Guided Meditations: For Developing Calmness, Awareness, and Love

Customer Reviews

Stress relief in a jewel box

This is hands-down the best meditation CD I've come across. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. It's not tarted up with hokey sound effects and New Age music but is simply the teacher's (very pleasant) voice, guiding you to calm and relaxation. His approach is highly accessible for Westerners and really taught me how to meditate. I'm such a big fan of this CD, in fact, that I've bought at least four to give as gifts to stressed-out friends and family members. (One of the recipients was a voice teacher who said she could listen to him all night.) If you like what you hear, you should also check out the outstanding online meditation courses he offers on www.wildmind.org. I can't recommend the CD or the courses highly enough.

Guided Meditations by Bodhipaksa

As a busy working mum, my windows for meditation are prescious & few. I keep this CD with me and grab moments for meditation while waiting at sports practises, in gaps at work, and before everyone gets up in the morning. It makes such a wonderful difference to my life, and that of my family. The meditations are not too short,not too long, and Bodhipaksa's voice is wonderfully soothing.I thoroughly recommend this CD.

Clear and Straightforward

Bodhipaksa presents foundational meditations in a clear, straighforward, and unhurried manner. I have used this CD many times and will continue to revisit these guided meditations to refresh my own practice. Having witnessed Bodhipaksa teaching meditation both in person and through this medium I do not hesitate to state that this is the real thing. There are no gimmicks here. He presents material that has worked for centuries and does so as clearly as I have found in my 12 years of meditation. The guided meditations contained on this CD may seem simple. They are, that is part of their beauty and effectiveness, but one must practice them. Practice, stick with it, be patient, practice some more, and gradually calmness, awareness, and love will arise within and spread.
