
Customer Review: Get way to stretch and prepare for the morning.
This tape is much akin to a great morning stretching program for your muscle groups, rather than a true workout. Truly low, low impact. The different forms, the pacing of the forms, and the music make this the perfect way to begin the day. The forms are not difficult to learn and breathing through each form is natural. I find that I’m more centered, alert, and relaxed.
I also recommend getting the music for the video. Peter Davison’s Adagio: Music for T’ai Chi. After practicing with the video, you want to just practice the forms to the music alone.
Customer Review: Take some time for yourself in the morning with this tape!
I recently started exercising religiously and found that my muscles (and entire body) were sore and stiff in the morning. This is the perfect way to get a deep stretch in the morning as well as calm your mind and body in preparation for the upcoming day. Before using this tape, I was always tired in the mornings, but now I feel ready to meet the day with a smile. I love feeling this way (even if if does cause annoyance to the people around me!) I think that everyone needs to take some special time for themselves each day. What better time than first thing in the morning?
The tape itself is extremely well-done. David-Dorian Ross has a calming voice, the scenery is beautiful and the music sets a great tone. I think that these exercises are accessible to anyone and very easy to do. Their effect is enormous.
One note: do not purchase this tape thinking that you are going to get a cardio workout. The purpose of this tape is to leave you mentally and physically energized all day and is an excellent supplement to an exercise routine.

Bubblehead waiter Elmo tires to serve food at Planet Storybook. While hobnobbing with Little Miss Muffet and others, he introduces several Sesame Street songs, including “Cereal Girl” (a satire of “Material Girl”) and “The Most Important Meal of the Day.” Best bit is Cookie Monster singing about things other than cookies that are good for you. –Doug Thomas

Customer Review: let’s eat
As they say in espanol ESTUPENDO. Great songs fabulous presentation and it works. Couldn’t rate it highly enough. Lo Mejor The other titles I have purchased were also of a high standard and most enjoyable.
Customer Review: It’s OK…
There’s some parts of the video that is really entertaining, but also had a lot of filler stuff that didn’t really get my daughter’s attention. For the most part, I’d say this one is OK.

Customer Review: Rice and Shine is Great!
This is a wonderful health product. I gave some to my parents and they are now customers. My sister just got a great health report from her doctor after switching from prescription drugs for some conditions to Rice and Shine. We all love the flavors and the many ways the product can be used. Makes a great “malt” when mixed with milk and ice in the blender. We love both the vanilla and the chocolate. Try adding strawberries, bannans,etc. to the vanilla. Ummm Good! RICE N SHINE by Patty McPeak (chocolate) ~ As Seen On TV ~
Customer Review: If you like drinking sand..
I didn’t experience any of the “amazing results” that this product bragged about. Not to mention that it’s so gritty that swallowing it is like tyring to choke down dry toast. It tastes awful. The only benefit I see is the fiber content, but this method of delivery is nowhere near enjoyable. This stuff is awful, and not worth the 35 dollars that it cost. If you want fiber, eat some veggies or take a supplement. This stuff is NASTY! If I could give it zero stars, I would.
