“A Sense of Calm” is 60 minutes long and features 6 relaxing videos of approximately 10 minutes each.
The images and music in each video flow seamlessly to the next, so it can be used by occupational therapists and carers for up to one hour of therapy, or in smaller segments, for those who just need 10 minutes to relax to their favourite track.
“A Sense of Calm,” is designed to be a sensory filter, to help relieve the anxieties, frustrations and agitation caused by sensory overload, especially in those whose medical conditions predispose them to such reactions.
For best results, we recommend cutting down as many outside distractions as possible, by playing the DVD in a comfortable, quiet room with subdued lighting.
The music should be adjusted for the individual – not too loud, but loud enough to
be heard and create a soothing atmosphere.
In a care situation, once the relaxing influences of “A Sense of Calm” have started
to take effect, the DVD can be used as a background for introducing other, controlled, stimulation in the form of massage, exercises, task-based activities, or social interaction – these will be individual to the patient’s needs.
The DVD can be played on a television in conjunction with a standard DVD player, or on a digital projector.
