“Bill, I have an amazing story to tell you. I just spent the day with my folks, helping them out. Otto (my 79-year-old dad) told me about how much he enjoys watching your Hawaiian waterfalls video. He has been looking for something to help him cope (he is the primary caregiver for my Mom, who is suffering from Alzheimer-like symptoms after her two brain hemorrhages). He is having a rough time and has been searching for something to ease his burden. It's always nice to share your knowledge and experiences with someone you love, not to mention that I believe meditation could really help him ease his burden. I love my father and I have been trying really hard to help him cope with his loss. I gave him a book and some articles to read, and I made a few meditation CDs for him. Today he told me out of all the things he tried, he enjoys your video the most. He watches it for relaxation, or he plays it in the background while he is busy doing paperwork. He says it creates a very peaceful mood. He even said that when he goes to bed and closes his eyes, he "plays" your video in his mind to help him relax and fall asleep. He enjoys the "meditative" background music the most (wait till he hears the flute!)
I am just flabbergasted about all of this. I mean, we are talkin' about a guy who escaped from Czechoslovakia during the Communist rein, someone from the "old country" … where meditation is for sissies, and mental and emotional issues are not to be talked about. We are talking about a guy who pulled his own tooth, for god's sake! I am not sure what happened, but your video has really touched him. He just loves watching the Hawaiian waterfalls, something he most likely will never be able to see again up close. I am really grateful that you are working on this wonderful project and will make it available to the public to enjoy. Your video not only offers a chance to help people unwind and enjoy the healthful benefits of relaxation, but it also brings you up close to these spectacular and magnificent natural wonders, something many are not able to do in person.
Oh, by the way, Otto also said that it is obvious to him that you are not working on this project just to make money. He feels your sensitivity and understanding what this is all about really show in your work. He believes you felt what he feels when you were spending time in Hawaii working on this wonderful project.
As I mentioned to you before, my Mom also enjoys watching your video. The first time I played it for her, she sat and watched the entire 40 minutes of it with the "meditative" sound track, then wanted me to switch it to the "natural sounds" sound tract and watched the whole thing all over again. She thought it was just beautiful. She couldn't believe that these were real shots and you were really there in person to see all this beauty and splendor.
Bill, your product really stands out, not only because of its quality, but I also think it is great that one can select from a number of sound tracts to fit their particular mood or moment. It is like getting six videos for the price of one. I must tell you I have never seen a product like this one. Thank you. It is a real gem.” |
