 Very effective meditation CD August 5, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
this is the best one I've found to far in terms of getting peaceful and centered. I didn't think I'd like it when it started, but I relaxed and went with and ended up loving it. I wish you could forward through the tracks easier as when you do it a lot, it gets repetitive and if you want to get to the walking meditation it takes forever. I also change the chant from "may I" to "I am," as I believe in positive affirmation rather than wishing for something. Very peaceful CD.

This CD really works to calm the spirit. I listen at night and when walking. The words are inspirational and soothing. Do not listen to this CD when driving. Great for anxious people, the authors words and are uplifting while at the same time so soothing that it lulls you into deep calmness.
Wonderful CD! May 6, 2007

One of the best guided meditations I have ever experienced. Great voice and knows when to be quiet ... an appreciated skill. Highly recommend for those new to meditation and the old-timers!

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it, guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be "subliminal" or to "re-train the brain" or any of that balderdash.
What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. Bodhipaksa, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent.
I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.

These meditations are good for the beginner. The speaker goes slowly and has a calm, reassuring tone. The instructions are easy to follow and the result is a deep, effective meditation experience. This is definitely one of the better meditation CDs available.
