Book Reviews of Guided Meditations: For Calmness, Awareness, and Love
Book Review: Bodhipaksa makes meditation delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
Guided Meditations CD for Calmness, Awareness, and Love by Bodhipaksa helped me to learn how to meditate. I had always worried that I could never sit still long enough or keep my mind quiet enough to ever practice meditation on a regular basis. But this CD is so gentle and kind that anyone can discover the benefits of meditation without feeling that they need the concentration of a Zen Buddhist or a Tibetan Lama.
The first guided meditation is Mindfulness of Breathing and uses the breath as the main focus for this practice. How incredibly simple, just following the breath, yet how incredibly powerful this meditation can be. You might say, "The breath is so boring, how can that really do anything?" Well, just try going without breathing for a few minutes and see how powerful the breath really is. But we simply take the breath for granted. This meditation practice is so easy that everyone can do it. I feel very relaxed in just a few minutes when doing this meditation.
The second guided meditation is Development of Loving Kindness. This is another kind yet powerful meditation from the Buddhist tradition but you don't have to be a Buddhist, or anything for that matter, to practice this meditation. Bodhipaksa guides you through each stage with his calm and soothing voice. In the first stage we send positive feelings to ourselves. The next stage is to a good friend, and then a stranger, and then a difficult person. I know that I have improved my feelings about others and myself through doing this meditation practice.
The third meditation is Walking Meditation and gives you a chance to meditate while moving. This is a great meditation to use if you want to meditate for extended periods of time or if you just find yourself uncomfortable sitting for one reason or another. I have used walking meditation between two or more periods of sitting meditation and it's a great change of position and energy.
If you have ever thought about trying meditation, but you were not sure where to start, this is the place to start. In the pleasure of your own home, sitting comfortably on the floor or in a chair, listening to Bodhipaksa quietly helping you to find calmness, awareness and love.
