 Calming & Soothing August 1, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I am new to meditation and have tried a few other CDs. I have not enjoyed many others as much as this. The voice is very calming and walks you through the meditation. I actually like it so much that I find it hard to end the session. It is a very listenable CD in that it's just a calming, soothing, non-irritating voice gently instructing you. Bodhipaksa gives you the opportunity to breathe and to take the time it takes to go further into a meditative state. One of the best things about this CD is that there is no music. I am an avid music-lover, but in terms of meditating I prefer just a voice with no further distractions. Bodhipaksa has created a wonderful meditation ; by making the material presented on the CD very simple and relaxing to listen to.
This CD can be used by any open-minded person regardless of faith or background, and can only be of benefit to you: as it was to me.
 worst CD ever July 7, 2006

I bought this CD to relax me being a medical student, but this is the worst meditation CD that i ever bought. It's very boring and its very repetitive. I hate it. I wish i never spent that money on it. Not worth getting.
 Heightened Awareness - Yes. Anxiety Relief - Not So Much. June 26, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
As a newcomer to meditation looking to treat anxiety, I found this CD only moderately helpful in terms of what I was looking for. I found the pace a little too quick and too much time was spent on awareness - so much so that I actually became more anxious. Of course, I'm only judging this CD based on it's effectiveness for me personally and my goals, but if you're looking to treat severe anxiety, better options are available.
Not just for beginners June 11, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this CD, but, after listening to it a few times, I'm happy I gave it a chance. I have been meditating for years (Vipassana, mantra meditations, etc.). This CD slows down my thoughts, and clears my head very quickly.
As they say in Yoga: keep that beginner's mind. This CD is great for beginners but I also find it useful for those times when I want something external to help me focus.
Perhaps, in years to come, I will be so adept in my meditation practice that this will be completely superfluous. For now, it's a little luxury, a healing voice to ease me into my my own peace.
Turning East for Peace March 25, 2006

This gentle voice inviting me to relax, is helping me sleep nights. I recommend it for anyone who is stressed, anxious, or just needs a good night sleep. 20 minutes before bed time, and I sleep like a lamb.
