PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
Slaves to phones, beepers, e-mails, faxes, piles of snail mail, congested traffic, and pushy telemarketers who call during dinner, many of us are trying to cope with the demands of family, finances, and career. As a result, we often feel squeezed out of our own lives, unable to extend sufficient kindness and care to our loved ones. The bottom line: We have very little peace of mind.
On this informative and inspirational DVD, Joan Z. Borysenko points out that you do have a choice-you can live with peace, joy and kindness, or let our "crazy busy" society totally stress you out. Through science and story, humor and cognitive psychology, Joan gives you simple, practical tools to transform "busyness" into peace. Learn now you can be more creative and productive when you're relaxed, and discover the inner peace that's part of your own true nature.
You don't have to me a monk or a nun, spending hours each day mastering your mind and opening your heart. You can learn to shift your relationship to time and find your peaceful center in the midst of your everyday life. If you've been searching for instructions for living well, you'll find them in this inspiring program that you'll want to share with your friends and family.

Special Bonus Segment: Join Joan for a guided meditation session, and see how easy it is to access your inner peace!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR VIEW AUTHOR'S WEB SITE
How did a Harvard trained medical scientist become a mystic? In reality, it was the other way around. At the age of 10, Joan experienced 6 months of an alternate reality, what modern psychiatry would label psychosis and obsessive compulsive disorder. One day, while praying fervently for help, all fear and confusion parted to reveal a luminous reality of exquisite love, surpassing peace, and practical wisdom that guided her to an almost instantaneous recovery. Her journey to hell and back birthed a lifelong fascination with healing, the roots of consciousness, and the realm of Spirit. Weaving together biology, psychology, and spirituality in a credible, accessible way is her soul's purpose.

Joan's doctorate is from the Harvard Medical School where she subsequently completed postdoctoral fellowships in cancer cell biology, psychoneuroimmunology, and behavioral medicine. In 1987, her New Times bestseller, Minding the Body, Mending the Mind (revised in 2007 for it's 20 year anniversary edition) described the program of mental and physical healing that she and her colleagues pioneered at a leading Boston hospital. She has authored or co-authored a dozen other books about healing, inner peace, and the spiritual journey, along with numerous audio programs and guided meditation CD's. Joan is also a licensed psychologist, a journalist, a renowned inspirational speaker, and a television personality.

Her lifelong interest in mysticism and the world's religions culminated in co-founding The Claritas (Latin for clarity and illumination) Institute for Interspiritual Inquiry with her husband, organizational psychologist Gordon Dveirin, Ed.D. The Institute has programs to train spiritual mentors, offers spiritual guidance to individuals and corporations, and hosts seminars and retreats. Joan and Gordon's new book, Your Soul's Compass: What is Spiritual Guidance? reveals how we can co-operate with the living field of possibilities to align with the emerging good in any situation.
