Book Reviews of Meditation for Beginners: Six Guided Meditations for Insight, Inner Clarity, and Cultivating a Compassionate Heart
Book Review: the book is the best part
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got this book with the included CD tonight. When I was looking at this item I told myself that the CD should be thought of as a 'bonus'. I'm glad I did. The book reads nicely and cuts right to the chase about how to begin meditation and build your own practice. The CD, however, is anything but soothing. This man's voice is loud and unsettling. He might as well be giving instructions on how to pull your own teeth. The silence is the best part. The book is worth it though. I looked at a lot of other texts, that basically took 200-300 plus pages to discuss meditation including history, different methods, and a little on how to begin a practice. I'm pleased overall. I just won't be using the CD that often, if ever.
