Summary: experienced and safe
Review: Mr Mumford's material is always safe and interesting. I have met with him numerous times and attended a comprehensive workshop outlining the books techniques. As with all his works the emphasis is on very practical methods backed by his decades of practical experience and extremely well researched and implemented knowledge. My own experience as a practitioner of breathing and prana vidya (energy transformation) techniques for over 25 years shows me it is only possible to have a crisis if you don't follow the instructions in a graduated and patient way...if all else fails READ the instructions!!! I recommend John's work to anyone, be it practitioner or teacher, beginner or advanced...

Summary: mind magic kit
Review: The Mind Magic Kit is not an ordinary book. It is, rather, a tool kit, a rather special tool kit, at that, offering assitance to any novice wishing he/she knew how to begin learning to relax for self healing and stress relief. Even more than that, this wonderful little kit is chock full of practical technique for movement on the path toward self mastery. If one is already tuned up in these ways and already knows something about relaxation and so on, then this kit provides a sophisticated opportunity to go deeper, even much deeper. Inside the box, I found a small book + audio tape. Without having to involve myself with the book, the audio tape was ready for me to use. I could use it right away. The tape is made in such a way, that even though I hadn't yet gotten around to the book, I could still get meaninful benefits RIGHT AWAY. Personally, I have valued this. In my busy, busy world, immediate access means alot. The book itself is a teaching tool. I can work with it as I desire, and it helps me to know more of what I am doing with the tape. As with all of Dr. Mumford's work, the material in his book is "ordinary" -- by this, I mean, framed in a way that is easy to grasp and utilize. I love this quality! I know that there are plenty of other practices for self-healing and relaxation on the market. The outstanding quality I have found with Dr. Mumford's work here is that this kit offers me not only a guided path with his own wonderful voice to keep me on track, but a way to learn something very valuable that I can do FOR MYSELF. The teaching offers to sponsor me into independence, as much as I want to have it. The Mind Magic kit is offered in a format that does not just "give me a fish" -- rather as it gives me the fish, it offers me the opportunity, through the teaching, to learn how to catch one myself! I like this a great deal and appreciate the style Dr. Mumford offers toward self-empowerment. If you are looking for something that works, I recommend Mind Magic. Try it -- I did, and I recommend it all the time. Elizabeth Holliday, Yoga Teacher (10 years); President, Alternative Health Centers of America
