Vital Information and Practices
Dr. Jonn Mumford's Mind Magic Kit contains a short book and audio tape with two guided practices, one on each side. Although the book itself does not compare to some of his other works, the tape is extremely valuable. It guides the listener through two meditative practices that very effectively lead to deep states of relaxation. One side has a kind of shavasana (corpse position) practice in which each portion of the body is relaxed. This leads to a deep state in which the entire mind/body system can be refreshed. The other side has a biofeedback practice that is remarkable in its ability to access a very useful deep relaxed state in about 25 minutes. Anyone who can appreciate the value of learning how to disconnect from stress and tension, whether physical or in the mind, should seriously consider this kit. My only reservation would be for those who already know how to do these practices, which in fact, are not unique to Dr. Mumford, just extremely valuable and effective.

simple, effective and powerful
Dr. Mumford's Mind Magic Kit is a very valuable tool for inner exploration, personal growth and relaxation. It enables virtually anyone to experience the benefits of biofeedback at minimal cost and on their own time. It provides readers with simple, effective and powerful techniques that have withstood the test of time. Dr. Mumford is trained in the Hindu Tantric tradition and Western medicine; the material is presented in terms that are easily understood by Westerners unfamiliar with Eastern traditions or Western, New Age ideas. Though I am an experienced meditator, with a variety of different practices at my disposal, I use the Mind Magic kit on a regular basis; thus it is suitable for all. I highly recommend it.Mark Michaels, JD., MA.

Mind Magic Kit
I'd like to share my experience with the Mind Magic Kit with other readers. I've used the cassettes for relaxation purposes ever since the kit first came out in 1998. I never tire of their clear and uncluttered text and Dr. Mumford's voice. Of course, I have to admit that all of Dr. Mumford's books are a source of joy to me. I work in the healthcare field teaching Hatha Yoga and love his books because he combines his vast knowledge of ancient traditions with the very latest findings in neuroscience. It was his very first book, Psychosomatic Yoga, published in the early sixties which turned me into an avid Mumford reader. The Mind Magic Kit, too, is brief and energizing - not one extraneous word. I was shocked to read in one review that the Mind Magic Kit should be banned and wondered whether we had read the same book. Clearly the reviewer had a problem which needed medical attention, and I hope that he is well. I also hope that he might wish to retract his negative review. We are talking here of a concise little book packed with loads of useful information not only for persons wishing to 'destress' but also for anyone working in the health care field.
